You won’t have to wait until the fall to have an idea of what AMD is currently working on with their new Ryzen 7000 desktop CPU series. The company has unintentionally and accidentally provided clues About the new chipset themselves. AMD’s Resource page contained a list of early Ryzen 7000 processor models and the focus is primarily on higher-end chips.
There are 2 variants, in particular, the 7900X and 7950X, one Ryzen 7 (the 7700X) and a Ryzen 5 model (the 7600X). There are no Ryzen 3 chips, although that last part isn’t very shocking considering that AMD has historically focused on enthusiast parts in the early stages of CPU rollouts.
There were no technical details, although AMD did show a 16-core CPU that reached a 5.5GHz clock speed. That might represent the Ryzen 9 7950X. All of the 7000 series will be based on a new Zen 4 architecture that delivers twice the Level 2 cache per core, maximum boost speeds above 5GHz, AI acceleration, and support for technologies like DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0. You’ll need an AM5-compatible motherboard to leap, but AMD is promising a 15 percent or higher increase in single-threaded performance. It’s still very unclear when the new 7000 desktop CPU line-up will ship or how much it will cost, although you will have to wait for a very long time if you are hoping for high-end laptop CPUs as AMD is not going to be delivering Dragon Range until 2023. Even so, this new teaser gives you an idea of what to expect when Zen 4 finally reaches stores.
