AMD Ryzen 7000 Series Processor Model Numbers Tumble Out

Somewhat like

6000 is a mobil series

Going to be a PITA differentiating between 7000 series gpu/cpu….

With the conversations today between Biden and Xi, Taiwan is becoming an extremely hot spot in geopolitics, to the brink of conflict. American chip designers better find backup solutions and invest dollars to have an alternative source beyond TSMC.

Call me skeptical but I am pretty sure they are doing this because the 8 core zen 4 will not match the speed of the 5800X3D... hence 7700X

The 7700X will destroy the 5800X3D in everything except things that very specifically love the huge amount of L3 cache.

It is worth noting that the AMD Zen 4 CPU's with 3D V-Cache will launch much sooner after Zen 4 than they did with the Zen 3 lineup. There is a very high chance that AMD will launch them if Intel's next gen CPU lineup beats Zen 4, if not they will do so whenever they feel like it. As Zen 5 is expected to be released about 1-year (give or take) after Zen 4 (available in September), the 3D V-cache models will likely be released around May (that is a guesstimate, not what I have heard).

As for the question of why 7700X rather than the 7800X, they may just be holding that model back until / if they need it, or perhaps there will never be a 7800X, instead replacing that model with the 7800X3D with a heap of L3 cache and ramp the performance (and power) to the max to own the gaming CPU crown.

Has it ever been necessary to upgrade a CPU so quickly anyway...?

yes because we are in the golden age of CPU, its so excited, to be able to upgrade so often again with decent improvement in performance

Nah the golden age of CPU is way past us, I think.

All we have now is scaling up, and up, and up... also in power. My definition of progress is a different one.

I agree, chiplet, big.little and cache + interconnect are interesting. But now we're getting the baby steps forward again. Plus; Ryzen was playing catch-up until recently and now we're back to very small generational jumps in both camps fighting over a crown again. Its competitive, but its no golden age at all.

The gaps between one gen of Ryzen don't really justify new CPUs at the same tier, only enthusiasts are in that territory. And in the Intel camp, the situation is arguably worse.

The 'golden age of CPU' also has a cost component to it. Upgrading to Sandy Bridge was the golden age of CPU - 200~250 bucks worth of CPU would get you five to seven years of top-end performance. And it ended at Haswell. Prior to that, it was the jump to dual core. And in the case of Ryzen, it was the pathway to cheap 6-8 core in consumer with decent ST. Something Intel was offering for the better part of 10 years before it in the Extreme line up.

Upgrading to keep current today is not even funny, that is no golden age in my book, its an overheated market.

First leaks are out

7600x on userbench (an Anti AMD site) is 25% faster than a 12900K, and ~55% faster than a 5600x single threaded
AMD Zen 4 Ryzen 5 7600X Blasts Intel Core i9-12900K With Massive Performance Leak (forbes.com)


different news sites are reporting different values and %'s, i believe there was more than one benchmark appeared - and of course, different sections of the benchmark to choose from

Oh, it's because userbench is having a mental breakdown and altering the results already

Ah yes, bring GPU's to a CPU fight and threaten suicide. Of course!

That is a huge performance bump. AMD seemed very confident about the CPU and even the leaks of Intel's RL didnt make an impression on AMD it would seem. I think AMD's lineup will be very strong with zen4
