AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D Leaks: 8 Cores, 96 MB Cache, Under $350

AMD is reportedly preparing a new Ryzen 7 7700X3D processor. The chip would sit below the existing Ryzen 7 7800X3D in the lineup. It retains all eight cores and the full 96 MB of 3D V-Cache, according to a leak from Twitter user chi11eddog.

Leaked specs and pricing details

The Ryzen 7 7700X3D is expected to feature 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture. The base clock is listed at 4.0 GHz with a boost clock of 4.5 GHz. The L3 cache totals 96 MB, and the thermal design power is estimated between 105 and 120 watts.

Specifications

• Cores/Threads: 8/16
• Base Clock: 4.0 GHz
• Boost Clock: 4.5 GHz
• L3 Cache: 96 MB
• TDP: 105-120W (expected)

The rumored price for the CPU is between $299 and $349 USD. That would make it more affordable than the 7800X3D, which launched at a higher price point.

According to WCCFTech, the 7700X3D is expected to deliver a nominal 5% performance hit compared to the 7800X3D. The lower clock speeds likely account for the reduction. The chip appears aimed at gamers who want 3D V-Cache benefits at a lower cost.

AMD has not officially confirmed the Ryzen 7 7700X3D. The specifications and pricing are based on a leak from chi11eddog. The exact TDP and final price remain unconfirmed.
