AMD Ryzen 7 7700X "Zen 4" Geekbench and CPU-Z Bench Numbers Surface
A user named "orangezone" submitted a CPU-Z validation for an alleged retail AMD Ryzen 7 7700X processor, revealing its key specs that include 5.425 GHz clocks at 1.152 V core-voltage. The submission includes a CPU-Z Bench run for the processor, which puts the single-threaded performance at 774 points, and the multi-threaded performance of the 8-core/16-thread processor at 8381 points. The single-threaded performance is around 20% higher than that of the previous-gen flagship Ryzen 9 5950X, and about 1% faster than the Core i9-12900K ("Golden Cove" P-core). This particular bench run was performed on a Gigabyte X670E AORUS Master motherboard, with DDR5-6400 CL30 memory.
In separate news, BenchLeaks spotted a Geekbench run of the Ryzen 7 7700X (by a different user); on an ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Hero and DDR5-6000 memory. Here, the processor scored 2209 points in the single-threaded test, and 14459 points in the multi-threaded one, in Geekbench 5.4.5. This is a surprising result, as it puts the single-threaded performance of the 7700X at about 16% higher than the Core i7-12700K, and a fascinating 2% higher than the 8P+4E "Alder Lake" chip in multi-threaded tests. The 7700X launches in the same market segment as the i7-12700K, when it goes on sale this September 27.

Though if I go and do a search on 8+ cores CPUs, the three cheapest ones are from AMD all under 300. But it is not on the European Union market, so it could be that.
Now, my point was that if there was no strong AMD, we would be paying more for less.
The fact that Intel offers more for the money should tell you what impact did zen family of CPUs made.
There is no way you would have such an offer otherwise. I do not understand how people do not see this and acknowledge it.Nvidia profited from the scarcity and very strong demand 8coming mostly from the miners) to go up with the prices. AMD did the same. All hardware tried to do the same.
What they found is that there were a lot of people ready to pay 1000 for an Nvidia 3070 or Radeon 6800. Once they got this data, it will be very difficult to get back to the prices we had before.
They saw people are ready to pay more. And that is on us. I was lucky to get my GPU at MSRP, but I would never spend 1000 and more on them. But many did. hence, now we have elevated prices.
You'd better talk about performance of those cores and platform upgradability for businesses.
New Ryzen 5 7600X 6-core is faster in single threaded than 12900K with 16-cores.
Nowadays 6 cores perform equally or better than 12 cores just a few years ago.
Businesses will be quite happy to invest into new AM5 AMD platform that will be supported at least for 5 years knowing that they can simply swap a single CPU for a faster one in a few years and call it a day, rather than buying a new Intel 13th gen platform that is hitting dead end immediately after release.
In a long run, it pays to invest into platform with longevity, especially for businesses looking for uncomplicated solutions further down the road. Those businesses do not want to buy completely new machines every couple of years if they can swap a single CPU and carry on.
AMD is stable on a GPU side too, especially for the business. We also do VR applications, no problem there either (Unreal and Unity engines).
Do you people understand that we should not take sides and invent stories that put a bad light on the opposite product?
The point is to ideally support the product that gives the best for the budget you have. This is how companies know what we want and they adapt accordingly.
If Intel is better, I buy Intel. If AMD is better I buy AMD. It is as easy as that.
Your recent comments have nothing positive to say about AMD products, which makes me think of fanboyism.
Is there anything positive about AMD products for business?
What positive is there for amd products? The 13600k offers double the performance and more than double the core count of the 7600x. Nough said I think. When AMD decides to move on from 6 cores (it's been what, 6 years now) they might be able to compete again.
When a school or civil servant institution orders laptops for their workforce, they do not need more than six, rarely eight cores, if ever, for daily job. U series is fine. There are thousands of such businesses. My institution is going to move to AMD Rembrandt laptops because their APUs are super efficient and people can carry laptops for 6-7 hours around without charging. Plus, APUs are well performant for their needs.
Your reasoning would need to be more informed to get any traction here, rather than saying i5 offers double the performance in comparison to a wrong CPU. Firstly, i5 13600K compares to 7700X, and secondly, I have not heard of any civil servant institution buying unlocked CPUs for their workforce. Ridiculous. Those CPUs are for design studios, etc., for more specific professions and sold in lower quantities. If anything, P series could sell well.
No, the 13600k doesn't compare to the 7700x (which it also handily beats btw). The price most likely will be closer to the 7600x. Secondly, ALL of amd's cpus are unlocked, so if civil servant institutions don't buy unlocked CPUs, then they don't buy AMD, do they?
Besides, plenty of cheap AM4 CPUs and APUs are available, that many companies could find attractive for next 5 year or so purchase.
It is true that Intel has had a deep penetration of OEM client and business environment for years, but this is changing now, little by little. Just look at the server environment and other advancements AMD has made in recent years. Find the numbers.
And if you are going to claim those are still issues and not even using the platform its on you to prove it not me.
how about the rest of my post?
Support your argument!
Workers who need to carry their laptops around from "9-to-5" within company or outside do not need to worry about carrying charger everywhere they go. It's enough to charge it once a day and optimize usage. It is AMD laptops that could cover one standard shift on a daily basis.
