Why the new AMD Ryzen 7000 processors for the AM5 socket are currently not a good deal
Why the new AMD Ryzen 7000 processors for the AM5 socket are currently not a good deal
Posted by Stefan on 2022-10-11
At the end of September 2022, the time had come: AMD presented its latest desktop processors called AMD Ryzen 7000. Initially, 4 processors with 6 to 16 CPU cores were released.

The new socket AM5 (LGA 1718) is used for the first time, which is intended to replace the very durable socket AM4 introduced in 2017 as AMDs mainstream platform. This includes (depending on the chipset) PCIe 5.0 support as well as the exclusive use of DDR5 memory on all AM5 mainboards.

Officially, DDR5-5200 is the maximum, but with AMDs EXPO Technology which is similar to Intel's XMP 3.0, AMD now also has a solution for easy overclocking of the main memory. AMD itself names DDR5-6000 as the sweet spot for the new AMD Ryzen 7000 processors.

The AMD Ryzen processors are designed for the mid to high-end range and are grouped into the Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 classes. AMD follows the market leader Intel, which groups its Core i series (Intel Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 and Core i9) identically.

The AMD Ryzen processors were first introduced by AMD in Q1 2017. They are the successor to the not particularly successful AMD Bulldozer processors. The latter were manufactured using an outdated manufacturing process and could not keep up with the competing products from Intel. AMD lost a large portion of its desktop processor market share during this period.

After we published a performance assessment of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X last week, the well-known AMD leaker Greymon55 has now posted more informations via Twitter.

He predicts the first four models of the new Zen 4 desktop generation, which AMD would like to present at the end of 2022. There is also an alleged release date of September 15, 2022.

We give you a preview of AMD's new Zen 4 desktop processors and calculate the performance of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X top model for the new AM5 socket. The performance data and other technical details come directly from the press kit that AMD released as part of its Financial Analyst Day on June 9, 2022.

Up to 15 percent more single-core performance and 35 percent more multi-core performance of the 16-core model are realistic !

Comparison of the two processors

In a direct comparison of the two processors AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, it quickly becomes apparent that the processors only differ in very small areas such as clock frequency or TDP.

Both processors each have 8 CPU cores and can process up to 16 threads in parallel thanks to the support of AMD's Simultaneous Multi-Threading Technology. The processors use AMD's Zen 3 cores for the desktop, called "Vermeer".

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X has a clock frequency of 3.4 GHz and can set this to 4.2 GHz in turbo mode (all cores) or even up to 4.6 GHz when only one core is loaded. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X has a base clock of 3.8 GHz and is therefore 0.4 GHz higher. In turbo mode, 4.4 GHz and 4.7 GHz are reached under load on just one CPU core.

In the benchmarks, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is 2-10 percent faster than its little brother due to the slightly higher clock frequency. Both the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X support up to 128 GB of DDR4-3200 type RAM, which can be addressed in a maximum of two memory channels (maximum of 4 RAM modules).

The memory bandwidth when using DDR4-3200 is 51.2 GB per second if at least two DDR4-3200 memory modules are installed in the system. Faster modules can also be installed, but AMD only gives a guarantee up to DDR4-3200.

Dedicated graphics cards or fast M.2 SSDs can be connected to the system via a total of 20 PCIe 4.0 lines. The TDP of the two processors is different. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X still operates at a TDP of 65 watts, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is already in the 105 watt TDP range due to the higher clock frequencies.

In practice, however, the initially large TDP difference is negligible and the power consumption differs only slightly.
