Chipmaker AMD has introduced its latest Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors for gamers and content creators. Ryzen 7000 Series is based on the new “Zen 4” architecture and is built on TSMC 5nm process. It features up to 16 cores and 32 threads.
AMD claims that it was working on getting 8-10% of IPC boost but managed to achieve 13% of IPC boost over Zen 3 processors. Ryzen 7000 processors will use the new AM5 socket and supports DDR5 and PCIe 5.0. Ryzen 9 7950X promises to deliver up to 62% higher performance than Intel’s Core i9-12900K 12th Gen CPU and is also more energy efficient.
Ryzen 7000 Series CPUs can reach 5.7GHz. Here is a breakdown of AMD’s four latest Ryzen 700 series desktop processors.
