AMD Ryzen 7 7700 Desktop Processor – 8 Cores, 16 Threads, AM5, 65W
The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is an 8-core, 16-thread desktop processor for AM5 motherboards, built for gaming, content creation and busy work PCs. It boosts up to 5.3GHz on a 65W default TDP and AMD lists a Wraith Prism cooler for the boxed version, so most builds need no separate CPU cooler.
Key features
- 8 Zen 4 cores, 16 threads: plenty of headroom for gaming, multitasking and creative apps that use many threads.
- Up to 5.3GHz boost, 3.8GHz base: fast single-core speed keeps games and everyday apps responsive.
- 65W default TDP with AMD Wraith Prism cooler: a modest power rating that is easy to cool, with a cooler in the box so you don't need to buy one separately.
- AM5 platform with DDR5 and PCIe 5.0: supports up to 128GB of dual-channel DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 graphics cards and storage.
- Built-in AMD Radeon Graphics: run a display straight from the motherboard while you choose or wait for a graphics card.
