AMD Ryzen 7 7700X

ZEN4 is the future, make no mistake about it. We have fast CPUs from AMD scaling quite well, even in single-core performance. Suppose we ignore the thermal thing and take the manufacturer’s word for it. In that case, this platform is your future-proof investment, particularly from the next generation of CPUs that will likely be compatible with the new sockets for the next 5 years. Overall, Ryzen 7 7700X rises and shines. It is almost a well-balanced processor out there for gaming & gaming or the heavy workload. The only thing AMD may need is to re-evaluate the pricing of the new platform coupled with DDR5 memory, and they are good to go.

AMD's Zen 4-based Ryzen 7 7700X is a no-doubt-speedy CPU, but it's outshined by Intel's 12th Gen Core i7-12700K. It needs a price cut to stand out, especially with a 16-core "Raptor Lake" Core i7 coming.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is a mid-range processor that offers up a lot of gaming power, even if it does lose out to the AMD Ryzen 9 9700X and Intel Core i9-13900K when it comes to multi-core performance.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is hands down the best processor on the market for most people, especially if you're looking for phenomenal overall performance for the long term and at a great price. Just be prepared to spend more than the intial sticker price for the upgrade.
