About the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X is a 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q3 2024 with a suggested retail price of $359. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 7 lineup, which is based on the Zen 5 microarchitecture. The 9700X is compatible with AMD Socket AM5 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 4 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon Graphics integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 7 9700X supports DDR5 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 9700X has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 80 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 32 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 7 9700X features 8 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.8 GHz, and it can boost up to 5.5 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 7 9700X includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon Graphics. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Ryzen 7 9700X has the 11th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 83.15% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 30,757 score and $359 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 85.67. This is the 14th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H CPU

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600H is a 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The 5600H is compatible with Socket FP6 motherboards and is fabricated on a 7 nm manufacturing process. It features the AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 5600H has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 384 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions.
