While AMD’s new Ryzen 7000 “Raphael” chips have yet to be officially launched, a tester in China has already had the opportunity to procure one of the models, the Ryzen 7 7700X.
On the Chinese social network Bilibili, the leaker Extreme Player has already been able to take control AMD’s new Ryzen 7700X chip, based on the Zen 4 architecture. The processor even went through the Cinebench R20 benchmark before its official launch, giving us a good look at the performance boost over the previous generation.
As the video in Chinese reveals, this new Ryzen 7 7700X runs at a base frequency of 4.5 GHz, and is capable of reaching 5.4 GHz in boost mode. The processor has 8 cores and 16 threads, like the current Ryzen 7 5700X model. The TDP is also quite low, since it is fixed at 105W (142W PPT). Finally, the CPU will have a 40MB cache which consists of 32MB L3 from the single CCD and 8MB L2 from the 4 Zen cores.

The Ryzen 7 7700X is more powerful than current chips, but not enough to overtake Intel
In Cinebench R20, the Ryzen 7 7700X chip scored 773 and 7701 points, respectively, in single-core and multi-core tests. In the first case, it represents 23% more than the current Ryzen 7 5800X and 33% more than the second case. This result should appease critics who worried about the capabilities of Raphael processors. AMD has officially promised a 15% performance gain for one core, from a mix of higher frequencies and increased CPI (by 8-10%).
Unfortunately, the Ryzen 7 7700X is not yet powerful enough to hope to overtake Intel’s chips. Indeed, the fastest processor remains the Core i7-13700K of the Raptor Lake series which will arrive on September 28th. The latter obtains a score of 814 points on a heart according to the benchmarks that have leaked. In multi-core, Intel’s chip peaks at 12243 points, but we must remember that it will use twice as many cores as AMD’s (16 cores, 24 threads). It is expected that the Ryzen 9 chips and their 16 cores will do much better than Intel, but we will have to wait for the official presentation to find out more.
