![]() ![]() It is rumored that AMD has set a mid-September release date, perhaps on September 15.ĪMD recently demoed a 16-core Ryzen 7000 processor hitting an amazing 5.5 GHz during a gaming demo and completing a Blender render in 31% less time than Intel's flagship Core i9-12900K.ĪMD says the final chips will come with up to >5.5 GHz boost clocks and are loaded with new tech, like a new integrated Radeon RDNA 2 graphics engine, and support AI instructions based on AVX-512. For any fellow datacenter enthusiasts, Zen 4 in the datacenter is also getting a new massive socket, SP5, with an impressive 6,096 pins. Any speculative A520 model or A300 model or similar has not yet been confirmed. The current confirmed chipsets are X670E (likely a dual-chip version of the X670), X670, and B650. Despite this, AM4 coolers are compatible with the AM5 socket, so users can save some money there from having to buy a new cooler (though with the higher power draw, one may want to consider a beefier cooler like the NH-U12A, or perhaps a liquid cooler like the Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 240). In terms of motherboards, the new 600-series chipsets are resorting to a whole new socket, LGA1718, which ditches the pin-grid-array design of many previous AMD CPUs. Zen 4 models with 3D V-Cache, AMD's die-stacking technology that drastically enhances the amount of 元 cache, is also confirmed to be coming to market by the end of this year. The twofold increase in L2 cache size will be quite beneficial to both ordinary consumers and especially datacenters which must process ever-larger amounts of information.įurthermore, Zen 4 desktop CPUs will come with a small RDNA 2 GPU, meant primarily to serve as a display output and not much more (like Intel's entry-level iGPUs), which makes these CPUs a better value to OEMs and system integrators, who don't need to install a dGPU if they are simply building things like office machines. Core counts remain unchanged, at up to 16 cores. Other gains in performance and efficiency stem from TSMC's N5 5nm process for the compute dies and the 6nm I/O die (down from 7nm and 12nm for Zen 3), quad-channel DDR5, an 8-10% gain in IPC, support for AVX-512 (which was an Intel stronghold for years) and unfortunately, seemingly following Intel, an increase in power consumption of up to 230W (with a 170W official TDP). ![]() This is an exciting time for AMD, as it seems likely that Zen 4 will be able to, like Zen 3, dethrone Intel's Alder Lake in terms of performance.Ī significant part of AMD's performance uplift for Zen 4 is the ability to ramp to higher clockspeeds, with boost clocks over 5.5 GHz being officially confirmed. ![]() AMD's Zen 4 architecture, Raphael, and its corresponding Ryzen 7000 series of CPUs is approaching. ![]()
