We’ve had leaks and rumors about the next generation of AMD processors (the Ryzen 9000) for a few weeks now, but in this case, something “big” has happened, and that’s because an insider from AMD said that the new Zen 5 Architecture that they will embark is capable of outperforming the current Zen 4 by more than 40%, and this when comparing them core to core. If so, of course, the Ryzen9000 They will represent a gigantic leap in performance…
The news comes from @Kepler_L2, a leak which enjoys a very good reputation for the great success of its published information. From what he says it seems that the new AMD Zen 5 architecture will mean, as we said, a huge leap in performance compared to what AMD currently has on the market, and he confirms also that it should arrive in stores in the second half of this year.anus.
AMD Zen 5 vs Zen 4: record performance
According to leakIf we compare the AMD Zen 5 and Zen 4 architectures core to core, Lisa Su’s new architecture outperforms its predecessor by more than 40%. It states that this performance increase is achieved in the SPEC benchmark, but does not indicate what metric this figure is based on (it could be integer or floating point metrics, for example). Either way, this represents an impressive increase in performance.
If this data is true, we would be facing one of the biggest advances in cross-generational performance in AMD’s history, but it wouldn’t be the biggest. It should be remembered that when AMD presented the first Zen base architecture, it had indicated that the objective was to offer an increase in IPC of 40% compared to the previous architecture (Excavator), but the reality was even better because the performance jump represented a 52% increase in IPC.
The Ryzen 9000 could break the mold
Since the launch of the first generation of Ryzen processors, AMD has managed to take off and take on Intel, and although they have not yet managed to surpass Pat Gelsinger’s in terms of market share, many processors AMD are considered the best in different areas, including video. and audio editing or of course games, especially with the X3D variants.
The fact is that although for now we don’t know much about these Ryzen 9000s with Zen 5 architecture, AMD has officially stated that they will (of course) have improved performance and efficiency, with integrated optimizations of AI and machine learning, and that We will see this architecture in at least three families of processors, starting with the already known Granite Ridge, which will be the processors that will reach desktop PCs (in theory retaining the current AM5 platform) .
If AMD really intends to launch this new generation of processors in the second half of this year 2024, many clues indicate that it will not be long before AMD officially presents them or, at least, begins to provide information official on this subject. Luckily, we won’t have to wait long to see if these Ryzen 9000s are as promised, but if they are, we could definitely be looking at a generation worth updating.
