AMD’s first Ryzen 7000X3D gaming processors arrive on February 28th
AMD’s Ryzen 7000X3D gaming-focused processors finally have a release date – or rather, two release dates. The Ryzen 9 7900X3D and 7950X3D will debut on February 28th, with the 7800X3D arriving on April 6th.
AMD announced prices for its new CPUs too, with the eight-core 7800X3D at $449, the 12-core 7900X3D at $599 and the 16-core 7950X3D at $699. For context, the original eight, 12 and 16-core Ryzen 7000 models have MSRPs of $399, $549 and $699, respectively, so this is at most a $50 premium in terms of MSRP – although of course retail prices have dropped significantly since the original Ryzen 7000 models debuted in September last year.
All three X3D CPUs have been hotly anticipated since they were announced just after the new year, as they combine the new features of AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series – an efficient 5nm process, more powerful socket and generally excellent performance – with the 3D V-Cache design that made the rather ordinary 5800X into the ridiculously powerful Ryzen 5800X3D. By tripling the chip’s L3 cache, the 5800X3D was able to compete with Ryzen 7000 and Intel’s 12th and 13th-gen designs in many games – despite being bound to older DDR4 memory and the venerable AM4 socket. That makes an X3D version of Ryzen 7000 quite a tantalising prospect for extreme gaming performance.
With AMD’s 65W non-X CPUs having arrived in early January, their Ryzen 7000 lineup has expanded rapidly – which should ensure that there’s a good pick available for most people. The 65W CPUs essentially offer nigh-identical performance at a lower price, based on our testing of the Ryzen 5 7600, so they’re the best choice for budget-oriented builds. Meanwhile, these new X3D options should offer the best gaming performance from the lineup. That leaves the original launch models in a more diminished role, basically offering slightly better performance at a higher power target than the non-X versions, but they might still be a good fit for content creation workloads – especially as some X models have dropped lower in price than their non-X counterparts as retailers seek to clear out older stock.
You can refer to the spec table below to see how the full Ryzen 7000 lineup compares. Note that UK prices weren’t included in the press release we received, but we’re following up with AMD about this and will add this information if we get it.
| CPU design | Boost | Base | L3 cache | TDP | RRP | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 9 7950X3D | Zen 4 16C/32T | 5.7GHz | 4.2GHz | 128MB | 120W | $699 |
| Ryzen 9 7950X | Zen 4 16C/32T | 5.7GHz | 4.5GHz | 64MB | 170W | $699/£739 |
| Ryzen 9 7900X3D | Zen 4 12C/24T | 5.6GHz | 4.4GHz | 128MB | 120W | $599 |
| Ryzen 9 7900X | Zen 4 12C/24T | 5.6GHz | 4.7GHz | 64MB | 170W | $549/£579 |
| Ryzen 9 7900 | Zen 4 12C/24T | 5.4GHz | 3.7GHz | 64MB | 65W | $429/£519 |
| Ryzen 7 7800X3D | Zen 4 8C/16T | 5.0GHz | 4.2GHz | 96MB | 120W | $449 |
| Ryzen 7 7700X | Zen 4 8C/16T | 5.4GHz | 4.5GHz | 32MB | 105W | $399/£419 |
| Ryzen 7 7700 | Zen 4 8C/16T | 5.3GHz | 3.8GHz | 32MB | 65W | $329/£349 |
| Ryzen 5 7600X | Zen 4 6C/12T | 5.3GHz | 4.7GHz | 32MB | 105W | $299/£319 |
| Ryzen 5 7600 | Zen 4 6C/12T | 5.1GHz | 3.8GHz | 32MB | 65W | $229/£249 |
While performance on the AMD side is excellent from this generation, sales are reportedly slow due to the shift to the new AM5 socket, which requires both DDR5 RAM and a new X670/670E or B650/650E motherboard. These remain expensive, making the likes of the last-gen 5800X3D a good value as it can be paired with cheap, readily available DDR4 RAM and AM4 motherboards and provides a significant uplift over earlier Ryzen designs.
