AMD is finally releasing its newest technology, the AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs with their Zen 4 architecture. The announcement was made at the ongoing Computex 2022 summit in Taipei.

Users might be convinced to upgrade due to the processor's extremely improved capacity for speed. The company's next generation of Ryzen 7000 will also be supported by a new set of motherboards on the market due to its AM5 compatibility.

However, users who have the company's oldest AM4 motherboards out there should not be sad. AMD designed its new product to also support its most recent Ryzen 5000-series desktop CPUs with a given update.

AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU

AMD CEO Lisa Su revealed the AMD Ryzen 7000 Series desktop processors with Zen 4 architecture during her keynote address at the Computex 2022 event in Taiwan.

The Ryzen 7000 is the first PC processor that will be based on a 5nm, DDR5, PCIE 5.0, 5GHZ, design. With the advancement of this new technology, the new processor will need to have an AM5 motherboard compatible with it.

According to AMD, Ryzen 7000 chips will be capable of overclocking, making them the first desktop processors produced by the company to achieve such a feat.

The Verge reported that during AMD's presentation at Computex, the company demonstrated a clock speed of 5.5GHz while playing Ghostwire: Tokyo. This speed was comparable to the 5.5GHz turbo of Intel's Core i9-12900KS.

In the course of the keynote presentation, a pre-production Ryzen 7000 Series desktop processor was shown operating at a 5.5 GHz clock speed while playing a AAA game. When compared to an Intel Core i9 12900K in terms of performance in a Blender multi-threaded rendering workload, the same processor was found to be more than 30% faster.

However, a feature in the Ryzen 7000 series that makes a huge difference is an increase in clock speed. After numerous technological improvements and generations have passed, the Zen 4 will also have a 15% faster single-threaded performance than the previous Zen 3.

The new AM5 motherboards can now give the chips up to 170W of power, which is an increase from the reported 142W that was available previously. Despite this, it is possible that the new chips have higher power consumption.

Users ranging from professional gamers, developers, artists, musicians, and enthusiasts can now take advantage of advanced connectivity due to the newly released AMD Socket AM5 platform. The features that the AM5 technology can give will allow AMD's Ryzen 7000 Series processors to achieve the highest possible all-core performance.

AMD's New Releases

AMD's CEO also announced numerous releases and developments in the company aside from the awaited Ryzen 7000 Series desktop processors.

Another AMD executive shared the Mendocino project. Mendocino is the newest addition to the company's lineup for Ryzen Mobile. In addition, SmartAccess Storage was also announced at the event. This new technology is part of the company's newest AMD smart technology.

As reported by VentureBeat, AMD's strong growth and presence in the mobile market is also highlighted. To date, 70 of the more than 200 ultrathin, gaming, and commercial notebook designs that are expected to be powered by Ryzen 6000 Series processors have been launched or are yet to be announced.

According to Su, the newly designed processors based on the Zen 4 architecture will bring about a sizable improvement in overall performance when they become available in the fall of 2022.
