Groundbreaking new details about the new Ryzen 7000 CPUs, which are to come in the fall: AMD is talking about the new AM5 platform at the Computex keynote. Features like PCI Express 5.0 or DDR5 are not even the most exciting innovations. We have everything you need to know about:
AMD used Computex 2022 to unveil its Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors, which leverage the Zen 4 architecture and can run at up to 5.5GHz.
The Ryzen 7000 series chips use the all-new Zen 4 architecture, which is based on an optimized 5nm process and offers support for AMD RDNA 2 graphics, DDR5 and PCIe 5.0. AMD doubled the L2 cache to 1MB per core, boosted single-threaded performance by more than 15%, and expanded the available instruction set to support the chips for AI workloads.
During the presentation, AMD had a Ryzen 7000 chip running at 5.5GHz and used a Blender multi-threaded rendering workload to show that it’s 30% faster than a Core i9-12900K. That will certainly make Intel sit up and take notice.
The other novelty for the future success of the Ryzen 7000 series is the new AM5 socket with a 1,718-pin LGA design that supports processors with a TDP of up to 170 W and offers dual-channel DDR5 memory. AMD has also squeezed 24 PCIe 5.0 lanes into the AM5 platform, supports up to 14 USB 3.0 ports of different types, four HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2 ports, and Wi-Fi 6E.
Three versions of AM5 motherboards are offered, named B650, X670 and X670 Extreme. B650 is the standard motherboard with support for PCIe 5.0 storage. The X670 is aimed at enthusiastic overclockers with PCIe 5.0 memory and optional graphics card support. Finally, the X670 Extreme motherboards promise the most connectivity, “extreme overclocking capabilities” and support for two graphics card slots plus two PCIe 5.0 memory slots.
