We review the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Zen 4 CPU and put it through its paces and benchmarked synthetic and gaming scenarios at various resolutions. The CPU was a strong performer in our synthetic and gaming benchmarks, providing a big uplift from the previous generation. At times, the 13600K did outperform it in the same price range in select scenarios, especially in gaming. Its efficiency is second to none, it gives a lot but doesn't ask for a lot in power utilization, staying close to the previous generation. It's loaded with features, and overall its value is great if perhaps a slightly higher MSRP than we feel it should be.
