Just recently, we saw the first evidence that AMD is planning new Ryzen 7000 CPUs, offering non-X variants of the line-up. Now, the first benchmark entry for the Ryzen 7700 has appeared, giving us an early look at what to expect.
The entry shared by Benchleaks shows the Ryzen 7 7700 was tested on an ASRock X670E Taichi equipped with 16GB of DDR5-4800 memory. The CPU has eight cores and sixteen threads, as we've come to expect. Moreover, the processor has a base clock speed of 3.8GHz and a boost clock speed of 5.35GHz. The TDP is still unknown, but it should be 65W.

Multi: 12685, +18.1%https://t.co/IKzotzWYF5— Benchleaks (@BenchLeaks) October 25, 2022
In the single-core benchmark, the CPU scores 2,062 points, which falls below the Ryzen 5 7600X. However, this could be because the system was using DDR5-4800. AMD recommends DDR5-5200 for Ryzen 7000 processors. As for multi-core, the Ryzen 7 7700 faired way better, scoring 12,685 points. Compared to other Ryzen 7000 series chips, that would put it between the Ryzen 5 7600X and the Ryzen 7 7700X.
As of now, AMD hasn't yet shared anything official about this processor. As such, we still don't know when it will become available.
KitGuru says: If you were looking for an 8-core AMD CPU, would you go for the Ryzen 7 7700 or the Ryzen 7 7700X?
