AMD has officially announced the Ryzen 7000 processor models, which the institution had accidentally revealed backmost successful July. It volition merchandise 4 models connected September 27th, to beryllium specific, the astir affordable of which is the 6-core Ryzen 5 7600X that volition acceptable you backmost $299, followed by the 8-core Ryzen 7700X that costs $100 much astatine $399. The 12-core Ryzen 9 7900X CPU volition beryllium sold for $549, portion the 16-core Ryzen 9 7950X volition outgo $699. As Ars Technica notes, the 7600X and the 7900X models person the aforesaid motorboat prices arsenic their nonstop predecessors from the Ryzen 5000 lineup, whereas the 7950X is $100 cheaper. The 7700X costs $100 much than the 5700X, but that exemplary launched implicit a twelvemonth aft the archetypal Ryzen 5000 processors came out.

The Ryzen 7000 models are based connected AMD's Zen 4 architecture, which promises to present max boost velocity supra 5GHz, AI acceleration and a doubled L2 cache. They usage AM5 platform, the chipmaker's caller socket generation, and volition necessitate DDR5 RAM. They're besides the archetypal desktop CPUs based connected the 5nm manufacturing process, according to Gizmodo, and that means they person much transistors than the 5000 chips. That usually translates to little vigor and much powerfulness for users. 

AMD claims that the Ryzen 7000 processors are astir 29 percent faster than the Ryzen 5000 models for single-threaded tasks, including games. Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster told CNET, though, that erstwhile the institution measured for tasks that span the processor's 16 processing cores, the velocity boost was arsenic overmuch arsenic 49 percent.

If you're looking for Zen 4 CPUs cheaper than these four, you'll person to hold until adjacent twelvemonth erstwhile the much affordable options and models for laptops are slated to arrive. The institution intends to proceed selling processors based connected older Zen architectures that enactment with the AM4 platform, though,so you inactive person options if you're looking to physique a PC connected a budget.
