No matter how good the RAM memory you install in your PC, ultimately its performance will always depend on the processor-integrated memory controller (IMC); the BMI It is a digital circuit that controls the flow of data which passes between the processor and the RAM memory, and the fact that it is integrated in the processor makes it possible to manage the RAM in a more direct and faster way than when these controllers were integrated. to the motherboard.
AMD, on the throne of RAM performance with Cézanne and his IMC
In the screenshot above, you can see in the memory pin of Aida64 to an eight-core AMD Cezanne APU (for some reason they’ve covered the exact model, and that’s because it’s scheduled to launch precisely on the 5th of this month; in any case, based on the number of cores and from the speed, it seems clear that it is a AMD Ryzen 7 5700G
This level of performance is quite impressive, at the height of quad-channel memory systems and that of course leaves everything that Intel and AMD had in the market so far, well, until systems with memory. RAM arrive. of DDR4 RAM is around 50-60MB / s.
We don’t have much time left before we can confirm these data if in the end it is true that AMD is launching in just two days, but if it did, we would above all be a milestone in the history of those in red because as we mentioned at the beginning, traditionally AMD It has always been far behind Intel when it comes to the performance of its memory controller, whether in APU or CPU.
AMD Cezanne: the Ryzen 5000 with Zen 3 and RDNA2
According to the leaks that have occurred in recent weeks and months, AMD will initially present three Cezanne APU models based on the new Zen 3 architecture and with RDNA 2 graphics.
On the one hand, we have the AMD Ryzen 3 5400G which carries 4 cores and 8 processing threads at a base frequency of 4 GHz and 4.2 GHz turbo, with 8 MB of L3 cache, Vega 5 graphics and a TDP of 65 W. We also find the Ryzen 5 5600G with 6 cores and 12 threads at 3.9 GHz base and 4.4 GHz Turbo, accompanied by 16 MB of L3 cache, Vega 7 graphics and 65W of TDP. Finally, the flagship APU would be the Ryzen 7 5700G with 8 cores and 16 threads at 3.8 GHz base and 4.6 GHz Boost, with 16 MB of L3 cache, an integrated Vega 8 graphics card at 2.1 GHz and also 65W by TDP.
Now that we know the memory performance data of these APUs, there is no doubt that AMD Cezanne is becoming much more attractive than before, but as always when we are faced with a leak we must take the information with care and we have no choice but to wait for official confirmation from the manufacturer to be able to take the data as good.
