At COMPUTEX 2022, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) showcased
its latest innovations in computing technology to advance the high-performance
computing experience. AMD Chair and CEO Dr. Lisa Su provided a look at the upcoming
Ryzen 7000 Series desktop processors with the new “Zen 4” architecture, which
are set to deliver a significant increase in performance upon their launch in
the fall of 2022. Additionally, Dr. Su highlighted the strong growth and
momentum for AMD in the mobile market as 70 of the more than 200 expected
ultrathin, gaming and commercial notebook designs powered by Ryzen 6000 Series
processors have been launched or announced to-date. In addition, other AMD
executives announced the newest addition to the Ryzen Mobile lineup,
“Mendocino;” the newest AMD smart technology, SmartAccess Storage; and more
details of the new AM5 platform, including support from leading motherboard
manufacturers.
“At Computex 2022 we
highlighted growing adoption of AMD in ultrathin, gaming and commercial
notebooks from the leading PC providers based on the leadership performance and
battery life of our Ryzen 6000 series mobile processors,” said Dr. Su. “With
our upcoming AMD Ryzen 7000 Series desktop processors, we will bring even more
leadership to the desktop market with our next-generation 5nm ‘Zen 4’
architecture and provide an unparalleled, high-performance computing experience
for gamers and creators.”
AMD Ryzen 7000 Series
Desktop Processors
Continuing to expand on
the innovation and leadership performance of the Ryzen 5000 Series desktop
processors, the new Ryzen 7000 Series desktop processors are based on the
extremely efficient 5nm “Zen 4” architecture. The new processors will double
the amount of L2 cache per core, feature higher clock speeds, and are projected
to provide greater than 15% uplift in single-thread performance versus the
prior generation, for an unmatched desktop PC experience. During the keynote, a pre-production Ryzen
7000 Series desktop processor was demonstrated running at 5.5 GHz clock speed
throughout AAA game play. The same processor was also demonstrated performing
more than 30% faster than an Intel Core i9 12900K in a Blender multi-threaded
rendering workload.
In addition to new “Zen
4” compute dies, the Ryzen 7000 series features an all-new 6nm I/O die. The new
I/O die includes AMD RDNA 2-based graphics engine, a new low-power architecture
adopted from AMD Ryzen mobile processors, support for the latest memory and connectivity
technologies like DDR5 and PCI Express® 5.0, and support for up to 4 displays.
AMD Socket AM5 Platform
The new AMD Socket AM5
platform provides advanced connectivity for our most demanding enthusiasts.
This new socket features a 1718-pin LGA design with support for up to 170W TDP
processors, dual-channel DDR5 memory, and new SVI3 power infrastructure for
leading all-core performance with our Ryzen 7000 Series processors. AMD Socket
AM5 features the most PCIe 5.0 lanes in the industry with up to 24 lanes,
making it our fastest, largest, and most expansive desktop platform with
support for the next-generation and beyond class of storage and graphics cards.
The AM5 family features three levels
of motherboards:
·
X670 Extreme: Bringing the most connectivity and extreme
overclocking capabilities with PCIe 5.0 support for two graphics slots and one
storage slot
·
X670: Supporting enthusiast overclocking with PCIe 5.0
support on one storage slot with graphics support optional
·
B650: Designed for performance users with PCIe 5.0 storage
support
Motherboard models spanning all
three chipsets are expected from partners including Asrock, Asus, Biostar,
Gigabyte, and MSI, and PCIe 5.0 storage solutions will be available from a
multitude of partners including Crucial, Micron, and Phison.
Expanding the AMD Ryzen
Mobile Portfolio
With an incredible
combination of performance and value, the new “Mendocino” processors will offer
great everyday performance and are expected to be priced from US $399-$699.
Featuring “Zen 2” cores and RDNA 2 architecture-based graphics, the processors
are designed to deliver the best battery life and performance in the price band
so users can get the most out of their laptop at an attractive price.
The first systems featuring
the new “Mendocino” processors will be available from OEM partners in Q4 2022.
AMD Advantage Systems
and AMD SmartAccess Storage
AMD Advantage laptops
are designed to deliver great gaming experiences, offering state-of-the-art
performance, beautiful high-refresh rate displays, great battery life and more.
AMD Advantage systems feature AMD smart technologies, a collection of advanced
capabilities that enable AMD CPUs and GPUs to work cohesively to help eliminate
system bottlenecks and deliver maximum performance and efficiency. AMD today
unveiled the latest addition to the smart technology family, AMD SmartAccess
Storage, which supports Microsoft DirectStorage and utilizes AMD Smart Access
Memory technology and other AMD technologies to help reduce game load times and
accelerate texture streaming. More information about AMD SmartAccess Storage
will be provided in the coming months.
New AMD Advantage
systems are available from a number of OEMs, including systems from Alienware,
Asus, Lenovo, and HP, and now also include system integrator designs from
Metamechbook and Origin PC.
Corsair is also
launching their first-ever laptop designed for gamers and streamers,
exclusively with AMD Advantage, including an integrated 10-key streaming
command center powered by Elgato’s popular Stream Deck software, and a 1080p
high-fidelity streaming grade webcam.
