In case you weren’t aware of what’s to come this year and in a few months, reality once again exceeds fiction, as Intel and AMD have insisted on getting there first and thus kicking off the game. state before the other reacts. The problem is that AMD is going to compete with the second generation of the LGA1700 socket from intel i.e. with an evolution of what’s now present and on sale with core 12 so it’s disappointing that lisa su’s newest rivals an upgrade from intel which being the last, it will not be a new architecture from scratch as such.
Ryzen 7000 and X670 boards reportedly ready soon
There is a presentation date that is gaining more and more momentum for AMD, and it is none other than Computex 2022, which will be held in just a month and a half, so we are really close to knowing the details of the Ryzen 7000.
The curious fact is that even if said presentation is made on this key date, the processors will not arrive until at least the middle of the third quarter, which means that availability will be at least 3 months as Lisa Su fires the tee shot.
Last week we already saw the first leak of an AMD chipset for this platform, the B650, where curiously we don’t know anything about the X670 as such, the main supporter of the title of best option for gaming and overclocking, but at the same time it indicates that the deadlines we have mentioned are being met.
Where is the novelty as such? Well, in the fact that AMD is saving the best Ryzen 7000 processors for next year and this fact has a very interesting reason: V-Cache 3D.
Overloaded production lines and high price
The Ryzen 7000 that will be shown in this first round will not include the 3D cache that AMD used in the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and gave them such good results in games. So much so that with a lower processor price, a more solid platform over time, less expensive and without spending huge sums on DDR5 they managed to match the best of Intel in games, the main objective of the Lisa Su’s team in this market segment.
Therefore, and given this move, if the production lines are going to be dedicated to Ryzen 7000 CPUs without that extra cache, that means at least those CPUs are as fast as Intel’s Raptor Lake and the new Ryzen 7000 with Zen 4 3D which will arrive in 2023, they are the direct competition of Meteor Lake, also without changing the platform. A cool success from AMD? Or do you have serial production problems with the 5 nm and 3D V-Cache with TSMC?
Let’s not forget that AMD will increase quarterly with its partner from 20,000 units to 50,000 units of the 5800X3Dso it’s clear that the volume ramp wasn’t the best at first and maybe they wanted to avoid that with the Ryzen 7000 3D and save the performance leap to take on Intel as Zen 5 arrives.
