Possible Ryzen 7000-series CPU Specifications and Pricing Leak; Ryzen 9 7950X to Reach 5.7 GHz
Wccftech has presented the full ZEN4 lineup and anticipates will premiere in a month if rumors are true. The Ryzen 5 7600X basic model is claimed to have a 4.7 GHz base clock and 5.3 GHz peak clock. No change in CPU core or thread count; however, L2 cache is significantly bigger.
Ryzen 7 7700X features a base frequency of 4.5 GHz and a boost clock of 5.4 GHz. Core and thread count remain the same, while L2 cache is increased to 40 MB. Both have 105 W TDP. The fastest model, the Ryzen 9 7950X, will have 16 cores and 32 threads. Furthermore, the processor will feature a base clock speed of 4.5GHz, making the next CPU 1.1GHz faster than the Ryzen 9 5950X by default. The boost frequency on a single core should be 5.7GHz, and the chip will have a TDP of 170W.
According to the leaks, the Ryzen 9 7900X will have 12 cores with a base frequency of 4.7 GHz and a peak rate of 5.6 GHz. The CPU has a TDP of 170W once again. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, on the other hand, has 8 cores and 16 threads, a boost frequency of up to 5.4GHz, and a TDP of 105W. There is no mention of a Ryzen 7 7800X processor. The Ryzen 5 7600X is the lowest-ranked model AMD will ship in September. That CPU has six cores and twelve threads running at 4.7GHz, with a boost frequency of up to 5.3GHz and a TDP of 105W.
The CPUs will include an optimized cache architecture with double the L2 cache (1 MB versus 512 KB), a shared L3 cache like the previous generation, DDR5 memory support with EXPO (AMD's Extended Profiles For Memory Overclocking), PCIe Gen 5.0 graphics card compatibility, and M.2 SSD support.
CPU NAME | ARCHITECTURE | PROCESS NODE | CORES / THREADS | BASE CLOCK | BOOST CLOCK (SC MAX) | CACHE | TDP | PRICES (TBD) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X | Zen 4 | 5nm | 16/32 | 4.5 GHz | 5.7 GHz | 80 MB (64+16) | 170W | ~$700 US |
AMD Ryzen 9 7900X | Zen 4 | 5nm | 12/24 | 4.7 GHz | 5.6 GHz | 76 MB (64+12) | 170W | ~$600 US |
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X | Zen 4 | 5nm | 8/16 | 4.5 GHz | 5.4 GHz | 40 MB (32+8) | 105W | ~$300 US |
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X | Zen 4 | 5nm | 6/12 | 4.7 GHz | 5.3 GHz | 38 MB (32+6) | 105W | ~$200 US |

The issue, is that this leak might set up the wrong expectations, and then some people will feel cheated when the real prices are revealed.
Expectation management and PC hardware

But i think its worthwhile as for the first time in a long time, we may well see a real credible alternative to NV and Intel domination (in all areas both price and performance).
Just think about it, GPUs that may be both faster and cheaper than NV alternative and CPUs that surpass both single and multi core Intel performance for less cash and less power.
We can dream.
And us punters are the winners when we have this kind of competition.

The only reason for AMD to sell 7600/7700 that cheap is if they managed to go backwards. Considering AMDs GPU pricing strategies (especially lower end), they will rather try to increase prices and make themselves look good when they slash prices...

That is a very impressive bandwidth for L3 cache.
well that's interesting if true. might make the need for huge amounts of 3D Vcache not as useful.

not at all.
this is what happens when a new manufacturing process matures and it happens all of the time in every Consumer Electronics segment, irrespective of Blu-Ray players or Televisions.
even without adjusting for inflation, TV prices are more than 70% less expensive than when LCD panels were introduced. like wise for Blu-Ray players.
in 2007 the Intel Core2Duo (Q6600) - one of the best CPU's of all time - sold for $450. that is a four core eight thread CPU that is beaten like a bad dog by either AMD or Intel under $200.
this CPU was so good it lead to a decade of complacency @ Intel.
AMD has an incredibly high yield process - the highest ever achieved with semiconductors (which is NOT hype). this process has undergone a node shrink increasing the yield even more.
Intel cannot compete on yield as all of their cpu's to date are monolithic (with well over 30% Lower Yield)
which means they cannot compete on price (unless they subsidize the sales).
until now AMD has had to pay to be a node pioneer - which is why Ryzen 3 had a price bump.
this time they are not pioneering any node so they do not have to pay extra for exclusivity or the first fab slots.

As you can see in the benchmarks, the alleged AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12 Core CPU delivers a 47% increase in L3 bandwidth over the Alder Lake and over 50% increase versus its Zen 3-powered predecessor. The difference widens in the L3 copy metric where the chip is almost 3 times faster than the Alder Lake CPU. In latency, the chip delivers the lowest timing of all with an interconnect speed of 10.1ns whereas the Alder Lake CPU has a time delay of twice as much at 21.8ns. Do note that in latency figures, we are talking timing, and the lower the better.
That is a very impressive bandwidth for L3 cache.
