AMD Ryzen 7 7700
The Ryzen 7 7700 is interesting because again it's slightly worse value than the 7700X, but could head back towards the MSRP now that the 7700 is on the market. For gamers the 7700 also beats the 13700K in terms of value, offering a similar level of performance at a lower price point. But if productivity is a priority, then ignore that as the 13700K might be the faster option depending on the workload.

AMD could see its processor sales take off again with the arrival of this series of non-X Ryzen 7000 processors. They have many advantages, starting with a reduced power consumption compared to their big brothers 7000X. Of course, the performance is lower because of the lower frequencies, but thanks to their identical characteristics in terms of cores/threads and overclocking, it is quite possible to achieve performance close to that of the X version while having bought the processor for a more affordable price! One thing is for sure, we’ll be talking about these processors and particularly the Ryzen 5 7600 in the weeks to come.

It is good to see some new, more affordable options for the AM5 platform, particularly with the overclocking freedom that can likely make them X-rated processors on the cheap.

Adding 65W Ryzen CPU SKUs, AMD has furthered the availability and reach of it new AM5 platform.

Being a 65W chip, which can happily hit 90W when under heavy loads, you'll have no issue keeping it operating at lower temperatures, but you will find that it has a lower headroom when overclocking than its more power-hungry sibling. For gaming and other tasks, this isn't an issue and the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is more than capable of handling everything at a more reasonable price.

AMD wants $330 for the Ryzen 7 7700, which is quite a nice improvement over the $400 launch MSRP of the Ryzen 7 7700X, but 7700X is available for $345 nowadays. The $15 difference gives you only a small performance gain, but the resale value should be better. On the other hand, the non-X includes a solid cooler, which will easily save you 30-50 bucks. AMD motherboards are still crazy expensive.

The 65W Ryzen 7000 chips go a long way to reducing the barriers to entry for the AM5 platform, and if the pricing is right, they could make a compelling alternative to Intel's faster chips. However, pricing is currently volatile, so make sure to check for updated pricing before pulling the trigger.

Overall, AMD and the Ryzen 9 7900 ($429), Ryzen 7 7700 ($329), and Ryzen 5 7600 ($229) all represent different propositions to users looking for a solid low-powered desktop processor to build a system with. They also represent different levels within the market, including the entry-level with the Ryzen 5 7600, the mid-range with the Ryzen 7 7700, and the middle to high-end of the market with the Ryzen 9 7900.
