AMD revealed price, performance, some release dates, and more about the upcoming RDNA 3 graphics cards and Ryzen 7000 series processors during its \u201ctogether we advance_PCs\u201d livestream<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

Four CPUs using the new Zen 4 desktop processing architecture (codenamed \u201cRaphael\u201d) will launch on September 27th, 2022. The flagship Ryzen 9 7950X chip will cost $699 at launch and features 16 cores, 32 threads, and a boost clock of up to 5.7GHz. <\/p>\n

The three other processors include the Ryzen 9 7900X (12 cores, 24 threads and a 5.6GHz boost) for $549, the Ryzen 7 7700X (8 cores, 16 threads and a 5.3GHz boost) for $399, and the budget Ryzen 5 7600X (6 cores, 12 threads and a 5.3 GHz boost) for $299. AMD claimed during the presentation that the Zen4 processors have a 13 percent IPC uplift over the previous Zen 3 (Ryzen 5000 series) generation, up from the 8-10 percent uplift claimed when the architecture was teased at Computex 2022.<\/p>\n

Other claims include up to a 29 percent increase in single-thread performance, but take these predictions with a pinch of salt until they\u2019re publicly released and available for external benchmarking. Some of the estimated increases are vague, such as a claimed 6 to 35 percent performance boost in games when comparing the new Ryzen 9 7950X to its predecessor, the Ryzen 9 5950X.<\/p>\n

As for how long-time market rival Intel fits into this, AMD compared its latest flagships performance to that of the Intel i9-12900K in the V-Ray benchmark where the Zen 4 processor displayed up to 47 percent better performance per watt, and a potential improvement of 57 percent in raytracing. Just remember, this is a single benchmark out of many and it\u2019s within AMDs interests to make this launch attractive to consumers looking to upgrade their desktop PCs. We will get a more accurate picture of performance comparison when impartial benchmark tests can be carried out.<\/p>\n

While absent from the presentation, the AMD website confirms that all four Ryzen 7000 SKUs will have integrated Radeon RDNA 2 graphics. Each Raphael CPU will feature 2 graphics cores, each with 64 stream processors, with a boost clock of up to 2.2GHz. Before anyone gets excited about its gaming capabilities, it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll want to snub a full desktop graphics card in favor of this built-in alternative, as the integrated GPU will only be sufficient for tasks such as basic content creation and display outputs.<\/p>\n

There are a few important things from the presentation to note if you are<\/em> planning to upgrade or build a new PC anytime soon. Firstly, this generation of AMD processors will use the AM5 socket platform, which means you\u2019ll have to upgrade your motherboard. AM5 motherboards pricing will start from $125, and will be supported at least until 2025, coinciding nicely with the predicted launch of Zen 5 in 2024.<\/p>\n
