AMD Self-Leaks its Initial Lineup of Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 CPUs

Quick-thinking customers have noticed an odd listing on AMD’s resource page (since eliminated) that make clear the names of its 7000 collection CPUs. As first observed by Videocardz on Wednesday, AMD’s listing contained SKUs for its upcoming 7000 collection processors, together with the Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 7900x, Ryzen 7 7700X, and Ryzen 5 7600X. Despite the bounty of 7s there, the sharpest amongst you will discover they’re lacking a Ryzen 7 7800X or any kind of Ryzen 3 7000 collection CPU. That’s a little bit of a disgrace for finances and mid-range avid gamers. The 7800X had additionally beforehand been hinted at by constant leaker Greymon over on Twitter.

So there’s not a lot else to go on right here apart from the names of those CPUs in addition to obvious timing for launch, proper? Well, based mostly on what’s AMD’s beforehand demoed, the leaked names do trace that the Ryzen 9 7950X may prime out at 16 cores and 32-thread connections, whereas the following lowest within the collection may do 12 cores, then 8, then 6. The final we heard about these CPUs, the phrase on the road was they’d include as much as 16 cores, serving to them dash above 5GHz speeds. During an AMD presentation, a 16-core Zen 4 chip clocked in at 5.5GHz whereas enjoying Ghostwire: Tokyo. Of course, that was a managed surroundings, nevertheless it provides us a foundation to guess about core distribution throughout the Zen 4 line.

As many “7s” as there are in these names, there’s additionally lots of 5s going round, with PCIe Gen 5 controllers and DDR5 reminiscence help being key options for the Raphael line. The new CPU technology may even want an AM5 motherboard socket, which would require a 1718-pin LGA motherboard.

Those motherboards embody the B650, X670, and X670 Extreme chipsets. The latter two will include the {hardware} wanted for the PCIe Gen 5 graphics tech.

We nonetheless don’t know many specifics about pricing, and with the state of the present chip manufacturing market, it might be silly to start out making guesses. Tright here have been rumors of a mid-September launch, in response to Tom’s Hardware, although after all mileage could fluctuate considerably for unannounced launch dates.

Regardless, AMD is clearly establishing its top-finish CPUs to compete towards the likes of Intel and its upcoming Core i9-13900 CPU. That processor’s rumored to rock 24 cores (32 threads) which can be apparently cut up between one third efficiency and two thirds effectivity cores. It’s additionally rumored to help as much as DDR5-5600 reminiscence and help a max clock pace of three.7Ghz, higher than a comparable Ryzen 9 5900X.
