AMD Zen 4 Specs Leak: 16-Core Ryzen 9 7950X Allegedly Hits 5.7 GHz
AMD’s Ryzen 7000 (Raphael) processors with Zen 4 cores are coming this fall to disrupt the best CPUs on the market.However, a hardware leaker enthusiastic citizen (opens in new tab) Spoiled us with potential specs for next-gen chips. Then suddenly ASRock released an official statement. Weibo account (opens in new tab) It denies that the information is from the company and suggests that the specs are probably accurate.
Similar to the Ryzen 5000 (Vermeer), the Ryzen 7000 will max out at 16 cores and 32 threads. A very early rumor claimed that AMD could be up to 24 cores in its consumer chips, which might come as a disappointment to some. But objectively, there’s little reason for AMD to increase the core count on its desktop Ryzen processors. If you don’t consider Intel’s overall hybrid capabilities with performance cores (P cores) and efficiency cores (E cores), chip makers already offer the highest number of cores in consumer chips. Ryzen 7000 rival Raptor Lake will show off up to 24 cores consisting of 8 P cores and 16 E cores.
Nevertheless, Ryzen 7000 has a number of enhancements that we can expect. First, the 5nm processors will rock AMD’s latest and greatest Zen 4 cores. Chip makers estimate a 15% or greater improvement in single-threaded performance and a 35% or greater improvement in multithreaded performance. Better threaded performance than Zen 3. The Ryzen 7000 comes with boost clock speeds of over 5.5 GHz and doubled L2 cache. Unfortunately, the L3 cache has not changed. All the aforementioned improvements come at a price. Additionally, Ryzen 7000 pushes his TDP limit up to 170W (230W peak power), a 62% increase over Ryzen 5000.
As with all unannounced hardware leaks, we recommend treating the Ryzen 7000 specs with caution. The fact that ASRock issued a denial almost certainly indicates that the information is legitimate. If it is fake, ASRock has no reason to make a statement. This is strange because no one suspected ASRock was responsible for the leak. Enthusiastic Citizen informants may work for ASRock.

*Specifications are unconfirmed.
The Ryzen 9 5950X hands over control to the Ryzen 9 7950X. The former has his 4.9 GHz boost clock which was already quite high however the Ryzen 9 7950X could peak at his 5.7 GHz with a 16% difference in boost clock speed to the previous It blew the flagship out of the water. Note that boost clocks are AMD’s rated specs and the chip will reach higher clock speeds depending on the workload. I was.
The Ryzen 9 7900X and Ryzen 7 7700X arrive to replace the Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 7 5700X respectively. The result is a 17% faster boost clock speed on the new Zen 4 chip. What we find odd is that the leak made no mention of the Ryzen 7 7800X. This almost implies that the Ryzen 7 5800X could get a successor or a replacement coming later.For Zen 3 AMD released his Ryzen 7 5800X first , As a result, almost a year later he released the Ryzen 7 5700X. By the time the Ryzen 7 5700X hit the retail market, it was already too late as Intel’s comparable Alder Lake chips were faster and cheaper.
The Ryzen 5 7600X could be the most attractive SKU for gamers. This is a greatly enhanced version of his Ryzen 5 5600X, which was already a very capable gaming chip. The Ryzen 5 7600X which uses the new Zen 4 cores could debut with 15% higher boost clocks.
AMD will unleash its Ryzen 7000 army this quarter. Therefore, we can expect a formal announcement by the end of August or early September. The chipmaker’s motherboard partner recently showed off premium AM5 motherboards featuring the X670 and X670E chipsets. MSI’s AM5 marketing materials firmly state September 15th, so that’s probably when Ryzen 7000 will arrive on retail shelves. It looks like Ryzen 7000 has a first mover advantage as it could land on
