Dr. Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD, has as we speak introduced the corporate’s subsequent technology mainstream Ryzen processor. The new household, often called the Ryzen 5000 collection, contains 4 components and helps as much as sixteen cores. The key aspect of the brand new product is the core design, with AMD’s newest Zen Three microarchitecture, promising a 19% uncooked improve in performance-per-clock, properly above latest generational enhancements. The new processors are socket-compatible with current 500-series motherboards, and will likely be obtainable at retail from November 5th. AMD is placing a transparent marker within the sand, calling considered one of its halo merchandise as ‘The World’s Best Gaming CPU’. We have particulars.
Four Processors, All Coming November 5th
With the brand new Ryzen 5000 collection, AMD is maintaining the same construction to the earlier technology. The first 4 processors to market will embrace merchandise in the important thing Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 segments, in addition to a pair of high-performance components with Ryzen 9. These will stretch from six cores to sixteen cores, with elevated frequencies and elevated performance-per-clock, however with no extra improve in energy. The processors are nonetheless chiplet-based, with one chiplet having both six or eight cores. Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 can have one chiplet, whereas Ryzen 9 can have two chiplets – the straightforward solution to determine that is by the quantity of L3 cache every processor has.

Ryzen 9 5950X
Sitting on the highest of the processor line is the brand new halo Ryzen 9 5950X. With 16 cores and 32 threads, it has a listed base frequency of three.Four GHz and a lift frequency of 4.9 GHz. With two chiplets it has the total 64 MB of L3 cache, and the 105 W rated TDP is the same as the 16-core equal of the earlier technology. This processor will retail barely greater than the earlier technology, with AMD making the transfer from $749 MSRP to $799 MSRP.
The Ryzen 9 5950X’s principal competitors is both a AMD chip within the Ryzen 9 3950X, which at the moment retails for $710, or Intel’s 18-core high-end desktop processor, the Core i9-10980XE, seen as little as $803.
Ryzen 9 5900X
The second processor is the Ryzen 9 5900X, which provides 12 cores and 24 threads, utilizing two six-core chiplets and having a full 64 MB of L3 cache. With a base frequency of three.7 GHz and a turbo frequency of 4.eight GHz, AMD is looking this processor the ‘World’s Best Gaming CPU’. This is probably going due to the decrease core depend than the opposite Ryzen 9 permitting barely greater frequencies when a sport masses up a number of of the cores – the six cores per chiplet lowers the thermal density when working, enabling greater frequencies. The prolonged L3 cache per chiplet (defined later) reduces the efficient latency by permitting extra knowledge to be saved earlier than principal reminiscence entry is required. This Ryzen 9 5900X additionally has a 105 W TDP, and the value of this 12-core can be barely greater, transferring from $499 MSRP to $549 MSRP.
AMD says that the Ryzen 9 5900X, at $549, is predicted to compete instantly in opposition to Intel’s Core i9-10900Okay, which has an MSRP of $529. The Core i9-10900Okay is at the moment overpriced at retail, because of restricted inventory – the Core i9-10850Okay, which is across the $499 mark and obtainable at retail, is perhaps the extra ‘actual world’ competitors.
Ryzen 7 5800X
The Ryzen 7 5800X is predicted to comply with within the footsteps of the favored Ryzen 7 3700X, which at the moment sits…
