The launch of the Ryzen 7000 processors is still scheduled at the end of this yearbut the leaks do not stop. Thanks to these leaks, we were able to share with you last January a compilation with some of the most important keys to the basic architecture of the Ryzen 7000, known as Zen 4, and now we have new information that highlights some very interesting aspects. these new processors.

The Ryzen 7000 will retain the MCM (multichip module) core design we saw on the Ryzen 5000, but will be able to offer single wire performance improvement by 28% to 37%. Keep in mind that I’m not talking about an increase in IPC, but a single-wire power in general, which means that this figure includes both an increase in IPC-derived power and an increase in operating frequencies.

If we limit ourselves to IPC, Ryzen 7000 is expected to represent 15% to 24% improvement compared to the Ryzen 5000. In terms of operating frequencies, there seems to be all indications that we will see an increase between 8% and 14%. Both percentages apply to the maximum continuous speed values ​​in turbo mode, which excludes possible short-term maximum peaks. Needless to say, these are impressive values, albeit absolutely believable, especially when we see what AMD has achieved with Zen 3.

In multithreading, the Ryzen 7000 should offer significant performance improvements, although somewhat lower than the values ​​we saw for monofilament because turbo mode should reduce the frequency by having a high number of busy cores and fibers. You already know how it works, turbo mode reaches maximum frequency with one core and two active fibers and reduces the frequency when multiple cores are used.

The Ryzen 7000 will use a new generation platform

And it seems that this will unfortunately have a negative side, as according to the latest information, the Ryzen 7000 will only be compatible with DDR5 memory. If this is confirmed, we will make the leap to this generation of processors we would have to change not only the motherboard but also the RAM. In this sense, it should be noted that Intel did not make this mistake with Core Gen12 because they are compatible with DDR4 and DDR5.

This new generation of processors would also be compatible with the new standard PCIE Gen5will bring big changes to the floating point unit as well in the first and second level cache. In this sense, two major changes need to be highlighted: increasing the L1 cache bandwidth, which could reach 64 GB / s, and increasing the total L2 cache memory per core, which will increase from 512 KB Zen 3. to 1 MB with Zen 4.

Ryzen 7000 will made by 5nm process from TSMC and will have a turbo mode of up to 5 GHz, which means that AMD will finally be able to remove the “thorn” that has stuck for many years, a topic we already had the opportunity to touch on at the time. in this article. I would like to remind you that we do not expect the Ryzen 7000 to increase the maximum number of cores and threads, that is, they should leave a maximum of 16 cores and 32 Ryzen 5000 threadsbut since it is not confirmed, we cannot take it for granted.

In the attached picture you will find a summary of other important rumors that he focuses on Zen 4cprofessional sector architecture, and also in the next generation of APUs. Phoenix is ​​the most interesting because, as we told you at the time, it can come with a very powerful integrated GPU. All this information has been collected by Moore’s Law Is Dead YouTube channel.
