Team Red’s next-gen chips will require a new motherboard when they arrive this fall.
When AMD’s 5-nanometer Ryzen 7000 desktop chips arrive this fall, they will be competing against Intel with “significantly above” 5GHz speeds, DDR5 memory, and PCIe 5.0 controllers. Speaking at Computex 2022, AMD CEO Lisa Su revealed today the company’s next generation of processors, based on 5nm Zen 4 architecture. We were only given a sneak peek at Ryzen 7000, so AMD will need to fill in some missing pieces later in the year. What we can tell you is that the new chips will apparently deliver a 15% performance increase in Cinebench’s single-threaded benchmark over the Ryzen 5950X. During its presentation, AMD also showed off a 16 core chip hitting a 5.5GHz clock speed while playing Ghostwire: Tokyo and completing a Blender render in 31% less time than an Intel Core i9-12900K CPU.
