Lenovo has confirmed through filtration some of the characteristics of the standard models of processors AMD Ryzen 9 7900 and Ryzen 7 7700, those that do not have the X in the name. The corporation of Chinese origin confirms some things that were already being mentioned through rumors, such as the number of cores and threads, but the base work frequency seems to have dropped a bit.
The existence of the Ryzen 9 7900 and Ryzen 7 7700 processor models is taken for granted, but we will see what policies AMD applies after the sales failure of the X models marketed up to now. Such a situation could force the company to have to sell the cheaper non-X models in order to get them out and not overlap with the high-performance ones.
As we have already said, Lenovo has confirmed through a leak some characteristics of two Ryzen 7000 models of the non-X series. The Ryzen 9 7900 has confirmed the existence of 12 physical cores and 24 threads, while the same has happened with the Ryzen 7700 with its 8 physical cores and 16 threads.. However, it was initially expected that the base frequency outside 3.8GHz and now Lenovo mentions 3.6GHzwhich would be 200MHz than the rumors spread a week and a half ago.
In addition to non-X models of Ryzen 7000, AMD would also be preparing the models with 3D V-Cache, which would be released at the beginning of 2023 and could be presented along with the non-X models at CES 2023 to be held shortly after the start of the year in the American city of Las Vegas. Ryzen 7000 models with 3D V-Cache will feature stacked L3 cache, a feature that has its advantages, but at the trade-off of making it a bit more difficult to clear.
Now the supposed characteristics of the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 They sit at twelve physical cores, twenty-four threads, 12MB of level 2 cache, 64MB of level 3 cache, 3.6GHz base frequency, and a maximum working speed of 5.4GHz. It is speculated that its reference price for the US market would be $429which would be about 120 less than the non-X model.
For his part, he AMD Ryzen 7 7700 it would have eight physical cores, sixteen threads, 8MB L2 cache, 32MB L3 cache, a base clock speed of 3.6GHz, and a maximum frequency of 5.3GHz. The reference price for the United States would be $329which would be 70 less than its counterpart X.
The non-X models of Ryzen 7000 aim to be a better option in relation to performance-price, and even with these, they will be very much for the vast majority of users, especially seeing that, for many years, the problem is not so much in the power of the hardware as well as the fact that the software does not take advantage of it.
