Zen 5 is the name new architecture which AMD will use in its next generation of processors, currently known as Ryzen 8000, a nomenclature that logically follows, as it is the successor to the current Ryzen 7000. It is expected to launch sometime in 2024 and, according to the latest information, could represent a huge performance improvement over the current generation.

Everything I’m going to tell you below matches up perfectly with the leaks we’ve seen before, which pointed out that the Zen 5 could improve IPC by 20% compared to the Zen 4. This new information has left us with a number specific performance data in Cinebench R23 obtained Ryzen 9 8950X, Ryzen 9 8900X, Ryzen 7 8700X and Ryzen 5 8600X.

• Ryzen 9 8950X with 16 cores and 32 threads: 49,000 points in multithreading.
• Ryzen 9 8900X with 12 cores and 24 threads: 36,000 points in multithreading.
• Ryzen 7 8700X with 8 cores and 16 threads: 23,000 points in multithreading.
• Ryzen 5 8600X with 6 cores and 12 threads: 17,000 points in multithreading

The improvement that the Ryzen 9 8950X would achieve compared to the Ryzen 9 7950X would be 30.58%. The Ryzen 9 8900X would make an improvement 32.40% Compared to the Ryzen 9 7900X, the Ryzen 7 8700X has performance 17.14% more than Ryzen 7 7700X and Ryzen 5 8600X outperforms Ryzen 5 7600X by 14.78%.

There is an explanation why the differences are bigger for the more powerful models and it is very easy to explain because the Zen 5 core will perform better than the Zen 4 core and the greater the number of cores and threads, the greater the accumulated difference per core. On the other hand, it is important that you take into account that the scores of Zen 5-based processors have been rounded and that the measurements were made on engineering samples, so final results may vary with business units.

The source of this information also stated that Cinebench R23 single-threaded performance of processors based on the architecture Zen 5 far exceeds 2500 points. For comparison, the Intel Core i9-13900K can reach 2,243 points in the said test, and the Intel Core i9-14900K is said to be between 2,300 and 2,400 points, depending on the maximum frequency peak it is capable of. to achieve Intel.

The new Ryzen 8000 processors will be produced in TSMC 3nm node, so we can expect a significant jump in the efficiency level. There will be no changes at the design level, which means AMD reiterates its chiplet commitment as the base unit for the production of these new CPUs and that the I/O chiplet will continue to be present. It is very likely that it will be manufactured on TSMC’s 5nm node.
