According to Leifeng.com, at 7 a.m. on August 30, Beijing time, AMD released the highly anticipated AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors and Zen 4 architecture at a press conference with the theme "together we advance_PCs", and announced that AMD Development plans for the coming period.
The Ryzen 7000
series processors include the Ryzen 9 7950X
and Ryzen 9 7900X
, Ryzen 7 700X
and Ryzen 5 7600X
, which are manufactured based on TSMC's 5nm
process and use
the
new Zen 4
architecture.
The Zen 4
architecture surpassed the original
preset goal of
increasing the number of clock instructions (IPC) by 10%
. The new architecture
increased the IPC by 13%
. Compared with the previous generation Zen3
architecture, the Zen4
architecture has increased the single-thread performance by 29%
, and the multi-thread performance by more than 35%
.
And thanks to the cooperation with TSMC, the Zen 4 architecture also has a higher clock speed and better heat dissipation design, and the performance per watt is more than 25% higher than the previous generation.
It is worth noting that the Zen 4 architecture will also add support for the AVX-512 instruction set. In March this year, Intel just announced that it would disable this instruction set in subsequent 12th-generation Core processors. Intel has previously found that running such instruction sets significantly increases CPU power consumption.
Su Zifeng said that the 7000 series Ryzen's running scores on Geek bench all exceeded Intel's flagship processor i9-12900K.
At the same time, Su Zifeng also claimed that the 7000
series Ryzen flagship model Ryzen 9 7950X
is the most powerful gaming CPU in the world so far
.
Ryzen 9 7950X has 16 cores and 32 threads. The base frequency is 4.5GHz, and the peak frequency reaches 5.7GHz, which is 800MHz higher than the previous generation processor and 200MHz higher than Intel's 12th generation Core flagship processor i9-12900KS.
In terms of actual performance,
AMD
claims that in gaming scenarios, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
will
provide a 35%
performance improvement
compared to the Core i9-12900K in games such as "Tomb Raider"
.
In
the scenario of
running v-ray
, Ryzen 9 7950X
is 62% faster
than Intel's flagship CPU i9-12900K
, and has 47% higher performance per watt
.
Ryzen 9 7900K is equipped with 12 cores, 24 threads, and a main frequency of up to 5.6GHz. It is positioned on the same level as AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and has the same price as the latter. It can be said that the price is increased without increasing the quantity.
The entry-level Ryzen 5 7600X is equipped with 6 cores and 12 threads. With a base frequency of 4.7GHz and a maximum frequency of 5.3GHz, AMD claims that this entry-level chip still has a 5% performance improvement compared to Intel's 12th generation Core flagship products.
In terms of selling price, the flagship AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
is
US$699, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X
is
US$549, the Ryzen 7 7700X
is
US$399, and the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
is US$299
.
AMD
said the Ryzen 7000
series processors will be available on September
27
.
AMD also demonstrated a new GPU using the RDNA 3 architecture for the first time at this conference. According to Su Zifeng, the GPU is stacked in a chiplet manner and uses TSMC's 5nm process, which improves performance per watt by 50% compared to existing Radeon GPUs.
A demonstration video of using Ryzen 9 7950X and RNDA 3 architecture GPU to play games was played on site, but no further details on the GPU's gaming performance were released.
In addition to launching products, AMD also showcased its development blueprint for the coming period.
At the press conference, AMD showed a more detailed Zen architecture roadmap. According to the roadmap, AMD will release Zen 5 architecture processors using 4nm/3nm processes in 2024.
Su Zifeng also said that in the next few quarters,
AMD
will also release
three new architectures:
Zen4C
,
RDNA3
and
XDNA
.
