Ryzen 9 7900


Ryzen 9 7900 Specifications

The Ryzen 9 7900 is built on the Zen 4 Raphael architecture and manufactured using the 5 nm process. It is compatible with the AM5 socket and supports DDR5 memory with speeds of up to 5200 MT/s. This processor features 12 performance cores operating at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz , and includes 24 threads. It also comes equipped with 12 MB of L2 cache and 64 MB of L3 cache.

This CPU has a low base TDP of 65 W and a maximum TDP of 88 W. Stock CPU coolers are generally adequate as long as overclocking is not applied. It is a good fit for compact systems where heat dissipation is a concern.

For users who require integrated graphics, this CPU includes the Radeon™ Graphics, which features 2 GPU cores. It operates at a base clock of 400.00 GHz and boosts up to 2200.00 GHz. This makes it suitable for systems without a dedicated GPU, capable of handling everyday tasks and running older or less demanding games. Integrated graphics can also accelerate specific workloads even when a discrete GPU is installed.

Ryzen 9 7900 Application Performance and Gaming Benchmark Analysis

Ryzen 9 7900 is an upper mid-range CPU, achieving a relative application performance score of 65.91% of the best possible desktop CPU performance. This CPU is ideal for multitasking and can handle professional applications such as 3D rendering, video editing, and other heavy workloads, though not at the same speed or efficiency as higher-end models.

Ryzen 9 7900 delivers a balanced application performance-per-price ratio of 54.9%. It provides good value for users looking for a practical balance between cost and performance.

Ryzen 9 7900 is a mid-range gaming CPU, achieving a relative gaming performance score at 1080p resolution of 77.35% of the best possible desktop CPU gaming performance. This CPU provides solid mid-level gaming performance and is best paired with corresponding mid-range graphics cards. Note that CPU-related performance limitations decrease as GPU performance lowers—particularly at higher resolutions—since the GPU becomes the bottleneck.

With a gaming performance-per-price score of 35.6%, this CPU does not offer strong value in this category. As this CPU does not deliver top-tier gaming performance and also has a low gaming performance-to-price ratio, it represents poor value. More competitive options are available at a similar price point.
