A modern concept has arrived that will see a reimagined focus on efficiency and productivity command structure in the CPU landscape. Two companies are competing for the crown in this section. But given the accumulative (but sometimes innovative) shifts that each chipmaker brings to the sector in a few sections, there is no clear winner. Buyers continue to profit from this nasty fight between red and blue, which is the most stressful it has ever been.
While Intel’s 12th Gen Alder Lake lineup has dethroned AMD regarding performance, worth, and effectiveness, AMD isn’t going away quietly. They scheduled two brand new CPU arrivals this year. Among them, one of which would be a display of how 3D V-Cache can provide gamers with faster results in a mainstream media package. However, that is only one chip. The larger and main CPU release has always been planned for the second half of 2022 in the form of Ryzen 7000, and it will dramatically change every aspect of the Ryzen Desktop CPU platform.
Over Zen’s five years, the corporation progressed from determination to core leadership, effectiveness governance, and gaming governance. And now, the red team has secured the clock speed governance, which we thought would be impossible against a rival like Intel. The clock leadership will be brief, as the competitive rivalry plans to launch chips capable of 6 GHz next month, but it’s still an amazing accomplishment for AMD.

So, AMD has chosen to release a second architecture complete revamp this year, and boy! It’s a significant one. Enter AM5 and Zen 4, a new architecture focusing on productivity and multi-threading effectiveness, and a new platform adorned with the next features like DDR5 and PCIe 5.0. The AMD Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4” matchup will include Ryzen 9, Ryzen 7, and Ryzen 5 CPUs from top to bottom.
The following are the main characteristics of AMD’s Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs:
- Up to 16 Zen 4 Cores and 32 Threads +29% Performance Improvement in Single-Threaded Applications
- New Zen 4 CPU Cores (IPC / Architectural Upgrades)
- TSMC 5nm process node with 6nm IOD is brand new.
- 25% increase in performance per watt over Zen 3 >35% Overall Performance Improvement Compared to Zen 3 13% Improvement in Instructions Per Clock (IPC) Compared to Zen 3 Support on AM5 Platform with LGA1718 Socket New X670E, X670, B650E, B650 Motherboards
- DDR5 Dual-Channel Memory Supports DDR5-5600 Native (JEDEC) Speeds
- There are 28 PCIe lanes (CPU Exclusive)
- TDPs 105-120W (Upper Bound Range 170W)
AMD is competing not only with Intel’s 12th Generation CPUs but also with the forthcoming 13th Generation Desktop CPUs. The organization sent us the flagship Ryzen 9 7950X and the popular Ryzen 7 7700X CPUs for review. So, now let us take a look at what AMD has to provide with its newly designed AM5 platform.
