AMD AM5 platform will be released on September 15
AMD announced the Zen 4 architecture Ryzen 7000 series processors and the new AM5 platform at the Computex Taipei conference. The new generation of Ryzen 7000 processors use Zen 4 cores and are built using TSMC’s 5nm process. The newly built Zen 4 core has doubled the L2 cache, and the capacity has been increased from 512KB to 1MB in the previous three generations of Zen architecture. The single-threaded performance of the processor has been improved by more than 15%, and it has a boost clock of 5GHz+. It supports the AVX-512 instruction set, and the IOD integrates DDR5 and PCI-E 5.0 controllers, as well as an RDNA 2 architecture GPU, adding a 170W TDP version.
In terms of release time, it was said to be released this fall, now we know the specific time, Twitter user @wxnod sent a photo, this is a dealer meeting, it is written on the slide that the AM5 platform will be released on September 15, that is to say, the Ryzen 7000 processor may be launched more than a month earlier than the Radeon 7000 graphics card. The Ryzen 5000 processor with Zen 3 architecture was released in November 2020, while the Radeon 6000 graphics card was released in December.
In addition, @greymon55 also revealed that the first Ryzen 7000 processor will include Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 7900X, Ryzen 7 7800X, and Ryzen 5 7600X. It is the same as the previous Ryzen 5000 launch model. If there is no accident, the number of core threads will also remain the same. In addition, he also revealed that AMD is considering launching Zen 4 products using the AM4 platform to be compatible with DDR4 memory. In terms of the structure of the AMD Ryzen processor, it is actually possible. You can use Zen 4’s CCD with the current AM4 platform’s IOD, but this is just a plan of AMD, and it is not sure whether this product will actually be launched.
