The Ryzen 7000 can get up to 170W of power from AM5 motherboards. This is a lot more than the 142W that chips with the Zen3 architecture used to get. They will also work with DDR5 memory, so PCs will be able to have even more RAM.
NEW DELHI: Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a company that makes chips, announced on Monday that it had made the first PC processors using the 5nm process. AMDs new Ryzen 7000 processors were announced at Computex 2022 in Taiwan. They are an upgrade to the Ryzen 5000 chips already on the market.
The company has been working on the new chips for a while. They run on the company’s new Zen 4 architecture, but users will need to buy a new motherboard to use them.
The Ryzen 7000 chips have a new design for the socket, which is the group of pins that connects the processor to the motherboard. The new motherboards, called AM5, also have their improvements. They will have more storage space and up to 14 USB ports.
But the clock speed might be the best thing about the new 16/32-core Ryzen 7000 chips. AMD says the chips’ turbo speeds will be faster than 5GHz, and it showed demos where they reached up to 5.5GHz. This may be why the company says “single threaded performance” is 15 percent faster.

Processors can now do multi-threaded operations, which means that they can run two or more instructions simultaneously. The operating system makes this possible. Single-threaded performance is still needed for many apps and games, though. For example, games and apps can start up faster with better single-threaded performance.
Still, all this performance seems to come at the expense of power use, at least for now. AMD says that the AM5 motherboards will give the AMD new Ryzen 7000 up to 170W of power, which is a lot more than the 142W power chips that used to be used with the Zen3 architecture. They will also work with DDR5 memory, so PCs will be able to have even more RAM.
Intel’s fastest chip on the market, the Core i9-12900KS, has a turbo speed of 5.5GHz, which is the same as AMD’s demo. Intel said last year that it will start making chips with 5nm technology in 2024. This gives AMD a good head start on the company. Intel will call the way it makes things with 5nm “Intel 20A.”
Mercury Research’s report on CPU market share in December 2021 showed that AMD had 25.6% of the global market for x86-based (Intel’s architecture, which is used by most PC chips) chips by the end of 2021. This was the most market share AMD has ever had. The company’s last time this much of the market was in 2006 when it had 25.3% of the market.
Part of AMD’s success has been attributed to the fact that its Zen3 architecture has improved the performance of its chips and that the company moved to new manufacturing nodes faster than Intel. With a two-year head start, AMD could grow its market share.
