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 The latter were manufactured using an outdated manufacturing process and could not keep up with the competing products from Intel.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.
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 The latter were manufactured using an outdated manufacturing process and could not keep up with the competing products from Intel.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

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 !

Description of the processor
The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is a 16-core mainstream desktop processor from AMD, which is manufactured at TSMC in an improved 7 nm process. Thanks to the modern production technology and the high computing power per clock (IPC), the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X sets new records for mainstream processors in many benchmarks. It is based on the new Zen 3 CPU cores (Vermeer) from AMD and was presented in the 4th quarter of 2020.In addition to higher clock frequencies, AMD was able to further increase the computing power per clock compared to the previous architecture (Zen 2). This is currently even higher than the new Intel Tiger Lake processors. The Intel Tiger Lake processors are based on a new Intel architecture, the older processors still had their origins in the outdated Sandy Lake architecture. Nevertheless, the new Ryzen 5xxx processors are above the new hopes from Intel.
The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X supports the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X with a full 64 MB Level 3 cache. In addition, DDR4 memory up to DDR4-3200 is supported. Per D.O.C.P. Profile or manual overclocking of the main memory, higher frequencies are also possible. As before, the processor connects the RAM to the CPU via two channels; AMD specifies a maximum capacity of 128 GB. PCIe 4.0 devices such as dedicated graphics cards or fast M.2 SSDs can be connected via 20 CPU lines.
Like all Zen desktop processors, the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X does not have integrated graphics (iGPU). AMD has released the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X for overclocking (open multiplier), but not very much experience is available about the clock frequency. Since it is a 16 core processor, one can assume that the maximum clock can only be increased by a few 100 Mhz before the power consumption increases drastically.
