Equipped with a maximum of 16 core, 32 thread and built on the optimized, high-performance 5nm TSMC process, Ryzen 7000 series processors deliver dominant performance and unprecedented energy efficiency.
The king of Zen 4 is the processor AMD Ryzen 7950X with 16 cores and 32 threads with a base clock of 4.5GHz and a boost of 5.7GHz e 170 W at TDP. It offers a performance increase of between 3% and 45% over its predecessor, the Ryzen 9 5950X.
In fact, compared to the previous generation, the AMD Ryzen 7950X processor allows a single-core performance improvement of up to 29%; up to 15% faster gaming performance in some titles and more than 27% more performance per watt. Furthermore, in the creation of the contents, is up to 40% faster compared to the previous generation.
AMD, during the official presentation, also showed some benchmarks against the rival Intel Core i9-12900K, marking a difference in general performance of 57% and 23% in games.
