    Great CPU for Gaming

    Overall, very satisfied with this CPU. Recently built a new gaming-focused computer with this CPU in it. The only other CPU I have on hand to compare to was the previous generation Ryzen 9 5900X, not quite a perfect comparison but an interesting one nonetheless. In Cinebench the 7700X saw a 6% lower score than the 5900X, not bad for having 4 fewer cores. However, the 7700X saw a 27% higher score over the 5900X in the single-core GeekBench 5 benchmark and even a 7% higher score in the multi-core GeekBench 5 benchmark. This CPU is right on the edge of being comparable to the 5900X in places where 8 cores will do you fine. For gaming, it’s perfect for me. I highly recommend for those who want a high end gaming CPU and even those who do light rendering work.

    I originally wanted to hold out for the 3D cache versions of these chips but honestly I don't regret just sticking with this. As far as gaming goes, it's a little better than the 5800x3D and maybe 15% worse in framerate than the 7800x3D, but really not much different for any other tasks. If gaming is your primary goal, get the 7800x3D. Despite only being 8 cores, this thing still rips through code compilation and other development tasks, as well as audio production. Pair this up with a set of RAM that can XMP up to or past 6ghz and your system will fly. Like many others, I chose to undervolt the CPU and managed to get a -25 PBO curve while limiting the wattage to about 110,000. That with my 360mm all in one cooler my system is pretty cool, quiet, and very fast.

    Really great cpu. It works as good or better than my 7800x3d pc build. This cpu is a power house and would use it again.

    This processor is a power house and will consistently run at 5.5ghz under load. Temps have been a bit higher then previous series, but are very quick to drop down to what you’d expect in idle. Make sure bios is updated with the mobo you pick but amazing performance overall.

    [Employee of bestbuy] I've been using this CPU for nearly a year at this point and its a wonderful little beast. Coming from an intel i7-11700k, overall she performs better and runs a bit cooler than my old CPU whenever I'm doing anything whether that's productivity or gaming. Highly recommend it at either its full price or on sale.

    This processor is the best bang for your buck. Man handles Battlefield 6 if that is of any concern. I've been running it for over a month on my new PC build, got everything from bestbuy in store and it is actually a beast.
