AMD has officially launched the “non-X” line of its Ryzen 7000 processors. These first models have a TDP of 65 watts and are less powerful, although they retain the same number of cores and level 2 and 3 cache. Despite the reduction in consumption, these are products that on paper should offer more power, which for the vast majority of contexts, even more so if we start delving into the wrong direction the software development industry has taken in recent years.

AMD has made the three “non-X” Ryzen 7000 models available, which they are Ryzen 9 7900 with twelve physical cores and a price and reference price for Spain of 510 euros, Ryzen 7 7700 with eight physical cores and a price 390 eurosAddition Ryzen 5 7600 with six cores and a price 270 euros. With prices, you already know that once you start looking at the retail market, you can’t be trusted, so it’s important to know the reference prices.

After digging a bit into some aspects, we posted it yesterday The Ryzen 5 7600 is only 5.1% lower in performance than its X counterpart, so that the savings it predicts on an economic level will make up for many users. However, this model showed temperature issues, reaching 97 degrees when playing video games with the cooler. in stock. This factor means that the competitive advantage is reduced by the fact that the buyer is practically forced to buy a different chiller or a higher quality cooling system.

It seems that the last generation of hardware has not been particularly dazzling, with temperatures in several cases above what is bearable in a standard home environment, devices that are too large, immature or accompanied by mediocre software. No one is safe here, and it’s likely that AMD has shot itself in the foot again with the cooler included in the Ryzen 5 7600 package.

Temperatures and dissipation aside, at least in the case of the Ryzen 7600, the “non-X” models of the Ryzen 7000 are products that, as we’ve already said, they offer more than enough performance for the vast majority of contexts. We will leave you with the basic specifications of the products and a table for a clearer display of the technical data.
