The latest information from AMD’s new generation Zen 5 processors says that the company will make a huge leap in terms of performance. According to the statements, the new CPU design is reported to provide more than 30 percent performance increase compared to the Zen 4 architecture used in Ryzen 7000 series processors. This will make Zen 5 the biggest upgrade since the original Zen CPUs were released in 2017.Zen 5 architecture can take big leap in performance
Behind these claims is RedGamingTech. According to the statements, the 16-core variant of Zen 5 will achieve approximately 49,000 points in the multi-threaded operation of Cinebench R23. It should be noted that in the same test, the Ryzen 9 7950X scored approximately 38,000 points. It is claimed that a similar scenario will occur in sub-configurations. On the number of instructions per cycle, or on the IPC side, an increase of 20-25 percent is envisaged. Therefore, it is thought that most of the performance will come from this side, that is, not due to rising frequencies.
In a news we made at the beginning of April, we talked about a presentation by Jim Keller (an important name in the development of Zen architecture, the image above is his presentation). Jim Keller said that Zen 5 is 30 percent better than Zen 4 in terms of performance and 23 percent in terms of IPC gain. The new claims therefore coincide with previous credible claims. When we consider the numbers, we can say that Zen 5 will make the biggest leap in the series. The biggest performance difference before that was in the transition from Zen 2 to Zen 3.Meanwhile, there is also talk that AMD will not use a hybrid design for Zen 5. As it is known, Intel uses a hybrid design with performance and efficiency cores as P-Core and E-Core. AMD was expected to do this with the Zen 5 and Zen 5c as well, but apparently that won’t be the case for the desktop. On the laptop side, we can see Zen 5 and smaller Zen 5c cores in APUs.
What does the official information say?
All of the above is based on rumors, albeit strong ones. On the official side, we have important information for a while. We have conveyed these to you in our news about Zen 5. To summarize, the Zen 5 series will enter the market as follows:- Zen 5 – 4nm (2024)
- Zen 5 V-Cache – 4nm (2024+)
- Zen 5C – 3nm – (2024+)
A completely new microarchitecture focused on performance and efficiency will be used in the Ryzen 8000 family with Zen 5 architecture, which will be released in the second half of 2024. The architecture will also be specifically optimized for AI and machine learning. Zen 5 will also come with 3D V-Cache and optimized Compute Unit and will use 4nm lithography. The intermediate architecture, called Zen 5C, will move to the 3nm production process and take the company one step further in terms of efficiency.
