AMD Ryzen 9 7900 & Ryzen 7 7700 Review

Luke Hill January 9, 2023 Component, CPU, Featured Tech Reviews, Reviews

Borderlands 3 has clearly benefitted from game, AGESA, and BIOS updates since we tested the original Ryzen 7000 series processors.

With that said, the new 65W Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 have no problems pushing out lofty frame rates of over 144 FPS average. Even the 1% lows are well above 100 FPS.

Far Cry 6 is clearly frequency sensitive, and this means that the non-X processors are a little behind their X siblings.

There really isn’t much in it, though, and with the anticipated price savings of the non-X chips, they’re probably better buys.

Hitman 3 is another result that looks very favourably on the Ryzen 9 7900. The Ryzen 7 7700 matches the 7700X perfectly, too, so no problems with the non-X chips here.

And Shadow of the Tomb Raider shows similar performance numbers between the X and non-X Ryzen 7000 parts. Albeit with the Ryzen 9 7900 and our updated test platform having better 1% low results.

Gaming Summary

Gaming performance on these new non-X chips looks to be absolutely fine versus the Intel and AMD X competitors.

The reality is that you are likely to run out of GPU horsepower before hitting frame rates in excess of what the CPUs can handle. And that’s especially true if you’re gaming at 1440p or above – as we’d imagine most Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 buyers are.

Senior Intel Engineer Explains the Radical Shift in CPU Design

When Intel launched Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) in 2024 we gave you the technical details and followed up with a review of the Asus Zenbook S 14 which has incredible battery life. In the following month we discussed Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) and how we considered it was unfit for review in a situation that was not resolved until February 2025. On the one hand we have Lunar Lake which we like, while on the other hand we have Arrow Lake which is troubled, yet both families of processors run on Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores and have a huge amount in common.
