The 7700X launches in the same market segment as the i7-12700K, when it goes on sale this September 27. This is a surprising result, as it puts the single-threaded performance of the 7700X at about 16% higher than the Core i7-12700K, and a fascinating 2% higher than the 8P+4E 'Alder Lake' chip in multi-threaded tests. Here, the processor scored 2209 points in the single-threaded test, and 14459 points in the multi-threaded one, in Geekbench 5.4.5.

In separate news, BenchLeaks spotted a Geekbench run of the Ryzen 7 7700X (by a different user) on an ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Hero and DDR5-6000 memory. This particular bench run was performed on a Gigabyte X670E AORUS Master motherboard, with DDR5-6400 C元0 memory. The single-threaded performance is around 20% higher than that of the previous-gen flagship Ryzen 9 5950X, and about 1% faster than the Core i9-12900K ('Golden Cove' P-core). The submission includes a CPU-Z Bench run for the processor, which puts the single-threaded performance at 774 points, and the multi-threaded performance of the 8-core/16-thread processor at 8381 points. A user named 'orangezone' submitted a CPU-Z validation for an alleged retail AMD Ryzen 7 7700X processor, revealing its key specs that include 5.425 GHz clocks at 1.152 V core-voltage.
