AMD Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 Retailer Pricing Shows Big Hike Over Ryzen 5000

By | 14 June 2023

AMD Ryzen 7000 Zen 4, online shops have begun stocking AMD’s forthcoming Zen 4 core-based Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs. PC-Canada, a Canadian shop, has posted a preliminary price list online that includes all four CPUs. AMD’s Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4” Central Processing Units Have Made Their Way Into The Price Database, With The Flagship Ryzen 9 7950X Showing Up At $892 USD.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 7900X, Ryzen 7 7700X, and Ryzen 5 7600X Tray and No-Cooler SKUs have been seen on Momomo US with their respective prices. The retailer’s tentative prices for the chips are as follows:

  • Price: $1158 USD / $1140 CAD ($892 US) for an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (100-100000514/WOF).
  • For $798 / $777 CAD ($608 US), you can get an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X (100-100000589/WOF).
  • Price: $631 / $613 CAD ($480 US) for an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X (100-100000591/WOF).
  • For $435 or $423 in Canada (about $330 in the US), you can get an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (100-100000593/WOF).

The high costs are to be expected given that these are preliminary listings, but recent speculations suggested that while the 8- and 6-core models would finish out cheaper than their predecessors, the high-core count variants within the Ryzen 9 series might end up costing greater.

PC-Preliminary Canada’s Listing of AMD’s Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4” Desktop CPU Family:

When compared to currently available processors from the same retailer, we see that the Ryzen 9 7950X is priced at $158 CAD more than the Ryzen 9 5950X. The pricing of the Ryzen 9 7900X is lower by $13 CAD compared to the Ryzen 9 5900X, the price of the Ryzen 7 7700X is higher by $216 CAD compared to the Ryzen 7 5700X, and the price of the Ryzen 5 7600X is lower by $15 CAD compared to the Ryzen 5 5600X. Thus, we should hold off until the final prices are announced on the 29th of August, which only AMD now has access to.

Dive into the meat of the specifications: 

It’s important to note that the AMD Zen 4 architecture brings with it an 8-10% IPC uplift, but that the majority of the performance benefit comes from higher clock speeds and a higher TDP that is supplemented to each chip compared to the previous generation. When comparing Zen 4 to Zen 3 cores, AMD has emphasised improvements of >15% Single-Threaded, >35% Multi-Threaded, and >25% Perf/Watt. The CPUs will support DDR5 memory with EXPO (AMD’s Extended Profiles For Memory Overclocking), a PCIe Gen 5.0 graphics card, and an M.2 SSD, and will feature double the L2 cache (1 MB vs. 512 KB) and a shared L3 cache like the previous generation. Now that we’ve established that, let’s move on to the technical details.

AMD 6 core Ryzen 7000 CPU

Cores, Threads

The top of the line AMD Ryzen 9 7950X keeps the same. Healthy 16 cores and 32 threads as the previous two generations. Its base frequency will be 4.5 GHz. And its boost clock will reach 5.7 GHz, making it 200 MHz faster than Intel’s Alder Lake Core i9-12900KS. Which has a boost frequency of 5.5 GHz on a single core. It appears that AMD is squeezing every last bit of performance out of. Its Ryzen 9 processors within their 170W TDP (230W PPT). The CPU’s 80 MB of cache consists of 16 MB of L2 cache and 64 MB of L3 cache (32 MB per CCD) (1 MB per core). Though we don’t know the Ryzen 9 7950X’s price or performance just yet, we can assume it will be a good successor to the Ryzen 9 5950X and will be able to easily defeat Intel’s current Core i9-12900K CPU based on the clocks alone.

CPU for Desktops: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12 Core “Zen 4”

The 7900X, another AMD Ryzen 9 CPU, would have 12 cores and 24 threads, as the number indicated in the model name. An increased base speed of 4.7 GHz and a boost clock of 5.6 GHz are included in the CPU. In addition to the 76 MB of cache (64 MB L3 + 12 MB L2) and 170W TDP, the CPU keeps its low power consumption. The CPU’s price and positioning will be comparable to the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, but its performance will be enough to make the Core i7-12700K quake in its boots.

AMD’s 8-core “Zen 4” Ryzen 7 7700X desktop processor

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor in the Ryzen 7 family. This is the golden spot for gamers, according to AMD. Therefore the CPU will have a base frequency of 4.5 GHz and a boost clock of 5.4 GHz, but will only require 105W of power (142W PPT). The CPU will have access to a total of 40 MB of cache. Made up of 32 MB of L3 cache provided by the single CCD and 8 MB of L2 cache provided by the Zen 4 cores. Notably, AMD has not released any new information about a Ryzen 7 7800X processor. AMD is probably working on a successor to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D that also features Zen 4 cores (3D V-Cache). Since AMD has confirmed the launch of the V-Cache components for the fourth quarter of 2022, if this is the case, we can expect an update to the CPU lineup later this year. Furthermore, it appears that the Ryzen 7 7700X will be priced very competitively in the mainstream category.

AMD’s desktop “Zen 4” processor, the Ryzen 5 7600X, has 6 “Zen” cores.

Finally, we have the Ryzen 5 7600X, the lowest-priced chip in this group (if you can call it that; the price tag won’t reflect that). A high base clock of 4.7 GHz and a single-core boost frequency of 5.3 GHz will be featured in this 6-core/12-thread component. Again, this is the price to pay for increased CPU clock speeds. The 105W TDP (142W PPT) is significantly greater than its 65W predecessor. The CPU’s on-die cache amounts to 38 MB, split between 32 MB of L3 and 6 MB of L2.

FAQs:

Q1: Do AM4 processors work with Zen 4?

According to the site, it would be very challenging to build a Zen 4 on an AM4 motherboard. Because the AM5 socket is an LGA with a smaller bottom height. But the same top height as the PGA socket used in AM4. The chiplets’ vertical layout makes it clear that they were not intended to fit in an AM4 package.

Q2: How effective will Ryzen 7000 be?

AMD also promises that its Ryzen 7000 CPUs would provide a minimum of a 15% single-threaded performance. Gain over their Ryzen 5000 predecessors. This should result in higher frames per second in the finest PC games (assuming you are not being held back by your GPU).

Q3: When did Ryzen 7000 become available?

The first Zen 4 products, AMD Ryzen 7000 Zen 4, the Ryzen 7000 series for desktop PCs. Will be released by AMD in the fall of 2022. (codenamed Raphael). By my calculations. We should get Ryzen 7000 by the end of the year, which is appropriate given that the US autumn season begins on September 22 and finishes on December 22.

Q4: Will the AMD 7000 be compatible with AM4?

Despite AMD’s transition to a new socket design. Ryzen 7000 chips will maintain compatibility with AM4 cooling solutions while using the same socket size.

Q5: How much of a speed boost can we anticipate from Ryzen 7000?

When making chips, a smaller process node allows more transistors to be packed onto the device. Which results in faster performance. Because of this. AMD asserts that the Ryzen 7000 processors will offer a 15% performance boost over the Ryzen 5000 CPUs.
