AMD managed to rise from the ashes with the Ryzen series 5 years ago. While it was behind its competitors on the processor and graphics card side for a long time, it suddenly went ahead. But for the last two generations, it has entered a period of stagnation. We’re actually seeing significant performance gains. However, it lags behind in many areas. To close this gap, it introduced the new Ryzen 7000 series last month. Today, it has been revealed that the Ryzen 9 7950X processor will reach high clock speeds.
AMD, Ryzen 9 7950X, pushed all cores above 5 GHz!
According to the latest leak, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X can run all its cores above 5 GHz. In fact, according to the shared data, all 16 cores can perform stably at 5.1 GHz. It can also go up to 5.85 GHz boost frequency without overclocking.
However, in order to obtain these shared data, it is stated that the system must remain below 50 degrees continuously. Considering that even standard processors can easily reach 70-80 degrees without overclocking, we understand that the only solution for this system is a powerful liquid cooler.
Of course, on the other hand, we see that this shared data is only obtained by temperature control. Moreover, the fact that all cores can operate above 5 GHz at the same time is promising on the performance side. Because even a small overclock will provide a noticeable increase. However, the ice at the poles may not be enough for Intel to reach the 8 GHz level reached with the Core i9-13900K. But we look forward to seeing what it can do with liquid nitrogen.
AMD Ryzen 7000 series features
Produced with Zen 4 architecture, the Ryzen 7000 series will be produced with 5nm technology. Models introduced with AM5 socket support PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 technologies. The single-core performance of processors with AMD Zen 4 architecture increased by approximately 29 percent compared to the previous generation processors.
AMD launched the Zen 3 Ryzen 9 5950X model last year with a price tag of $ 799. Introducing the Ryzen 9 7950X processor with Zen 4 architecture this year, the company announced that the new model will be sold for $ 699. The new model will be $100 cheaper than the previous generation.
The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X model, which has an advantage in price, showed a 32 percent performance increase in Dota 2. The processor, which draws attention with a 35 percent increase in the game Shadow of the Tomb Rider, is quite assertive in terms of game performance.
AMD didn’t just promise great gaming performance with its most powerful and highest-spec processor at the event held in Austin today. CEO Lisa Su also showed how far the flagship processor is ahead of Intel’s Core i9 12900K in terms of gaming.
At the event, processor performance was demonstrated with 5 different games, including Cyberpunk 2077 and GTA V. AMD presented the processors it introduced this year to users with a lower price policy than the previous models.
The Ryzen 9 7950X model has 16 cores and 32 threads. The processor, which has a standard clock speed of 4.5GHz, can go up to 5.7GHz when overclocked. The company announced the cache of the processor as 80 MB and the TDP as 170W.
Ryzen 7 7700X processor appeared with 8 cores and 16 threads. The processor, which has a standard clock speed of 4.5GHz, can reach 5.4GHz with overclocking. Introduced with 40 MB cache and 105W TDP, the price of the processor will be $ 399.
In another important comparison image shared by AMD at the event, Intel i9 12900K and AMD Ryzen 5 7600X faced off. In tests at 1080p resolution, the Ryzen 5 7600X performed quite well. In the Middle-earth Shadow of War, F1 2022 and Rainbow Six Siege games, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X model managed to surpass Intel’s flagship processor.
The Ryzen 7000 family will launch on September 27, along with an all-new motherboard chipset and socket. The new X670 and X670 Extreme motherboards will launch simultaneously with many, much more expensive options like Asus, Gigabyte and MSI, starting at $125.
AMD also introduced the next-generation AMD Radeon RX graphics card, powered by the RDNA 3 architecture, expected to be released this year. The demo with the new Ryzen 9 7950X processor tested the highly anticipated 4K gameplay of Lies of P on a pre-production RDNA 3 GPU at ultra settings.