Still, the new socket and faster RAM should also push these new X3D chips well beyond what the 5800X3D is capable of, and could even help AMD reclaim the gaming crown from Intel’s 13900K – so it’ll be fascinating to see how performant they turn out to be. We’ll of course aim to test these new CPUs ourselves, so stay tuned for our coverage around launch time!

AMD Revealed 31 Vulnerabilities Within Its Processor Lines, Ryzen & EPYC CPUs Included
AMD revealed in the most recent January update that thirty-one new vulnerabilities were found in its processors, covering Ryzen and EPYC CPUs.
AMD hit with 31 new vulnerabilities to start 2023, affecting Ryzen & EPYC CPU lines
The company has created numerous mitigations to alleviate the exposed processors and has also disclosed a report from the company in cooperation with teams from three top companies — Apple, Google, and Oracle. The company also announced several AGESA variants listed in the update (AGESA code is found when building the system’s BIOS and UEFI code).
Due to the vulnerability’s nature, the AGESA changes have been delivered to OEMs, and any patching will depend on each vendor to release it as soon as possible. It would be wise for consumers to visit the vendor’s official website to find out if there is a new update waiting for download rather than waiting for the company to roll it out later.
AMD Processors vulnerable to this new attack include Ryzen models for desktops, HEDT, Pro, and mobile CPU series. There is a single vulnerability labeled as “high severity,” while two others are less extreme but still important to patch. All exposures are attacked through the BIOS and ASP bootloader (also known as the AMD Secure Processor bootloader).
AMD CPU series that are vulnerable are:
- Ryzen 2000 (Pinnacle Ridge) series processors
- Ryzen 2000 APUs
- Ryzen 5000 APUs
- AMD Threadripper 2000 HEDT and Pro server processor series
- AMD Threadripper 3000 HEDT and Pro server processor series
- Ryzen 2000 series mobile processors
- Ryzen 3000 series mobile processors
- Ryzen 5000 series mobile processors
- Ryzen 6000 series mobile processors
- Athlon 3000 series mobile processors
Twenty-eight AMD vulnerabilities have been discovered affecting EPYC processors, with four models labeled with a “high severity” by the company. The three of high severity can have arbitrary code that can be executed through attack vectors in numerous areas. Also, one of the three listed has an additional exploit that permits writing data to specific sections leading to data loss. Other research teams found another fifteen vulnerabilities with lower severity and nine with minor severity.
Because of the large number of affected processors exploited, the company chose to disclose this recent vulnerability list that would typically be published in May and November each year and make sure that mitigations were prepared for release. Other vulnerabilities within AMD products include a variant of Hertzbleed, another that acts similarly to the Meltdown exploit, and one called “Take A Way.”
| CVE | Severity | CVE Description |
| CVE‑2021‑26316 | High | Failure to validate the communication buffer and communication service in the BIOS may allow an attacker to tamper with the buffer resulting in potential SMM (System Management Mode) arbitrary code execution. |
| CVE‑2021‑26346 | Medium | Failure to validate the integer operand in ASP (AMD Secure Processor) bootloader may allow an attacker to introduce an integer overflow in the L2 directory table in SPI flash resulting in a potential denial of service. |
| CVE‑2021‑46795 | Low | A TOCTOU (time-of-check to time-of-use) vulnerability exists where an attacker may use a compromised BIOS to cause the TEE OS to read memory out of bounds that could potentially result in a denial of service. |

AMD Ryzen 7000 non-X series to launch January 10th, Ryzen 9 7900 faster than 5900X
AMD Ryzen 7000 non-X series now have a release date
Slides confirm the price and release date of the upcoming Ryzen 7000 CPUs.
As mentioned before, AMD is launching its new Ryzen CPUs for its AM5 socket next month. The company is preparing three models: 12-core Ryzen 9 7900, 8-core Ryzen 7 7700 and 6-core Ryzen 5 7600, all based on Zen4 architecture. The series feature the same core count as their X-variants, but they have much lower default TDP of 65W.
AMD Ryzen 7000 non-X Pricing and Release Date, Source: VideoCardz
According to the slide, all three CPUs launch on January 10th at $429, $329 and $329 price point respectively. Given the recent price cuts introduced to the 7000X models, this pricing does not look particularly great, though. For just $20 more one can find the ‘unlocked’ 7900X or 7700X models. Should AMD stick to this pricing at launch, the faster 6-core 7600X will cost just $10 more.

