AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D vs Ryzen 7 7800X3D faceoff — seeing double with Zen 4 X3D
AMD's Ryzen 7 7700X3D takes on the old favorite across performance, pricing, and power consumption.
AMD recently expanded its X3D lineup with the Ryzen 7 7700X3D, a more affordable option that slots in below the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Priced at $329, it is essentially built from the same silicon as the 7800X3D but with lower clocks and a lower price tag. The 7800X3D, launched in April 2023 at $449 (now $360), has held its reputation as one of the best gaming CPUs for over three years.
With the 7700X3D now available, AM5 builders have a cheaper way into the X3D club. To evaluate the performance difference between the two chips, we compared their gaming performance, application performance, power consumption, and other features. Both the Ryzen 7 7700X3D and the Ryzen 7 7800X3D share the same core count, cache pool, socket, memory support, and TDP, with the only significant difference being the 500 MHz lower boost clock on the 7700X3D.
In gaming benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D outperformed the Ryzen 7 7700X3D by 4.3% in average FPS and 5% in 1% low FPS, indicating a modest lead for the more expensive chip. Both CPUs outperformed other options in the 16-game test suite.
