Surprise! New (and hopefully cheap) Ryzen 7000 processors have shown up online:
In the SiSoft leak both the eight-core 7700 and the six-core 7600 appear to have clockspeeds of 3.8GHz, vastly lower than their ‘X’ SKUs. In direct comparison to their ‘X’ counterparts the Ryzen 7 7700 is 700MHz lower while the Ryzen 5 7600 is 900MHz lower, suggesting that the non-X chips will be slower - unsurprising based on AMD’s previous naming conventions.Non-X SKUs of Ryzen processors typically provide a bit less power at a lower price point than their X variants.
This means that if the price point is set carefully, the 7600 could become a serious rival for the Intel i5-13600k and become the most affordable budgetcurrently-available 7600X , though it does perform better. The MSRP of the previous-gen Ryzen 5 5600 stands at $199, so if we do see the 7600 we can assume it would retail for around the same price since the 7600X didn't see a generational price increase against the 5600X.
All in all, this spells out good news for people looking for new chips at more affordable prices. The Ryzen 5 5600 is currentlyfor a staggeringly cheap $139 - we'd guess this could be to clear out stock and make room for the newer model.Muskaan is TechRadar’s UK-based Computing writer.
