Ahead of their rumored debut next month, the prices and specifications of AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7000 series non-X desktop processors have seems to have been confirmed via a massive leak. The report comes almost a month after the U.S. prices of AMD's X series Ryzen 7000 CPUs were leaked online. They are expected to be more power-efficient than the X-series chips and ship with a uniform 65W TDP. They are also said to have the exact core count as their X-series counterparts like the Ryzen 9 7950X, the Ryzen 9 7900X, Ryzen 7 7700X, and the Ryzen 5 7600X.
An earlier report from prolific tipster 'chi11eddog' said that AMD's non-X Ryzen 7000 lineup will initially include the Ryzen 9 7900, Ryzen 7 7700, and Ryzen 5 7600. The tipster also confirmed that they would be priced at $429, $329, and $229, respectively. The latest report from VideoCardz seemingly confirms all that information and reveals further details about these chips. The newest info comes from AMD's embargoed presentation slides that are expected to be officially displayed on launch day next month.
AMD's Upcoming Ryzen 7000 Processors
The new SKUs expected to launch next month include the 6-core/12-thread Ryzen 5 7600, the 8-core/16-thread Ryzen 7 7700, and the 12-core/24-thread Ryzen 9 7900. All of them will have a 65W TDP and come with bundled in-box coolers. The report further claims that the Ryzen 9 7900 and Ryzen 7 7700 CPU will come with the Wraith Prism cooler, while the Ryzen 5 7600 will ship with the Wraith Stealth. In addition, all existing AM4 coolers are officially compatible with the AM5 socket, making them compatible with the new chips.
The report also confirms the clock speeds of the three chips that will go up against Intel's non-K offerings. While the Ryzen 9 CPU will be clocked at 5.4GHz, the Ryzen 7 will run at 5.3GHz, while the Ryzen 5 will have a frequency of 5.1GHz. They will all be based on the Zen 4 architecture and come with integrated Radeon graphics. The report does not reveal any further details about the upcoming chips, but very little remains hidden after the leaks over the past couple of months.
It will be interesting to see how AMD positions its new chips, as they could be a hard sell if they are actually priced at the leaked price points. Not only will the competition from Intel be brutal, but they will also find it tough going against their own stablemates after AMD reduced the prices of its X-series Ryzen 7000 processors last month. Following the price cut, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is available for $474, while the Ryzen 7 7700X and the Ryzen 5 7600X are available for just $349 and $249, respectively.
