Ryzen 7 7700X shows up on Geekbench & CPU-Z, boosts up to 5.425GHz

We've already caught a glimpse of what the Ryzen 5 7600X and the Ryzen 9 7950X will be capable of, but we have yet to see the Ryzen 7 7700X in action. Fortunately for us, someone has been testing the unreleased AMD CPU in Geekbench and CPU-Z, with the results appearing online in their respective databases.

The CPU-Z entry spotted by @harukaze5719 has since been taken down, but thankfully we have Wayback Machine for these situations. According to the entry, the Ryzen CPU was running on a Gigabyte X670E Aorus Master with 64GB of DDR5-6400 memory from Klevv with 30-38-38-52-127 timings. We can also see the processor reached a clock frequency of 5,425MHz, 25MHz more than its official boost clock speed.

Scoring 774 points for the single-core benchmark, the Ryzen 7 chip is fractionally slower than your average Core i7-12700K/KF chip in the CPU-Z benchmark.. However, in the multi-threaded test, the AMD CPU was faster than the 12th Gen Core i7 K chips, beating them by about 7.5%. Compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X, the Ryzen 7000 series CPU was 21% faster in the single-core test and 28% faster in multi-core.

@Benchleaks also found a Geekbench entry where we see the same Ryzen chip, but this time paired with an Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Hero with 64GB of DDR5-6000 memory. Here, the CPU achieved a 2,209 single-core score and a 14,459 multi-core score. In this case, the Ryzen chip is faster than the 12700K in both cases, but the difference is just 2% for the multi-core benchmark. As for the single-core results, the difference increases to 16%.

AMD will release the Ryzen 7 7700X and the rest of the Ryzen 7000 series CPUs on September 27th.

KitGuru says: As always, take these early benchmarks with a pinch of salt, but it will be fascinating to see how the land lies once both Ryzen 7000 and Intel 13th Gen are out in the wild.
