New AMD Socket AM5 platform combines with world’s first 5nm desktop PC processors to deliver powerhouse performance for gamers and content creators

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) reve­a­led the Ryzen™ 7000 Series Desk­top pro­ces­sor lin­e­up powered by the new “Zen 4” archi­tec­tu­re, ushe­ring in the next era of high per­for­mance for gamers, enthu­si­asts, and con­tent crea­tors. Fea­turing up to 16 cores, 32 threads and built on an opti­mi­zed, high-per­for­mance, TSMC 5nm pro­cess node, the Ryzen 7000 Series pro­ces­sors deli­ver domi­nant per­for­mance and lea­der­ship ener­gy effi­ci­en­cy. Com­pared to the pre­vious gene­ra­ti­on, AMD Ryzen 7950X pro­ces­sor enables sin­gle-core per­for­mance impro­ve­ment of up to +29%², up to 45% more com­pu­te for con­tent crea­tors in POV Ray³, up to 15% fas­ter gam­ing per­for­mance in sel­ect titles⁴, and up to 27% bet­ter per­for­mance-per-watt⁵. AMD’s most expan­si­ve desk­top plat­form to date, the new Socket AM5 plat­form is desi­gned for lon­ge­vi­ty with sup­port through 2025.

“The AMD Ryzen 7000 Series brings lea­der­ship gam­ing per­for­mance, extra­or­di­na­ry power for con­tent crea­ti­on, and advan­ced sca­la­bi­li­ty with the new AMD Socket AM5,” Saeid Mosh­kela­ni, seni­or vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Cli­ent busi­ness unit, AMD. “With the next gene­ra­ti­on Ryzen 7000 Series Desk­top pro­ces­sors, we are proud to uphold our pro­mi­se of lea­der­ship and con­ti­nuous inno­va­ti­on, deli­ve­ring the ulti­ma­te PC expe­ri­ence for gamers and crea­tors alike.”

AMD Ryzen 7000 Series Desk­top Processors

The AMD Ryzen 7000 Series once again deli­vers a dou­ble-digit IPC uplift over “Zen 3”⁶, fur­ther soli­di­fy­ing a track record of inno­va­ti­on, exe­cu­ti­on, and deli­very of the award-win­ning “Zen” archi­tec­tu­re. The world’s first high-per­for­mance x86 5nm CPU, the Ryzen 7000 Series ushers in the remar­kab­le speed of “Zen 4” archi­tec­tu­re, advan­cing gam­ing and con­tent crea­ti­on per­for­mance lea­der­ship to new levels.

At the top of the stack, the 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 7950X pro­ces­sor offers up to 57% bet­ter con­tent crea­ti­on per­for­mance in V‑Ray Ren­der com­pared to the com­pe­ti­ti­on⁷. Mean­while, even the 6‑core AMD Ryzen 5 7600X pro­ces­sor offers an avera­ge of 5% fas­ter gam­ing per­for­mance across sel­ect titles than the competitor’s flag­ship gam­ing pro­ces­sor⁴.

The incre­di­ble per­for­mance impro­ve­ments also come with stun­ning advan­ces in ener­gy effi­ci­en­cy; AMD Ryzen 7950X pro­ces­sor is up to 47% more ener­gy effi­ci­ent than the com­pe­ti­ti­on⁸. Bey­ond the core, the Ryzen 7000 Series Pro­ces­sors fea­ture an all-new 6nm I/O die, which enables hard­ware-acce­le­ra­ted video encode/decode⁹, light-duty gra­phics work and mul­ti-dis­play sup­port. Across the CPU, a host of new power manage­ment tech­no­lo­gies lever­a­ged from AMD’s ultra-effi­ci­ent mobi­le pro­ces­sors allow Ryzen 7000 Series Desk­top pro­ces­sors to run more effi­ci­ent­ly than ever before.

Ryzen 7000 Series Desk­top pro­ces­sors are expec­ted to be available glo­bal­ly from lea­ding etail­ers and retail­ers begin­ning Sep­tem­ber 27, start­ing at an SEP of $299 USD.

Model	Cores/Threads	Boost10/  Base Frequency	Total Cache	PCIe®	TDP	SEP  (USD)

New AMD Socket AM5 Updates

With the intro­duc­tion of the Ryzen 7000 Series Desk­top pro­ces­sors, AMD also unvei­led the new Socket AM5 plat­form, offe­ring cut­ting-edge con­nec­ti­vi­ty fea­tures like dual-chan­nel DDR5 memo­ry. The AM5 plat­form also includes up to 24 PCIe® 5.0 lanes, making it AMD’s most expan­si­ve desk­top plat­form to date. Sup­port for new and evol­ving tech­no­lo­gies like PCIe® Gen 5 and DDR5 memo­ry empowers users to grow with their Socket AM5 solu­ti­on, which AMD will sup­port with plat­form lon­ge­vi­ty through 2025 and beyond.

The new Socket AM5 mother­board fami­ly fea­tures four new chip­sets, giving users the power and fle­xi­bi­li­ty to choo­se the exact fea­tures they want. The four chip­sets feature:

• AMD X670 Extre­me: Brin­ging the most con­nec­ti­vi­ty and extre­me over­clo­cking capa­bi­li­ties¹¹ with PCIe 5.0 sup­port for gra­phics and storage
• AMD X670: Sup­port­ing enthu­si­ast over­clo­cking with PCIe® 5.0 sup­port for sto­rage and optio­nal gra­phics support
• AMD B650E: Desi­gned for per­for­mance users with PCIe® 5.0 sto­rage sup­port and optio­nal gra­phics support
• AMD B650: Desi­gned for main­stream users with sup­port for DDR5 memo­ry and optio­nal PCIe® 5.0 support

New mother­boards will be available start­ing at an SEP of $125 USD, with the AMD X670 and X670E chip­sets arri­ving in Sep­tem­ber, and AMD B650E and B650 chip­sets in October.

AMD EXPO™ Technology

New for the Ryzen 7000 Series Desk­top pro­ces­sors and opti­mi­zed for AMD Socket AM5 mother­boards, AMD EXPO™ tech­no­lo­gy pro­vi­des users with advan­ced pro­fi­le set­tings for DDR5 memo­ry over­clo­cking¹¹. When opti­mi­zed for high-per­for­mance gam­ing, con­su­mers can expect to see up to 11% fas­ter gam­ing per­for­mance with AMD EXPO tech­no­lo­gy in F1® 2022¹².

AMD EXPO tech­no­lo­gy was desi­gned to achie­ve hig­her gam­ing per­for­mance from pre-con­fi­gu­red over­clo­cking pro­files¹¹ and is easy to imple­ment. PC enthu­si­asts who want to under­stand the finer details of an AMD EXPO tech­no­lo­gy-enab­led modu­le can find public self-cer­ti­fi­ca­ti­on reports, which cle­ar­ly lay out the module’s full timing table, com­pon­ents, and the sys­tem con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on used to fina­li­ze the memory’s spe­ci­fi­ca­ti­ons. AMD is offe­ring EXPO tech­no­lo­gy to its indus­try memo­ry part­ners wit­hout royal­ties or licen­sing fees.

AMD EXPO tech­no­lo­gy arri­ves to mar­ket along­side the AMD Ryzen 7000 Series pro­ces­sors, with offe­rings from ADATA, Cor­sair, GeIL, G.SKILL, and King­s­ton. Over 15 AMD EXPO tech­no­lo­gy-enab­led memo­ry kits will be initi­al­ly available, with memo­ry speeds up to DDR5-6400.
