Rendering Performance
We will now take a look at how rendering performance compares.
Cinebench R23
Cinebench R23 multi-core testing is going to be all about the core and thread count, so the higher core/threaded CPUs get the cookie here. However, we still see the Ryzen 7 7700X perform very well over the Ryzen 7 5800X, despite them both having the same core and thread count. The Ryzen 7 7700X is 29% faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X, so that is very good considering they are both 8-core CPUs. The Intel Core i5-13600K is faster than the 7700X though, by 22%. The Ryzen 7 7700X has a 31% uplift over the 7600X.
In single-core performance, the Ryzen 7 7700X is pretty high up the charts. It’s 25% faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X and slightly faster than the Intel Core i5-13600K. It is also a bit faster than the 7600X for single-core performance.
Blender Open Data Benchmark
Take note, the Blender Open Data Benchmark has changed, it now runs 3 scenes and spits out a “Samples per Minute” number, where higher samples are better.
Blender is another rendering application that will benefit from a higher core/thread count. That said, the Ryzen 7 7700X is 32% faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X, despite having the same core count. The performance uplift versus the 7600X is also 32% because it matched the 5800X. We do find the Intel Core i5-13600K faster, however, by 13% due to the higher thread count.
In junkshop, the Ryzen 7 7700X is 27% faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X and provides 31% more performance than the 7600X. The Intel Core i5-13600K is faster again, by 14%.
In classroom the Ryzen 7 7700X is 33% faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X and about the same compared to the 7600X. The Intel Core i5-13600K is 12% faster.
V-RAY 5 Benchmark
In V-RAY 5 the battle of the cores and threads wins again, but we still see the Ryzen 7 7700X perform much faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X despite both having the same core/thread count. The Ryzen 7 7700X is 30% faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X. Compared to the 7600X the 7700X offers a 31% performance improvement. The Intel Core i5-13600K is faster than the 7700X by 8%.
HandBrake
In HandBrake we are testing video transcoding/encoding performance. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X does a fantastic job at improving encoding/transcoding video performance compared to the Ryzen 5000 series CPUs. The Ryzen 7 7700X is actually faster than the Ryzen 9 5950X! This is raw CPU performance as well, with no GPU assistance. The Ryzen 7 7700X is 26% faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X for video encoding performance. The Ryzen 7 7700X improves upon the 7600X by 21%. The Intel Core i5-13600K does outperform the Ryzen 7 7700X though by 15%.

As you mentioned about the price, I'm putting this here just in case anyone is interested. $348.99

Rumor is the prices will go back up after the holidays, to normal. BUT, there's a rumor AMD may officially lower the price in Q1 next year, but it is all unconfirmed and really we don't know. So, I tried to leave that a little open ended, just because I really don't know what is going to happen. Right now, the MSRP is still $399, and right now what you are seeing is a temporary reduction, a sale price, for the holidays. It could go back up afterward. OR, AMD could keep the lower pricing permanent. /shrug
I'm enjoying my 7700x
D*MN AMD, giving great CPUs at great prices...
Even more impressive is that the 7600X is also faster than any Ryzen 5000 CPU in single core performance and on par with the 7700X.
