AMD’s new generation of processors, the Ryzen 7000, is a guaranteed alternative to Intel’s Raptor Lake, and among the desktop models announced so far, the Ryzen 9 7950X stands out, rightly winning the Best Multi-Purpose Processor award from the TPNET Awards. 2022.

Aimed at users who want the most advanced AMD CPUs for the consumer market, this high-end platform is a sensational development for demanding computing tasks, gaming as well as the most professional ones such as editing/creating. As we could find out in our review that we published in October, this micro is an ideal investment to build machines for all off-road enthusiasts for work and fun.

The Ryzen 9 7950X is a solution with 16 cores and 32 threads native processing, installed in two CCD units with 8 cores and SMT technology, which allows the processing of one process and one thread per core. In addition to having the same number of cores of the previous generation’s micro equivalent (Ryzen 9 5950X), its improvements are remarkable and stem from its new ZEN4 architecture and advanced 5 nm technological manufacturing process.

In this way, AMD managed to reduce the size of the transistors and increase their density in each CCD unit. major performance improvements in IPC and multithreading, with operating frequencies that can reach 5.7 GHz with remarkable overclocking capacity facilitated by its unlocked multiplier. Cache has also been significantly increased to 64MB L3 (32MB per CCD and 16MB L2 cache with 1MB per core) and includes integrated Radeon RDNA2 graphics that provide clear performance value.

In addition to performance, the Ryzen 9 7950X is built on a more modern platform with new generation motherboards with the new 600 series chipset, where the AMD X670E and the new AM5 socket stand out, which pave the way to support the most advanced technologies: DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0 interface for upcoming graphics cards or SSDs and the latest wireless standards, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 .

In short, a processor made in the most advanced technological nodes for PC, with a substantial improvement in performance compared to the previous generation, supported by the latest generation of chipset (and socket) to cover the most advanced standards and intended for consumers who want to build the best. PC under the AMD platform for creation, entertainment or any computing task.
