Highlights
AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors

AMD Ryzen 7000 high-performance processors:
· AMD's fastest desktop CPUs, 31% faster than Ryzen 5000 series
· Superior Windows 10 performance vs Intel
· Top thermal efficiency: highest performance per watt, quieter cooling
· Top gaming performance with "X3D" CPU models

Stratosphere Express R6 now features AMD's fastest desktop CPUs, AMD Ryzen 7000 series, with performance gains of 31% or more over AMD's popular Ryzen 5000 series.

Powered by AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs, Stratosphere Express R6 offers similar price/performance to our Stratosphere Express systems powered by Intel's 14th Gen Core CPUs.

Compared to Intel 14th Gen Core CPUs, AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs offer higher thermal efficiency, demanding less power and generating less heat to deliver their peak performance. For example, the Ryzen 7 7700X CPU consumes up to 142W power, which is 77W less than Intel Core i7-14700 CPU demands for similar performance. The lower power consumption results in quieter cooling when using the same CPU cooler and also lowers power bills.

AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs are fast in both Windows 11 or Windows 10, with little difference in performance. We recommend AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs over Intel CPUs when running Windows 10, because Intel's hybrid CPU architecture and Intel Thread Director feature require Windows 11 support for best multitasking performance.

Stratosphere Express R6 offers a choice of four AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs designed for top productivity performance:

  • AMD Ryzen 5 7600X with 6 cores / 12 threads, 4.7 - 5.3GHz
  • AMD Ryzen 7 7700X with 8 cores / 16 threads, 4.5 - 5.4GHz
  • AMD Ryzen 9 7900X with 12 cores / 24 threads, 4.7 - 5.6GHz
  • AMD Ryzen 9 7950X with 16 cores / 32 threads, 4.5 - 5.7GHz

Benchmark performance tests confirm that multithreaded performance scales up in proportion to the number of CPU cores:

The test above shows maximum performance when each CPU core is fully engaged. The magnitude of real-world performance differences will vary depending on workload, due to some software processes (single-threaded operations) not taking advantage of more than one CPU core. In general, CPUs with a higher number of CPU cores are less likely to get bogged down by competing software processes.

AMD Ryzen 8000G CPUs: affordable high performance

New AMD Ryzen 8000G CPUs started shipping in February 2024 and offer important advantages:

  • Industry-best efficiency, with only 65W - 88W power consumption
  • Integrated AMD CPU cooler, saving $99 for an aftermarket cooler upgrade
  • Lowest total cost (with CPU cooler) for Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 CPU
  • Industry-fastest integrated graphics: AMD Radeon 740M graphics

Stratosphere Express R6 offers a choice of three AMD Ryzen 8000G CPUs:

  • AMD Ryzen 5 8500G with 6 cores / 12 threads, 3.5 - 5.0 GHz
  • AMD Ryzen 5 8600G with 6 cores / 12 threads, 4.3 - 5.0 GHz
  • AMD Ryzen 7 8700G with 8 cores / 16 threads, 4.2 - 5.1 GHz

Benchmark performance tests confirm that multithreaded performance scales up in proportion to the number of CPU cores and base clock speed, with Ryzen 7 8700G ($199 upgrade) offering up to 48% faster performance than the base-level Ryzen 5 8500G:

AMD Ryzen 7000 X3D CPUs for top gaming performance

AMD Ryzen 7000 series CPU performance: PassMark CPU Mark benchmark test

Standard AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs deliver very good performance for a mix of productivity and gaming use. For the very best gaming performance, at some expense to productivity performance, choose one AMD's X3D models. The X3D models feature AMD 3D V-Cache Technology and deliver the very best gaming performance, exceeding both standard Ryzen 7000 CPUs and also Intel desktop processors.

AMD offers three X3D-enhanced Ryzen 7000 CPU options:

AMD Ryzen 7000 X3D CPUs
  • AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D with 8 cores / 16 threads, 4.2 - 5.0GHz
  • AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D with 12 cores / 24 threads, 4.4 - 5.6GHz
  • AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D with 16 cores / 32 threads, 4.2 - 5.7GHz

These models command a price premium over standard models and should be chosen only if you prioritize the very fastest gaming performance. Productivity performance is actually reduced 1% to 5% with the X3D editions. The chart below shows multithreaded performance in non-gaming applications:

Gaming benchmark tests show that the X3D editions deliver up to 29% frame-rate increases compared to the equivalent standard Ryzen 7000 CPU, while also leapfrogging Intel's fastest CPUs for gaming performance. In some tests the most affordable Ryzen 7 7800X3D delivered the fastest gaming performance, making this CPU a "best buy" for gaming.