Ryzen 9 7900, Ryzen 7 7700, Ryzen 5 7600 For AM5
The final specifications and prices of AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 7000 Non-X CPU lineup for the AM5 platform have leaked out.
AMD Ryzen 7000 Non-X CPU Family Leak: Ryzen 9 7900 For $429, Ryzen 7 7700 For $329, Ryzen 5 7600 For $229
The AMD Ryzen 7000 Non-X CPU lineup is no mystery, we have seen specifications and prices of these processors leak out in previous leaks but the latest slide deck that comes from Videocardz not only confirms those but also the chips these Zen 4 parts will be competing against. As always, the trio of CPUs will be using the 5nm Zen 4 core architecture and will be a slight alteration of the existing Zen 4 SKUs.
What makes this leak so interesting is the fact that AMD is already listing unreleased Intel 13th, Gen Non-K CPUs, against their Non-X chips. The Intel lineup is scheduled for launch on 3rd January.
AMD Ryzen 9 7900 – 12 Zen 4 Cores For Just $429 US
The AMD Ryzen 9 7900 will feature 12 cores, 24 threads, and 76 MB of cache (64 MB L3 + 12 MB L3) and will feature a maximum clock speed of up to 5.4 GHz. The CPU will retail at $429 US which is a difference of $120 US versus the Ryzen 9 7900X. While the base clock remains to be seen, the boost clock sees a 200 MHz reduction but given the price point, this 12-core chip looks incredible & I can already see a lot of users upgrading to this sub-$500 US 12-Core Zen 4 chip. AMD will position the chip against the Intel Core i9-13900 & Core i9-12900 CPUs.
AMD Ryzen 7 7700 – 8 Core Gaming Champ Under $350 US
Next up, we have the Ryzen 7 7700 which will feature 8 cores, 16 threads 40 MB of cache (32 MB L3 + 8 MB L3), and will feature a maximum clock speed of up to 5.3 GHz. The CPU will retail for $329 US which is a difference of $70 US versus the Ryzen 7 7700X which retails at $399 US. The Ryzen 7 7700 seems to be clocked just 100 MHz lower than the Ryzen 7 7700X which is impressive given its 65W power budget. The final TDP should fall around 90-100W given the 1.375x multiplier for the PPT. The Ryzen 7 7700 will be positioned against the Core i7-13700 and Core i7-12700.
AMD Ryzen 5 7600 – Making AM5 Affordable For Entry-Level Builders
Lastly, we have the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 which will feature 6 cores, 12 threads, 38 MB of cache (32 MB L3 + 6 MB L2) and will feature a maximum clock speed of up to 5.1 GHz. The CPU will hit retail at $229 US which is also $70 US lower than the Ryzen 5 7600X which retails at $299 US. The boost clock is 200 MHz lower than the ‘X’ chip. The Ryzen 5 7600 will be positioned against the Core i5-13600 & Core i5-12600 CPUs.
Based on the above:
- Ryzen 9 7900 12 Core- $120 US cheaper vs 7900X
- Ryzen 7 7700 8 Core- $70 US cheaper vs 7700X
- Ryzen 5 7600 6 Core – $70 US cheaper vs 7600X
One thing that AMD is marketing with these chips is that they will be bundled with either a Wraith Prism (Ryzen 9 7900 / Ryzen 7 7700) or a Wraith Stealth (Ryzen 5 7600) CPU cooler. Now Intel will also bundle its Non-K 13th Gen CPUs with its brand new Laminar series coolers based on the TDP spec so both chipmakers will have a small value added for mainstream users but we still suggest that users get aftermarket cooling options if they have the budget to get the most out of the CPU.
Overall, the chips sound like they will offer the best performance per dollar value on the AM5 platform and we will also be looking at cheaper A620 motherboards by the mid of 2023. AMD Ryzen 7000X3D 3D V-Cache CPUs will also be headed to CES 2023 for a full unveil. The Non-X processors will be headed for retail shelves on the 10th of January.
