AMD Ryzen 7 9700X Review - The Magic of Zen 5
Test Setup »Unboxing and Photography
The Ryzen 7 9700X ships in a package that looks similar in box design to the Ryzen 7000 series. Unlike some Ryzen 8000 CPUs, the box doesn't scream support for Ryzen AI, since the chip lacks an NPU.
The new Ryzen 9000 Series looks just like the previous Ryzen 7000 Socket AM5 processors. While there are some minimal changes to the SMD capacitor layout, these aren't significant in any way.
The AM5 socket retention brace only applies pressure along the two side protrusions of the IHS. Intel sockets have it the same way.
