AMD Ryzen 7000
asprevious noticeYes, AMD officially released the Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors earlier, which is in line with Intel’s first 12th-generation Core i processors. This is the first time that the Ryzen series has been replaced with the Zen 4 micro-architecture. It is expected that after the launch on September 27, it is likely to overtake Intel again, but this needs to be verified by the actual measurement results.
There are four products in the first wave of the Ryzen 7000 series, namely the Ryzen 9 7950X with 16 cores and 32 threads, the Ryzen 9 7900X with 12 cores and 24 threads, the Ryzen 7 7700X with 8 cores and 16 threads, and the Ryzen 7700X with 6 cores and 12 threads. 5 7600X. The basic frequency of the four chips is between 4.5~4.7GHz, and the overclocking frequency reaches the spectrum of 5.3~5.7Ghz. Both Ryzen 9 processors have a TDP of 170W, while the remaining Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 have a TDP of 105W.
All four chips use Chiplet technology and TSMC’s 5nm process, and are the first desktop chips to use this new process. According to AMD, with Zen 4’s 13% IPC increase over Zen 3, and the high frequency and low power consumption brought by the 5nm process, overall Ryzen 7000 can perform 29% faster than the previous generation in single-threaded performance. spectrum, and there may be even higher gains in multi-threaded performance.
The Ryzen 7000 series will be paired with AMD’s AM5 platform, including the new LGA socket, DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 support. Chipsets will be launched in X670 Extreme, X670, B660 Extreme and B660 at the initial stage. The X670 will go on sale together with the processor at the end of September, while the B660 will have to wait until October.
As for the more entry-level Ryzen 7000 chips or versions for laptops, they are not expected to appear until next year, so lower-end AM4/Zen 3 chips should be on the market for a while longer.
