Zen 6: How Many Cores Will AMD’s New Desktop Processors Have?

Processors, News | | Jan Olšan

Recently, we’ve covered upcoming Intel products a lot, but here’s something for the fans of AMD looking forward to its next-generation Zen 6 architecture processors to be excited about. In addition to new cores and a newly designed I/O chiplet—expected to deliver better memory performance and lower power consumption—Zen 6 is primarily set to increase core counts.And the actual core counts for various individual models has now surfaced online.

New X3D Ryzens to eliminate clock issues, 192MB model on the way

CPU coolers, News | | Jan Olšan

In August, we had a report that AMD is preparing new Ryzen 9000 processors aimed at gamers: a 16-core chip that would no longer have its large 3D V-Cache only on half the cores (or better said under, as the cache die sits beneath the core die), but on both, and a new gaming 8-core with V-Cache. The specifications have now surfaced, and it looks like both CPUs could be a bigger surprise than expected. Read more “New X3D Ryzens to eliminate clock issues, 192MB model on the way” »

Ryzen 5 7400F delid: Grease instead of solder in cheap AMD CPUs?

News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

Last month AMD introduced a new budget processor for the AM5 platform, the Ryzen 5 7400F. It should cost even less than the 7500F, but it’s still a full-fledged Zen 4 hexa-core with 32MB of cache and PCIe 5.0 ×16 support for the GPU, so price-wise it’s probably AMD’s best candidate for an affordable non-AM4 gaming PC. It does seem to have one drawback that sets it apart from more expensive models, though. Read more “Ryzen 5 7400F delid: Grease instead of solder in cheap AMD CPUs?” »

PC Cooling Guide: Heating Up Ryzen 9 7950X in Cinebench

Cooling, Extra tests, PC cases | | Adam Vágner

Today, we’ll focus on what happens inside a case when a CPU is under heavy load. We’ll run a Cinebench 2024 rendering on a Ryzen R9 7950X cooled by a Noctua NH-D15 G2 air cooler with AM5 offset mounting bars and see how it affects the temperatures and how all the values change with different settings of the system fans’ performance across their entire operating speed range.

AM5 socket and Ryzen 7000 shown. Zen 4 capable of 5 GHz all-core

News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

AMD has announced the release of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU with 3D V-Cache technology bound for spring and also talked its desktop CPU successors with Zen 4 architecture, planned to arrive this year. The company has shared the first pictures of the Ryzen 7000 CPUs and their AM5 sockets. AMD has further shown a demo, according to which the Zen 4 should be able to reach 5 GHz clocks on all cores, a great news for the 5nm technology. Read more “AM5 socket and Ryzen 7000 shown.
