AMD Ryzen 9 7900 and Ryzen 7 7700 (non-X) Listed as Prebuilt Options on Lenovo

[btarunr]

Lenovo started offering the Ryzen 9 7900 and Ryzen 7 7700 processors as options for its prebuilt desktops, confirming that the 7900 and 7700 will be OEM-exclusives, at least initially. That doesn't mean these chips won't make it to the retail channel, as OEM-only parts from AMD in the past have somehow found their way to retailers, who bought them in trays, and sold them piecemeal as combos with motherboards and CPU coolers. The 7900 is a 12-core/24-thread part, just like its retail-channel sibling, the 7900X. The 7700 is an 8-core/16-thread part, again, similar to the 7700X. Not much else is known about these chips, except for their base frequency of just 3.60 GHz (compared to 4.70 GHz for the 7900X, and 4.50 GHz for the 7700X). Both chips are expected to feature a lowered TDP, with just 65 W for the 7700 (down from 105 W for the 7700X), and possibly 65 W or 105 W for the 7900 (down from 170 W for the 7900X).

Looking at the base frequency, looks like 65W TDP. When motherboards get cheaper, these would do good in retail market, if and when they come.

Those couldn't come soon enough.
More affordable, use less w and easier to cool. With the hopefully cheaper mobos, this will be the lineup ZEN4 for the mass.

Zen4 doesn't require huge cooling.
Those damn motherboards, they cost a leg and are holding Zen4 adoption IMO.

And yet, those will be easier to cool.
What are you trying to defend?

The problem with ZEN4 has always been that the motherboard is too expensive

Indeed.
I wasn't trying to defend anyone, they are just some misleading information out there about the 95° even from the so called reviewers they should be banned from getting samples for incompetence.

There's nothing misleading about the 95c thing. Zen 4 WILL turbo boost to 95c under most conditions, regardless of cooler. Additional capacity is used for more boost.

The problem is most people in general are, quite frankly, too pants-on-head retarded to understand "temperature is not the same as heat output" and just see 95c and go "ZOMG ITS SO HOTTTT!!!!!1!". It doesnt matter how often reviewers clarify what that temp actually means, people are just too illiterate and dumb to understand what is in front of them.

Exactly.
Though some so called reviewers spread another misconception about 95° being too hot for the CPU.
