AMD’s new Ryzen 9 7900 processor features up to 31% better gaming performance than the Ryzen 9 5900X in select titles that include DOTA 2, according to first-party benchmarks from AMD that have leaked online and suggest that the CPU also features up to 48% better performance in certain rendering software (i.e., Corona Render) for creators.
The leak originates from VideoCardz, which coupled the benchmarks above with a separate slide that can confirm the launch date and pricing for AMD’s new non-X Ryzen 7000 Series processors.
The Ryzen 9 7900 will cost $429, while the Ryzen 7 7700 and Ryzen 5 7600 will cost $329 and $229, respectively.
All of these CPUs will be available beginning on Tuesday, January 10, which is just two weeks away.
