AMD Ryzen 7 7700 (non-X) Surfaces; Possibly OEM-only
AMD is preparing to expand its Ryzen 7000-series "Zen 4" desktop processor series with new SKUs, one of which is the Ryzen 7 7700 (non-X). Given past trends with non-X SKUs for the Ryzen 5000-series, the 7700 is very likely an OEM-only SKU to be featured in pre-built desktops. The inclusion of an iGPU with the Ryzen 7000-series changes things dramatically for AMD, as it makes these processors suitable for even home- and commercial desktops that lack discrete graphics. The Ryzen 7 7700 has the same 8-core/16-thread configuration as the Ryzen 7 7700X, but likely lower clock-speeds, due to the lower power-limits. The chip has a TDP of 65 W, compared to the 105 W of the 7700X; which means its package power tracking (PPT) power limit will be closer to 90 W, than the 140 W of the 7700X. This will also significantly lower the cooling requirements for the processor, and OEMs could use cost-effective air coolers. The exact clock-speeds, though, remain under the wraps.

AMD already annonced the 7000 series production will slow down because there ain't enough buyers and I can understand that because I was really one of them looking forward to go with Ryzen 7000 but not if I have to pay double the price for everything and I can get a 12 or 13gen Intel for less even reuse DDR4...
So AMD has to thing wisely because with the cheapest B650-Non E board costing about £235 here and then 32GB AMD Expo memory from G.Skill 6000MT/s for another £200 and the 7700X for about £450 it's downhill.
Intel Core i7 12700K is about £410, MSI Pro Z670-A DDR4 (Which is a really good Z670 board) is only about £195 and 32GB G.Skill Ripjaw 4000MT/s CL18 for abnout £120 and the user can save £110 and get a Z series chipset AMD could be able to do better with their B series board I know that PCI Gen5 ain't cheap but come on.
They should've offered motherboards with 125€ (real price the one we pay not fake MSRP). Or at least launch only the Ryzen9s, and then launch the rest when motherboards are correctly priced.
i7 12700 / 12700F gaming benchmarks.
In the next couple of month maybe next year I will be looking at 32GB or 64GB for a good deal about 3600-3800MT/s with about CL18 from G.Skill because they have the best compatbility.
