AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D has been added to CPU-Z ahead of launch

The buzz around the upcoming Ryzen 7 7700X3D is ramping up, suggesting the launch is imminent. CPUID recently released CPU-Z version 2.20.1, and the changelog includes the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D, listed under the Raphael codename. This is the same platform codename as the rest of AMD's Ryzen 7000 desktop family.

It is worth noting that CPUID does not typically add processors to CPU-Z's detection database unless a launch is right around the corner. The same update also added support for a wide range of other processors, including the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition (Granite Ridge), several new Ryzen AI Max+ and Ryzen AI Max SKUs under the Gorgon Halo codename, a number of new PRO-tier Granite Ridge chips, Intel's new Wildcat Lake and Bartlett Lake families, and new Intel Arc Pro graphics solutions.

According to earlier leaks that have since been corroborated by multiple sources, the Ryzen 7 7700X3D will pack 8 cores and 16 threads on the Zen 4 architecture, with a total of 96MB of L3 cache. That breaks down to 32MB of native L3 on the CCD with an additional 64MB stacked on top via 3D V-Cache technology, which is identical to the 7800X3D's cache configuration.

The main differences are in the clock speeds: the 7700X3D is reportedly clocked at 4.0 GHz base and 4.5 GHz boost, compared to the 7800X3D's 5.0 GHz peak boost. The TDP is listed at 120W. As for where it fits in the lineup, the Ryzen 7 7700X3D would slot in as the seventh member of the Ryzen 7000 X3D family, sitting directly below the 7800X3D.

It is essentially AMD doing what it did with the Ryzen 7 5700X3D on AM4: offering the same 3D V-Cache technology at a more accessible price point. Pricing speculation points to around $300, which would represent solid value against the 7800X3D's current street price of roughly $365.

AMD has not announced an official launch date yet, but with CPU-Z support already live, an official reveal could come sooner than expected.
