It was said that the new AMD Ryzen R9 7950X processor will come with 16 cores and 32 threads. It was claimed that AMD, which will not change the core numbers, will focus on IPC and boostclock. It was among the news that AMD, which will go above 5 GHz in the new X series family, will increase the game performance significantly. However, with a new claim from China, expectations have risen.
24-core AMD Ryzen R9 7950X is on the way
A Chinese vendor selling on Weibo has announced that contrary to current claims, the new Ryzen 7000 series will be offered with 24 cores and 48 threads. On the other hand, the Ryzen R9 7950X is likely to have a TDP of 170 W. The image of the Chinese seller sharing the features of the new processor created great surprise. Because until now, there was no information that AMD was in such a preparation.
AMD may have followed such a path against Intel’s 24-core Raptor Lake processor. As it is known, Intel could not achieve the desired success in 11th generation processors and started to work on 24-core Raptor Lake. It plans to double the efficiency rate in Intel’s 13th generation processors with 24 cores.
In recent days, dominated by AMD processors, Intel wants to surpass its Zen 4-based rival with its new and more efficient processor. If Intel finds success with Raptor Lake, it’s quite possible that AMD has prepared a response to it.
It is thought that a 24-core processor can run smoothly with 5 nm Zen 4. The Ryzen 9 7900X/7950X is estimated to run at 5.2-5.6 GHz, which is slightly faster than the 5.2-5.4 GHz expected for the octa-core Ryzen 7 7800X.
We can say that a 24-core Ryzen 9 7000 Series processor will cost around $ 1,000. The 24-core processor, which is expected to be released after other models, will most likely show itself after the high-end Raptor Lake CPUs.
