Alleged AMD Ryzen 7000 ‘Zen 4’ 16 Core & 8 Core Desktop CPUs Noticed

Written by Jeff Lampkin

AMD’s next-generation Ryzen 7000 ‘Zen 4’ desktop CPUs have allegedly been noticed over on the MilkyWay@Dwelling database.

AMD’s Subsequent-Gen Ryzen 7000 ‘Zen 4’ Desktop CPUs Allegedly Noticed, Embody 16 Core & 8 Core Variants

The MilkyWay@Dwelling mission makes use of the BOINC platform to harness volunteered computing assets, making a extremely correct three-dimensional mannequin of the Milky Means galaxy. There are a number of AMD & Intel CPU-powered programs which are providing their processing energy to the mission however it seems like somebody in AMD’s engineering labs may’ve run the mission on an unreleased Zen 4 powered Ryzen 7000 CPU.

In response to BenchLeaks, two chips, the AMD Eng Pattern: 100-000000665-21_N [Family 25 Model 96 Stepping 0] and the AMD Eng Pattern: 100-000000666-21_N [Family 25 Model 96 Stepping 0] have been noticed within the MilkyWay@Dwelling database. The primary one is a 16 core part whereas the 2nd one is an 8 core part.

In response to BenchLeaks, the CPUID of those chips establish them as AMD Raphael ES CPUs so these are very early samples that we’re . Whereas there isn’t any different element talked about within the database, each CPUs do carry 1024 KB of cache whereas the Ryzen 9 5950X carries 512 KB cache in the identical benchmark. That is the L2 cache per core and it seems like AMD has doubled that for his or her upcoming Zen 4 chips. A latest Zen 4 die structure did level out to 1 MB L2 cache shared between the ‘Precedence’ & ‘backup’ cores. Extra on that right here.

Primarily based on the core depend, the 32 core could be the successor to the present flagship, the 16 core Ryzen 9 5950X (presumably the Ryzen 9 7950X) whereas the 8 core could be the successor to the 12 core Ryzen 9 5900X (presumably the Ryzen 9 7900X). There are additionally some efficiency numbers although take them with a grain of salt as they range considerably between every SKU.

AMD Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs: Zen 4 Core Structure, AM5 Platform For 2H 2023

Whether or not or not AMD’s Vermeer-X could be a hit is a matter of timing because the chip will launch just some quarters previous to the launch of AMD’s subsequent major improve to the Ryzen platform and it is a huge one. Enter Raphael, the next-generation of Ryzen Desktop CPUs that includes the Zen 4 core structure which makes use of the model new 5nm course of expertise and is supported by an all-new AM5 platform.

AMD even showcased a working prototype of its Ryzen 7000 sequence Zen 4 CPU working at 5 GHz throughout all cores in Halo Infinite.

AMD Ryzen 7000  ‘Zen 4’ Desktop CPU Anticipated Options:

  • Model New Zen 4 CPU Cores (IPC / Architectural Enhancements)
  • Model New TSMC 5nm course of node with 6nm IOD
  • Help on AM5 Platform With LGA1718 Socket
  • Twin-Channel DDR5 Reminiscence Help
  • 28 PCIe Gen 5.0 Lanes (CPU Unique)
  • 105-120W TDPs (Higher Certain Vary ~170W)

The following-generation Zen 4 based mostly Ryzen Desktop CPUs will probably be codenamed Raphael and can exchange the Zen 3 based mostly Ryzen 5000 Desktop CPUs which are codenamed, Vermeer. From the data we presently have, Raphael CPUs will probably be based mostly on the 5nm Zen 4 core structure & will function 6nm I/O dies in a chiplet design. AMD has hinted at upping the core counts of its next-gen mainstream desktop CPUs so we are able to count on a slight bump from the present max of 16 cores and 32 threads.

The model new Zen 4 structure is rumored to ship as much as 25% IPC achieve over Zen 3 and hit clock speeds of round 5 GHz. AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 3D V-Cache chips based mostly on the Zen 3 structure will probably be that includes stacked chiplets in order that design is predicted to be carried over to AMD’s Zen 4 line of chips too.

As for TDP necessities, the AMD AM5 CPU platform will function six completely different segments beginning with the flagship 170W CPU class which is really useful for Liquid coolers (280mm or increased). It seems like this will probably be an aggressively clocked chip with increased voltages and with CPU overclocking assist. This section is adopted by 120W TDP CPUs that are really useful to make the most of a high-performance air-cooler. Apparently, the 45-105W variants are listed as SR1/SR2a/SR4 thermal segments which suggests they might require customary heatsink options when working in a inventory configuration so not a lot else is required to maintain them cool.

As the pictures reveal, the AMD Ryzen Raphael Desktop CPUs will function an ideal sq. form (45x45mm) however will home a really chonky built-in warmth spreader or IHS. The actual reasoning behind it being so dense is unknown however it may very well be to steadiness out the thermal load throughout a number of chiplets or some completely one other function. The edges are just like the IHS featured on the Intel Core-X line of HEDT CPUs.

As for the platform itself, the AM5 motherboards will function the LGA1718 socket which goes to final fairly a while. The platform will function DDR5-5200 reminiscence, 28 PCIe lanes, extra NVMe 4.0 & USB 3.2 I/O, and may ship with native USB 4.0 assist. There will probably be not less than two 600-series chipsets for AM5 initially, the X670 flagship and B650 mainstream. The X670 chipset motherboards are anticipated to function each PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5 reminiscence assist however attributable to a rise in dimension, it’s reported that ITX boards will solely function B650 chipsets.

The Raphael Ryzen Desktop CPUs are additionally anticipated to function RDNA 2 onboard graphics which implies that similar to Intel’s mainstream desktop lineup, AMD’s mainstream lineup can even function iGPU graphics assist. With reference to what number of GPU cores there will probably be on the brand new chips, rumors say anyplace from 2-4 (128-256 cores). This will probably be lesser than the RDNA 2 CU depend featured on the soon-to-be-released Ryzen 6000 APUs ‘Rembrandt’ however sufficient to maintain Intel’s Iris Xe iGPUs at bay.

The Zen 4 based mostly Raphael Ryzen CPUs aren’t anticipated until late 2023 so there’s nonetheless a variety of time left within the launch. The lineup will compete in opposition to Intel’s Raptor Lake thirteenth Gen Desktop CPU lineup.
