AMD Ryzen 7 7700X misses out: Four other Raphael SKUs expected to lead Zen 4 charge in September as AMD Ryzen 9 7950X gets alleged price tag

[Redaktion]

New AMD Ryzen 7000 leaks have detailed the potential launch line-up for the upcoming Zen 4 desktop parts, a possible release date, and even a supposed price tag for the top-end Ryzen 9 7950X. It seems there won't be an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X at launch time, with the series arguably emulating the Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 staggered release schedule.

If it gets a price increase over Zen 3, then it has to beat Raptor Lake in single-threaded. Or "jebait" and lower the prices after Raptor Lake releases a month or two later.

Potential buyers could also wait a few months for the V-Cache launch and cheaper mobos/DDR5.

Or buy Ryzen 3000 / 5000 and DDR4.

*Potential buyers of the new CPUs who want the most performance possible

Obviously, most people on the planet do not actually need to get onto AM5 and would probably be fine with a low-end 3100, 4100, 4600G, etc.

Why sooo concerned about no 7700X? Who really cares?? Most won't use the power of the 7600X, and AMD yields seem to allow higher spec CPU easily, with a lot of step-ups to be available. So why should AMD cripple/demote GOOD silicon, leave $$ on the table, and give us less of a CPU?

It's not really crippling to lower clock speeds by a couple hundred MHz on the worst but intact 8-core chiplets. Crippling is when they turn an 8-core chiplet into a 4-core. Almost no reason to do so.

If AMD continues to use 8-core chiplets as it moves into Zen 5/6/7, maybe 6-core can be at budget prices while the top-end uses 3-4 chiplets.

lol says who

So by some arbitrary and inconsequential metric you brought up it should be better than the competition, "or else" lmao

Who TF even renders, packs/unpacks, compiles code etc on one core? haha
As for gaming, I think 5800X3D finally nailed the last nail in the coffin of "SC performance is king for gaming!" nonsense many misinformed normies kept repeating.

Also you're just assuming Intel will not increase prices itself. I thin people forget how "cheap" and "great value" the 12900KS is... haha
(ofc all of these price speculations and "leaks" are worthless, we don't have official MSRP, or even product announcements, let alone products in stock and listed, in stores, on any of these parts)
