AMD Unveils Ryzen 7000 Family, 29% Faster Single-Threaded, and Advances RDNA3, 50% More Powerful Than RDNA2

Now yes, the time has come to know the details of Ryzen 7000. After the somewhat sparse presentation of the Computex fair, Lisa Su, head of AMD, has released this morning (almost) all the relevant information of the new generation of Ryzen processors, based on the Zen 4 architecture, manufactured using a new 5nm process by TSMC and equipped with RDNA2 graphics.

With a new design that requires the use of socket AM5 boards (an important but expected change after long years without changes in this regard), the new Ryzen 7000 will provide a significant performance improvement over current chips. AMD ensures an IPC (instructions per clock cycle) rise of 13%, even more than what it indicated at the Computex conference (then it promised 11%), with a 29% single thread performance improvementWhich is a huge generational leap.

The initial range will be made up of four chips between 6 and 16 cores, peaking at a Ryzen 9 7950X that is equal to or slightly exceeds the most flowery and recent Intel Core i9, boasting no less than 80 MB of cache between L2 and L3. At the bottom we find a Ryzen 5 7600X that should provide more than considerable general performance. The TDPs range between 105 and 170 W; a considerable increase and that undoubtedly intervenes in the improvement of performance.

All these processors incorporate their own RDNA2 CPUs, with enough power to run a good number of latest-generation games relatively smoothly without the need to use a dedicated graphics card, albeit at the cost of reducing the level of detail.

Unfortunately AMD still does not want to reveal the technical details of its integrated GPUs; a big informational gap that doesn’t seem like we’re going to solve until the launch of the processors on September 27th.

And also, preview of RDNA3 and future Radeon RX 7000 cards

On the other hand, Lisa Su has taken advantage of her speech at the AMD conference to make very briefly known the future of the company’s graphics cards. During the event she has hinted at a new Radeon 7000 based on RDNA3, an architecture that will yield approximately 50% more per watt compared to the current RDNA2 and that is already working internally in the AMD laboratories.

During the very brief demo, Su showed off Ryzen 9 7950X CPUs alongside a pre-production card running Lies of P at 4K with Ultra detail and apparent smoothness. Unfortunately this is all we have for now, and it is almost certain that we will not see the first commercial graphics cards until the end of the year.
