The I/O chip contains a 2nd generation RDNA graphics unit, as well as DDR5 and PCI Express 5.0 controllers. Those wishing to upgrade to Zen 4 this fall will be offered motherboards with AMD X670E, X670 and B650 logic.
The platform will inherit compatibility with AM4 coolers. Zen 4 features a twofold increase in L2 cache (from 512KB to 1MB per core), more than 15% increase in single-threaded performance relative to Zen 3 and boost-mode frequency over 5 GHz.
A monstrous 16-thread processor with performance on par with previous generation server chips. The model entered the new family of AMD Raphael chips (Zen 4 architecture, 5nm process technology), presented to the public in 2022. The key difference between Zen 4 and previous generations is the transition to the new AM5 socket and DDR5 RAM with a maximum clock speed of 5200 MHz. Like its predecessors on the Zen 2 and Zen 3 architecture, the Ryzen 9 7950X received 16 physical cores with support for multi-threading technology, which, due to core virtualization, can temporarily increase their number to 32 pieces.
The processor starts at a base frequency of 4.5 GHz, and when there is a lack of power, it activates Turbo Boost technology, accelerating to 5.7 GHz. The third level cache is 64 MB, and the total volume of L2 and L3 reaches 80 MB. By increasing clock speeds, increasing cache size, and optimizing the cache architecture and optimized architecture, the single-core performance of Zen 4 cores increased by 29% compared to the third generation.
In order not to limit this monster, AMD increased the nominal power consumption of the processor to 170 watts. And to cool it down, the company strongly recommends abandoning even the coolest tower cooler and getting a full-fledged liquid cooling system with at least two active coolers. In our memory, this is the first consumer processor for which the manufacturer gives such a recommendation. Taking into account the price of the processor itself, the cost of motherboards with AM4 and the high cost of DDR5 memory, this model is designed primarily for overclocking enthusiasts who are not stingy with overpaying for excessive performance for most people.
