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 evolution of AMD Ryzen processors
Posted by Stefan on 2022-09-06
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 The latter were manufactured using an outdated manufacturing process and could not keep up with the competing products from Intel.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.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and AMD Ryzen 7 7800X are coming in September
Posted by Stefan on 2022-06-20
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.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X - Cinebench R23 Benchmark projection
Posted by Stefan on 2022-06-10
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
AMD's new Ryzen 5xxx processors make industry leader Intel work up a sweat: up to 20% more performance than the previous generation is a strong announcement. Mainly because AMD was able to convince last year. The only weak point of the Ryzen 3xxx was its single-core performance, which was not quite on the level of the Intel processors. AMD is now cleaning up and even trumps Intel's latest (11th generation) processor generation.The Intel Core i9-10900K is Intel's most powerful processor in the mainstream area. With 10 cores and 20 threads and clock frequencies of up to 5.3 GHz (single-core load) and 4.9 GHz (multi-core load), the processor is particularly fast. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is only armed with 8 cores (16 threads). The cores clock with up to 4.7 GHz (single-core load) or 4.4 GHz (multi-core load). Nevertheless, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X manages to beat the Intel Core i9 by up to 15 percent in single-core load scenarios.
In multi-core benchmarks, the Intel Core i9-10900K is able to set itself apart and achieves an approximately 10 percent higher performance than the 8 core processor from AMD. However, this only costs a little more than half of the Intel Core i9.
The TDP is not very far apart with 105 watts (AMD) to 125 watts (Intel), in reality the Intel processor, which is still manufactured in 14 nm, requires significantly more energy than the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X. The latter is manufactured by TSMC in a very efficient 7 nm process. The slightly lower clock frequencies of the AMD processor also save the electricity bill. That it is still enough for such a high performance shows that Intel is currently having a hard time keeping up with AMD.
Both processors support up to 128 GB of RAM in 2 memory channels. When using several memory modules, both processors support the fast dual-channel mode. While the AMD processor can handle DDR4-3200, Intel gives the Intel Core i9-10900K a maximum of DDR4-2933 support.
