AMD plunges into the processor duel with Intel with waving flags and will release the new Ryzen 7000 CPUs along with the new AM5 platform for the mainboards in autumn.
The way Intel and AMD are currently beating each other’s CPUs is impressive. The duel should go into the next round in autumn, when the new Ryzen 7000 CPUs will come, which Dr. Lisa Su presented at the AMD Computex Keynote.
The new AMD Ryzen 7000 processors are based on the Zen 4 architecture with 5 nm. Thanks to the double L2 cache per core and higher clock rates, the single-core performance should be increased by another 15 percent compared to the predecessors. During the keynote, a prototype was presented that reached 5.5 GHz clock speed during gaming. As part of a Blender rendering workload, it outperformed the Intel Core i9 12900K by a whopping 30 percent.
At the same time, the new AM5 platform for the new CPUs was presented. The new boards with 1718-pin LGA design offer support for CPUs with up to 170W TDP, dual-channel DDR5 memory and the new SV13 infrastructure. In addition, AM5 offers up to 24 PCIe 5.0 lanes. Three motherboard designs are planned: X670 Extreme for high-end equipment, X670 for enthusiasts and B650 for the mainstream.
The new Mendocino processor series is also scheduled to be released in Q4, with a focus on notebooks with Zen 2 cores and RDNA 2 architecture.
