AMD formally lifted the curtain on their Ryzen 7000 CPUs earlier today in a true live stream with media attendees. AMD has been building for this launch way back before COMPUTEX 2022 and now we finally have more details. Truth be told, many of these details have already been shared but with this announcement we now have a formal finality on what AMD is planning with their new start of another era for Ryzen.
The launch slate for Ryzen 7000 mirrors that of the Ryzen 5000 launch with a quartet of CPUs:
- Ryzen 9 7950X 16-core/170W – $699
- Ryzen 9 7900X 12-core/170W – $549
- Ryzen 7 7700X 8-core/105W – $399
- Ryzen 7 7600X 6-core/105W – $299
AMD improves on the last generation by a combination of increases IPC and clock speeds. At 13% IPC increase over Zen 3 this sees a significant bump on performance and with the likes of the Ryzen 9 7950X seeing its single-core boost clock reaching as high as 5.7Ghz, this should put a good 29% increase in single-threaded performance over the 5950X.
We’ll have a complete tech breakdown in a separate article. AMD’s new CPUs will be coming September 27.
