AMD launches the latest Ryzen 7000 Series Processors

Finally, AMD is back with its much anticipated Ryzen 7000 Series Processors! The full lineup includes R5 7600X, R7 7700X, R9 7900X and R9 7950X based on AM5 Platform!

AMD is known for its Processors, and its price-to-performance ratio has been popular ever since. Although with the introduction of next-generation gaming, AMD did fall back with their older FX and Phenom Series Chips but got around the market share with their Ryzen CPUs, which are absolute monsters for the price with much better performance than their predecessors. Intel was also great in keeping up the competition with Ryzen but failed a couple of times because of its premium price and performance, which could not match up with the AMD Ryzens.

But with the Intel 12th Gen CPUs, Intel did see a performance boost by introducing the DDR5 Platform, and AMD still didn’t have DDR5 under them until now. But today, after much hype and anticipation, the AMD Ryzen 7000 Series has finally launched, bringing in new technologies with greater performance at a competitive price.

This was their first live event after the pandemic in Austin, and it was attended by many people, both online and offline. They showcased many products, including the full lineup of the latest AMD Zen 4 Processors featuring the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, Ryzen 7 7700X, Ryzen 9 7900X, and Ryzen 9 7950X. AMD aims to achieve greater performance in cloud services, 5G networks, AI, Automotive technology, PCs, Laptops, Gaming & Simulation, and much more. We had a lot of rumours surrounding the AMD Ryzen 7000 Series!

So let’s jump in to see what AMD has for us this year with their latest Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 Series Processors!

The new AMD Ryzen 7000 Series Processors feature the fastest core for gamers while featuring the most compute design for creators. They aim to combine their leadership core designs with the best energy efficiency technologies available.

AMD Ryzen 7000 Series Zen 4 Processors

The all-new AMD Zen 4 Processor is based on the 5nm process featuring PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 Support built on the all-new AM5 Platform. This is the first 5nm processor in the world and supports the latest technologies on launch. Earlier, they stated that the Zen 4 chips would be 8-10% faster than Zen 3, but with their recent optimizations, they are now being able to see a growth of 13% in desktop applications, with 5.7Ghz max frequency, with 29% faster single-core performance than its predecessor.

AMD’s flagship Ryzen 9 7950X

This is AMD’s flagship processor for both Gamers and Creators.

Cores	16 Cores / 32 Threads
Speed	Up to 5.7Ghz
Cache	80MB L2+L3 Cache
TDP	170W TDP

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X vs AMD Ryzen 9 5950X

Dota 2 [32% faster]	V-Ray Render {48% faster]
Shadow of Tomb Raider [35% faster]	Blender Render [30% faster]
Borderlands 3 [6% faster]	Cinebench R23 nT [48% faster]
CS:GO [+13%]	POV-Ray [45% faster]

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X vs Intel 12900K Processor

Dota 2 [23% faster]	V-Ray Render (62% faster]
Shadow of Tomb Raider [14% faster]	Blender Render [36% faster]
Borderlands 3 [Tie]	Cinebench R23 nT [41% faster]
CS:GO [-1%]	POV-Ray [41% faster]

This is a great processor for Creators because of the massive performance increase. The AMD 7950X will be worth your money. AMD brings in 62% more performance with a whopping 47% better energy efficiency. Apart from the 7950X, there are three more processors launched by AMD.

Ryzen 7000 Series	AMD Ryzen 9 7950X	AMD Ryzen 9 7900X	AMD Ryzen 7 7700X	AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
Cores	16 Cores / 32 Threads	12 Cores / 24 Threads	8 Cores / 16 Threads	6 Cores / 12 Threads
Base Frequency	4.5 GHz	4.7 GHz	4.5 GHz	4.7 GHz
Max Frequency	Up to 5.7Ghz	Up to 5.6Ghz	Up to 5.4Ghz	Up to 5.3Ghz
Cache	80MB L2+L3 Cache	76MB L2+L3 Cache	40MB L2+L3 Cache	38MB L2+L3 Cache
TDP	170W TDP	170W TDP	105W	105W

The all-new 7000 Series CPUs have faster single-core performance than the Intel Core i9 12900K when tested using the Geekbench 5.4 Single Thread Performance Test, and faster single-core performance means better gaming. The AMD 7600X gives more than 400+ FPS. Thus, it is 11% faster than the Intel Core i9 12900K on F1 2022, 2% faster in Shadow Middle Earth and 17% faster in Rainbow Six Seige. Although the 7600X falls behind in GTA 5 by 3% while maintaining a TIE in Cyberpunk 2077.

The Zen 4 also brings 13% more Core IPC uplift with a new design and AI AVX 512 Acceleration built on a 5nm process. AMD also showcased that the new Zen 4 Core takes 50% less area than Intel while being 47% more energy efficient. AMD also showcased the new Zen 5, Zen 5 3D V-Cache and Zen 5C in 2024.

AMD Zen 4C

The AMD Zen 4C is mainly targeted toward cloud computing. It delivers the identical functions of the Zen 4 in just half of the core area coming out in 2023 for the Server lineups. These are mainly for PCs that don’t need to run at high frequencies all the time. The Zen 5C will also be taking the place of the Zen 4C in 2024.

AM5 Platform for AMD

The new AMD AM5 platform will feature a 1718-pin LGA socket, with up to 230W Socket power delivery. The new Platform will also support DDR5 and PCI-E 5.0 and be compatible with AM4 coolers.

A new range of motherboards also joins AMD, which will feature four different chipsets.

1. B650
2. B650 Extreme
3. X670
4. X670 Extreme

The Extreme boards will allow the PCIe 5.0 to power both Graphics and Storage, while the non-extreme ones will only support PCI-E 5.0 storage. The X series motherboards are already available in September, and the B Series are made available by October. The DDR5 Support on this motherboard promises to deliver outstanding performance starting from 5200Mhz.

The new AMD EXPO Technology enables one-click DDR5 overclocking for Ryzen-based systems, which provides 11% more gaming performance and faster low latency ddr5, which goes down to 63nano seconds. AMD also introduces new memory kits that will work the best with the latest AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processor. AMD certifies brands like Adata, Corsair, Geil, GSkill, Kingston etc., as their primary choice of memory brand.
