Ryzen 7 7700X3D Specifications

The leaked data points to an 8-core, 16-thread configuration based on the Zen 4 architecture. The processor is said to have a 96 MB L3 cache and operate with a TDP of 120 W. The clock rates for the Ryzen 7 7700X3D are specified at 4.0 GHz as the base clock and 4.5 GHz as the boost clock. Compared to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, these values mean a reduction in the clock rates, as the latter operates with higher base and boost clock limits.

The specifications indicate that this model is not intended to replace the current high-end X3D models, but rather to cover a different price or performance class. While the core count and cache volume are the same as the 7800X3D, the lower clock speeds indicate a different tuning profile.

The new Ryzen 7 7700X3D will likely target a lower price point than its predecessor, which would make 3D-V cache technology accessible to a wider segment of users. If it positions itself below the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, it should be under €300, as the Ryzen 7 7800X3D currently sells for around €349 (Affiliate).
