AMD didn’t share any performance data for the Ryzen 7 7700X3D, though we’ve asked the company if it has any broad performance claims for the new chip; the company says we should see more near launch. We expect the chip to perform largely the same as the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, however. With X3D CPUs, in particular, even large jumps in clock speed amount to very little extra performance in games, as you can read about in our Ryzen 7 9850X3D review .
Performance for the Ryzen 7 7700X3D is important, as it’s being flanked by two other excellent gaming CPUs around the same price. From AMD’s camp, the Ryzen 5 7600X3D is $230 and provides 95% of the gaming performance of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D on average; the Ryzen 7 7700X3D will likely slot somewhere in between. From Intel’s side, there’s the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus at the same price as the Ryzen 7 7700X3D. Intel is still about 10% off the Ryzen 7 7800X3D in games, but it’s more than twice as fast in application performance.
The Ryzen 7 7700X3D arrives after the Ryzen 7 5800X3D on July 16, starting at $329. Assuming similar gaming performance as the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, that’s not a bad price. Although the lowest sale price for the 7800X3D is technically $320, the CPU has almost exclusively sold for above $350, sale or not.

thestryker While I'm never a fan of a money grab due to the mempocalypse this isn't a bad deal for folks still gaming on AM4 non-X3D. Reply
usertests I know some people were hoping for $200-250 since this has a large performance deficit vs. 7600X3D/7800X3D/9800X3D/etc. But 5800X3D buy it now prices on ebay are at $420 and up. 5700X3D is over $320 with most listings shipping from China. This is your last stop on AM4, it doesn't get any better. It won't have a big effect if this is a limited run, not unexpected for an Anniversary Edition with a "new box"! What is the value of the included Carbice pad? They haven't announced pricing yet, but I guess between $10-20. Reply
cknobman I really want a 5800x3d but not sure I want to spend $350 on it. Maybe i will wait and see if it goes on sale for $299 or less at some point. Reply
xiq Personally I hope they bring back more budget cpus like the ryzen 5 5600 too. Reply

saunupe1911 Would have been nice if they actually made performance improvements. I will stick with my 5900X for a few more years Reply
Giroro So human-purchasable computers are still completely dead for the foreseeable future? See you guys in 2027. Reply
