AMD Ryzen 9 7900 & Ryzen 7 7700 Review

Blender Classroom

Looking at Blender Classroom, the stock Ryzen 9 7900 is well behind the 7900X thanks to its 750MHz frequency deficit. The 65W chip sits between a power unlimited Core i5-13600K and a Core i9-12900K.

Precision Boost Overdrive sees both of those Intel chips blasted past, though, with the 7900 and its 5.05GHz frequency effectively matching a stock 7900X.

For the Ryzen 7 7700, it is noticeably behind the 7700X at stock, and even PBO cannot fully make up the deficit. AMD’s new 65W chip is much quicker than the six-core Ryzen 5, though.

Cinebench R23 nT

Cinebench multi-threaded testing sees a similar trend to Blender.

The Ryzen 9 7900 is comparable to a power unlimited Core i5-13600K but pushes close to the quick 7900X when overclocked via PBO. And the Ryzen 7 7700 is still well above the Zen 4 six-core and Zen 3 eight-core.

Cinebench R23 1T

Single-threaded performance isn’t quite as strong on these 65W TDP parts when compared to the other Zen 4 processors. Lower maximum boost clock frequencies for our test system are the cause here.

Intel’s high-power 13th Gen competitors are also very strong when it comes to single-threaded grunt.

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.
