Lenovo confirmed by filtering some features of standard processor models AMD Ryzen 9 7900 and Ryzen 7 7700, which do not have an X in the name. The Chinese-born corporation confirms some things that have already been mentioned through rumors, such as the number of cores and threads, but the base operating frequency seems to have dropped a bit.

The existence of Ryzen 9 7900 and Ryzen 7 7700 processor models is taken for granted, but we will see what policy AMD will apply after the failure of sales of the X models presented so far. Such a situation could force the company to have to sell cheaper non-X models to get them out there and not overlap with the high-performance ones.

As we said before, Lenovo has confirmed some features of the two non-X series Ryzen 7000 models through a leak. The Ryzen 9 7900 confirmed the existence of 12 physical cores and 24 threads, while the same happened with the Ryzen 7700 with 8 physical cores and 16 threads.. However, it was originally expected that base frequency beyond 3.8GHz, and now Lenovo lists 3.6GHzwhich would have been 200MHz before it was rumored a week and a half ago.

Except for non-X Ryzen 7000 models, AMD would also be preparing models with 3D V-Cache, which should be released in early 2023 and could be presented together with non-X models at CES 2023, which will be held shortly after the beginning of the year in the American city of Las Vegas. Ryzen 7000 models with 3D V-Cache will feature a stacked L3 cache, a feature that has its benefits, but comes at the cost of being a bit more difficult to wipe.

Now assumed properties AMD Ryzen 9 7900 They have twelve physical cores, twenty-four threads, 12 MB of level 2 cache, 64 MB of level 3 cache, a base frequency of 3.6 GHz and a maximum operating speed of 5.4 GHz. It is speculated that its reference price for the US market would be 429 dollarswhich would be about 120 less than the non-X model.

For his part, he AMD Ryzen 7 7700 it should have eight physical cores, sixteen threads, 8 MB L2 cache, 32 MB L3 cache, a base clock of 3.6 GHz and a maximum frequency of 5.3 GHz. The reference price for the United States would be 329 dollarswhich would be 70 less than its X counterpart.

The non-X Ryzen 7000 models aim to be a better choice in terms of performance-price ratio, and even with them they will be very suitable for the vast majority of users, especially if there is no problem for many years. so much in the power of the hardware and also in the fact that the software doesn’t take advantage of it.
