Chip manufacturer AMD has unintentionally released a lot of info about its Ryzen 7000 chips for desktops. That could only happen in the fall.
If you were curious about the long-awaited desktop processors in the Ryzen 7000 series, you should not wait until autumn. A list of various models from the Ryzen 7000 series accidentally appeared on the AMD website, which has since been taken offline again. That reports Gizmodo.
Ryzen 7000 leaked
The focus is apparently on the high-end chips, including two Ryzen 9 variants (the 7900X and 7950X), a Ryzen 7 (the 7700X) and a Ryzen 5 model (the 7600X). Ryzen 3 chips were nowhere to be found, although that shouldn’t be surprising. AMD usually focuses on the top products in the early stages of new CPU releases.
The list did not contain any technical details. Yet we already know a thing or two about the new chips. In its Computex demo, AMD showed a 16-core CPU that reached a clock speed of 5.5GHz. It may be the Ryzen 9 7950X.
Zen 4 architecture
All CPUs in the 7000 series are built on a new Zen 4 architecture that can deliver twice as much Level 2 cache per core. In addition, boost speeds above 5GHz become possible, as well as AI acceleration and support for technology such as DDR5 RAM and PCIe 5.0. Those features require an AM5-compatible motherboard. AMD already promises a 15 percent increase in single-threaded performance.
It is not yet clear when AMD will be able to market the Ryzen 7000 chips for desktops. There is still much speculation about the prices. The high-end chips for laptops will have to wait a while. The AMD Ryzen 7000 Dragon Range is not scheduled for release until 2023.
