Today AMD officially updates its desktop lineup with three new processors, all with the same default TDP of 65W. Ryzen 7000 product stack is to be updated with three models, each offered with an AMD cooling solution (Wrath Prism or Wrath Stealth depending on the model).

The fastest 65W CPU is Ryzen 9 7900, a 12-core model with boost clock up to 5.4 GHz. This CPU is to retail at $429 or €479. Additionally, AMD is launching an 8-core Ryzen 7 7700 with 8 cores and boost up to 5.3 GHz. This processor is to cost $329 in US or €369 in EU. The slowest part is 6-core Ryzen 5 7600 which is to retail at $229 or €259.

In case you are wondering about Ryzen 7000 non-X performance, we have a long list of independent reviews listed here. Overall, the new series perform very close to their higher TDP counterparts and provide an opportunity to save a few bucks, for instance, for any of the AM5 motherboards which are still quite expensive.


 
The 65W SKUs will be offered alongside 105W/170W and upcoming 120W models. AMD is to launch Ryzen 7000X3D series next month, but the company has not provided any details on pricing yet.
