Ryzen 7 processors feature eight physical cores and 16 threads, and compete against Intel’s high-end Core i7 CPU lineup.

AMD’s new processors are based on the Zen architecture and manufactured on a 14nm process node. The CPUs boasts a 52% increase in IPC (Instructions per Cycle) compared to AMD’s previous desktop processors.

All Ryzen 7 processors can be overclocked and automatically boost up to an extended clock speed when paired with an efficient cooling solution.
