AMD Ryzen 7 5700
An eight-core, sixteen-thread AM4 chip built from AMD's Cezanne APU die with the integrated graphics fused off, carrying half the L3 cache of the chiplet-based 5700X at the same 65 W default TDP. It reached OEM systems in 2022 before AMD later sold it at retail, undercutting the 5700X while keeping the same core count.
Pros
- Eight cores and sixteen threads at a 65 W default TDP are easy to cool in small or budget builds
- AMD's own spec sheet lists it as unlocked for overclocking, unlike some other budget Ryzen 5000 parts
- Ships with AMD's Wraith Stealth cooler included in the box
- Fits any AM4 motherboard already on the market, from B450 up to X570
- Configurable TDP down to 45 W suits quiet or small-form-factor systems
Cons
- 16 MB of L3 cache, half of the chiplet-based 5700X's 32 MB, narrows its lead over cheaper six-core parts in some games
- No integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is required to get a display signal
- PCIe 3.0 rather than the PCIe 4.0 lanes AMD's higher-tier 5000-series chips offer
- AM4 is a mature platform with no upgrade path beyond Zen 3
