IT Home April 16th news, AMD will launch a new generation of Ryzen 7000 series processors and new AM5 slot motherboards in the second half of this year.
According to previous revelations, AMD's AM5 slot will adopt LGA design, changing the previous PGA design, and will also support DDR5 memory and provide support for new technologies such as PCIe 5.0. New motherboards, new memory, new processors, a series of new products in the second half of the year will bring a new beginning to AMD.
As the AM5 motherboard release date approaches, AMD is also preparing to launch motherboards that are suitable for the 7000 series processors B650 series and X670 series chipsets.
From Twitter's whistleblower @9550pro shows a BIOS/UEFI screenshot on an MSI MAG series motherboard with an AMD B650 chipset, showing that the motherboard is equipped with a Ryzen processor running at 1.532V, which indicates that AMD's Ryzen 7000 series will be expanded to 1.5V or even higher voltage segments.
AMD previously stated that their Zen 4 processor will use TSMC 5nm nodes to create an optimized version of HPC (supercomputing and high-performance computing solutions), meaning that AMD processors will be optimized for 5nm nodes to achieve higher power levels and higher voltages.
IT Home has reported that the AMD Ryzen 7000 series is expected to adopt a 5nm Zen4 microarchitecture design with up to 16 cores, and will be paired with the new AM5 LGA slot cod. AMD intends to provide years of support for its new slots and will also be compatible with AM4 heatsinks, and the new platform will also support the latest DDR5 memory as well as the PCIe 5 standard.
whistleblower KOMACHI_ENSAKA previously stated that the core graphics of AMD Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors adopt the latest RDNA2 architecture, with 4 CUs, that is, 256 stream processors, with a frequency of only 1.1GHz, and a single-precision computing performance of about 0.5 TFLOPs. For comparison, AMD's newly released Ryzen 6000 mobile processor is equipped with up to 12CU with a frequency of up to 2.4GHz.
At CES in January this year, AMD officially announced the Ryzen 7000 processor. AMD said the processor is based on the 5nm Zen 4 architecture and will be available in the second half of 2022. To match the Ryzen "Zen 4" architecture processor, AMD will also launch a brand new AMD Socket AM5 slot to the market.
AMD CEO Su Zifeng confirmed that the Ryzen 7000 can achieve full core 5.0GHz, which means that its maximum single core frequency will exceed 5GHz. AMD also confirmed that the new Ryzen 7000 desktop processor will use the LGA1718 interface.
The high-end model of AMD Ryzen 7000 is still 12-core and 16-core specifications, of which the TDP of the 12-core model is still 105W, but the TDP of the 16-core flagship model reaches 170W.
