AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X provides a very capable base for current computer systems. You can feel the progress that AMD has made with the underlying Granite Ridge (Zen 5) architecture. This was also manufactured using a modern 4 nm process, which speaks to good efficiency. The processor delivers remarkable performance.

This applies to single-core tasks as well as multitasking. In the well-known Cinebench 2024, the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X achieved 134 points in the single-core measurement. When using multiple cores, it was also very convincing with 1255 points. Users who value future-proof connectivity appreciate the support for PCIe 5.0.

This is a real plus. This allows you to easily use the latest and fastest components. The generous cache sizes also contribute to smooth operation. It brings 8 MB in Level 2 and a full 32 MB in Level 3. We think this processor is an excellent choice for many demanding applications.
  • Based on the modern Granite Ridge (Zen 5) architecture
  • High performance in single and multi-core applications
  • Comprehensive support for PCIe 5.0
