We are very impressed with the Ryzen 7000 series’ significant generational leap above both its competitor, Intel, and its predecessor. This is never more evident than with the Ryzen 7 7700X, a reasonably priced midrange processor designed for more demanding gaming and content creation tasks that comfortably surpass the top chips from the previous generation.
There are better processors out there if content creation is your top goal, even while its content creation skills are respectable and it still trails the Intel Core i5-12600K in many jobs. However, if you’re seeking to play games, this is without a doubt the best gaming processor we’ve ever tested, with excellent overall productivity scores and overall performance.
