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.

Most popular processors in the first half of 2022

In the past we had repeatedly written about our most popular processors. Since this format was quiet popular, I would like to continue this today and introduce you the most popular processors in the first half of 2022.

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 !

Description of the processor

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is a 12 core processor (24 threads). It is the successor to the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, which is currently one of the most popular processors for the upscale mainstream PC. Since it is based on the same CPU design as the 16-core processors from AMD (e.g. AMD Ryzen 9 5950X), the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X also has a 64 MB level 3 cache.

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is manufactured in an improved 7 nm manufacturing process at TSMC. The modern 7 nm production enables high clock frequencies with a lower energy consumption of the CPU. The Ryzen 5xxx processors have the new Zen-3 CPU core design from AMD, which has an even higher computing power per clock (IPC) compared to the already fast predecessor architecture. In addition, AMD was able to increase the clock frequencies of the Ryzen 5xxx processors again, so that they achieve a total performance gain of 12-20 percent compared to the previous years models.

The Ryzen 5xxx desktop processors can quickly connect external devices such as graphics cards or fast data carriers such as an M.2 SSD to the processor. PCIe 4.0 SSDs benefit greatly from twice the bandwidth (compared to PCIe 3.0), as they are only connected to the CPU with 4 lines. While the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 M.2 SSDs is a maximum of 4 GB / s, PCIe 4.0 SSDs can transfer data at up to 8 GB / s.

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X has an open multiplier and can be overclocked relatively easily. However, the energy consumption of a CPU increases sharply when overclocking, which is of course even more pronounced with a 16-core processor. Although the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is only shown with a TDP of 105 watts, in reality the power consumption ex works is well over 105 watts. Therefore, good air or even water cooling is recommended.
