With Computex starting up, AMD has already made its big announcements for the event. That includes a new CPU, an X3D one in fact, the Ryzen 7 7700X3D. So, once again, AMD is releasing hardware for older generations, long after new ones come out. With the 5800X3D rereleasing, not long after the 9950X3D2, it is, in fact, covering all of its markets with new processors.

The new processor will be the 6th X3D processor in the generation, filling that gap of more cores but clocked down. The others are the 7500X3D, 7600X3D, 7800X3D, 7900X3D, and 7950X3D. Plus, giving a choice of more upgrade options if you’re already on the lower AM5 side of things and want an X3D CPU.

Ryzen 7 7700X3D release date

The new CPU is coming in just over a month’s time, on July 16th. A few years after the mainstream range of processors came out, following the drip-feeding of new options. As the 7500X3D came out at the end of last year, this one adds a bit more power behind it and a lot more announcements and availability to it.

Ryzen 7 7700X3D price

AMD has announced the suggested price of the 7700X3D is to be $329. That puts it just above the 7600X3D MSRP, which was $299, and well below the 7800X3D’s $449. So it does make it a more appealing choice in comparison to some of the other X3D options and can save you a bit to put towards RAM and storage in these trying times.

Ryzen 7 7700X3D specs

The Ryzen 7 spec of the processor gives it 8 cores and 16 threads, with a lower 4GHz base clock and yet a lower boost than the others at just 4.5GHz. But in turn, it does have a greater cache of 104MB, increasing it over the others and matching the power requirement of the 7800X3D. That should provide the market with a powerful entry-level processor.
