Ryzen 7 7700 Specifications

The Ryzen 7 7700 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 8 performance cores operating at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz , and includes 16 threads. It also comes equipped with 8 MB of L2 cache and 32 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.
