AMD released three non-X versions of the Ryzen 7000 series processors at CES 2022. In this topic, we will first conduct performance tests on the Ryzen 7 7700 and Ryzen 9 7900 processors.
Affordable boards with Ryzen 7000-series processors check in
The non-X version of the Ryzen 7000 series processors launched this time spans 3 different product levels. From low to high, they are Ryzen 5 7600, Ryzen 7 7700, and Ryzen 9 7900, which have 6, 8, and 12 processor cores respectively.
Compared with the previously launched X-version processors, the Ryzen 7 7700 and Ryzen 9 7900 introduced in this special topic have a slight downward adjustment of the clock pulse, and the power supply has also changed. The original TDP and Max Socket Power of Ryzen 7 7700X are 105 / 142W, while Ryzen 9 7900X is 170 / 230W. After adjustment, the power of both processors is 65 / 88W, which is absolutely positive for lowering the operating temperature However, although they are still unlocked overclocking, they will definitely be subject to maximum power to compress the potential PBO2 automatic overclocking (Precision Boost 2) and manual overclocking headroom.
However, the prices of these two products also have a large drop. Ryzen 7 7700 and Ryzen 9 7900 are respectively 70 yuan (17.54%) and 120 yuan (18.9%) lower than the X version. At the same time, the boxed version of the product also comes with Wraith Prism For the radiator, the user can save another NT$1,000, and the price is more competitive.

Test environment and conditions
In order to maintain the consistency of the components of the test platform, we did not use the original radiator, but maintained the MSI MEG Coreliquid S360 all-in-one water-cooled radiator, so that each processor under test can have a closer comparison benchmark.
During the test, the Resizable BAR function of the graphics card was turned on. Except for the Handbreak conversion test, each score was tested for two rounds, and the average was taken after confirming that there were no extreme values. The game performance used the game’s built-in test mode, while ” Fortress Heroes and Absolute Force: Global Offensive were tested using Titled Tower Benchmark and FPS Benchmark maps with NVIDIA FrameView respectively, and the resolutions of 1080p, 2K, and 4K were matched with the highest quality setting. If there is a setting template, the highest template will be applied. If not, adjust all image quality related items to the highest level, turn off settings such as VRS or dynamic resolution, and only adjust the ray tracing function on and off. As for the results of the control group, the results were obtained from the previous special articles written by the author.
