New ones are clearly just around the corner We've already seen that the Threadripper 7980X and Threadripper Pro 7995WX processors offer incredible performance, but there are a number of new records worth noting. [caption id="attachment_83835" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Threadripper Pro 7995WX[/caption] For example, back in October, at a closed event, AMD itself said that the 96-core Threadripper Pro 7995WX can be overclocked in such a way that it will score more than 184,000 points in Cinebench R23. So far no one has achieved such a result, but there are already first results using liquid nitrogen: 177,050 points. Before the advent of the Threadripper Pro 7995WX, the best result was the record of two 96-core Epyc 9654, which was 147,668 points. Threadripper Pro 7995WX sets a number of new records [caption id="attachment_83837" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Threadripper Pro 7995WX[/caption] In Cinebench R24, the result was 8230 points, while the previous record was held by the Intel Xeon W9-3945X and it was 6159 points. The result in 7zip is even more impressive. If previously Threadripper Pro 5995WX held the title of record holder with a score of almost 514,000 points, then Threadripper Pro 7995WX almost doubled it, scoring almost 1.1 million points.

True, only server ones Samsung, it seems, can finally compete more seriously with TSMC in the semiconductor market. It is reported that the Korean giant will even receive orders for AMD processors. [caption id="attachment_82935" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD processors[/caption] More precisely, Samsung will allegedly produce Prometheus server processors based on Zen 5c cores. True, only low-end models, while the top ones will still be produced by TSMC, and using a 3 nm process technology, that is, apparently, they will be much more energy efficient. New AMD processors will be produced by Samsung Samsung's achievement is that it was able to achieve a die yield rate of 70%, which matches TSMC's figure, which means that there can be more production and it can be cheaper. For AMD, this is an opportunity to diversify risks, which is important given how heavily TSMC’s capacity has been loaded lately. This is also important from the point of view that the current year has shown how critical AI will be for the market in the near future, and this in turn creates a huge demand for corresponding accelerators. And it may turn out that manufacturers will opt to produce more of the corresponding chips, sacrificing consumer CPUs and/or GPUs. In this scenario, an additional manufacturer with a modern technological process will definitely not be superfluous.

No details yet Desktop processors Ryzen 7000G and mobile APUs of the new generation Ryzen 8000U appeared on the Internet for the first time.  [caption id="attachment_77767" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Ryzen 8000U[/caption] If we talk about the first, then three models have appeared so far: Ryzen 5 Pro 7500G, Ryzen 5 7500G, and Ryzen 3 7300G. The first two should be identical and will probably have six cores each, and the last one will most likely be an analog of the mobile Ryzen 3 7320U, that is, it will carry four cores and, thus, will become the cheapest desktop Ryzen 7000. However, The document indicates the presence of four cores for Ryzen 5, but this may be an error. Desktop Ryzen 7000G and the new generation Ryzen 8000U appeared on the Internet for the first time [caption id="attachment_77768" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Ryzen 8000U[/caption] As for the new generation, four models have appeared: Ryzen 7 8840U, Ryzen 5 8540U, Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U and Ryzen 3 8440U. As you can see, the names are quite familiar to the current generation. That is we are talking about an eight-core APU, two six-core, and one quad-core.

Threadripper Pro 3995WX is twice as far behind Test results for the Threadripper Pro 7985WX processor have appeared on the Internet. We have already seen the test results of the 96-core model, but now we are talking about the 64-core model, which means that we can directly compare the new product with its predecessors with the same number of cores. [caption id="attachment_75551" align="aligncenter" width="600"] AMD[/caption] Bravo, AMD. Threadripper Pro 7985WX is 36% faster than Threadripper Pro 5995WX So far there are tests only in Geekbench, but the results there are impressive. [caption id="attachment_75552" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] Threadripper Pro 7985WX outperforms Threadripper Pro 5995WX in multi-threaded mode by 36%! Let us remember that the CPU has the same number of cores, so the increase is due solely to architectural changes and increased frequency. Compared to the Threadripper Pro 3995WX, the new product is 64% faster with the same number of cores. In single-threaded mode, the increase is approximately the same, but this is not so important.

The division into Pro and regular models will return The Videocardz resource has published the first images of AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 processors. It's finally confirmed that AMD is going back to two lines for its monster CPUs. We are waiting for Threadripper Pro 7000 processors for workstations and regular Threadripper 7000 processors for enthusiasts. The latter should just be sold at retail. In addition, the latter will receive packaging with orange accents, while the former will have silver accents. [caption id="attachment_71237" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Ryzen Threadripper 7000 processors[/caption] The new processors will use the sTR5 socket and include from 8 to 12 chipsets, like the Epyc Genoa server ones. Technically these are very similar processors. The first images of Ryzen Threadripper 7000 processors have been published It is known that motherboards for the new CPUs will support DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 cards. Probably, the difference in the number of channels in the RAM controller will also return. Let us remind you that the top models of the new line will be 96-core CPUs, which will allow for a giant leap in performance compared to the already very powerful Ryzen Threadripper 5000. The announcement of new processors will take place tomorrow.

Led by a 96-core CPU The announcement of the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000WX processors should take place on October 19, but today the characteristics of all models have hit the Internet. A total of six models are expected with several cores from 12 to 96. As you can see, the frequency of the new CPUs is more than impressive for their characteristics. The 96-core monster Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7995WX will operate at frequencies up to 5.15 GHz, and younger models will even reach 5.35 GHz. [caption id="attachment_65744" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000WX[/caption] All Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000WX processor models have been declassified Yes, the TDP will be no less impressive than 350 W, but if you remember that the previous generation had 280 W and offered only up to 64 cores, the figure for the new CPUs no longer seems so huge. Let us remind you that the new CPUs will be based on the Zen 4 architecture and produced using a 5 nm process technology.

Available in driver AMD has added a new metric to its latest driver called System Lag. [caption id="attachment_64705" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] System Lag is designed to display the delay between the generation of frames by the engine of a particular game and their further rendering by the video card. So far, the metric only works with adapters that support Anti-Lag+, which means that we are talking about video cards and iGPUs based on RDNA 3. That is, these are primarily Radeon RX 7000 adapters. So that gamers can better evaluate latency. AMD introduced the System Lag metric System Lag is the measured delay between the moment a game generates a frame and the GPU finishing rendering. This does not include factors such as display latency, which can be further increased by features such as advanced sync. Additionally, system latency does not take into account the additional latency in generating frames from AMD Fluid Motion Frames. You can use the frame generation latency metric to show this. System latency is only available when Radeon Anti-Lag+ is enabled. For Anti-Lag+ games that support both DirtectX11 and 12, system lag is only available in DirectX 12. With the new metric, AMD wants to let gamers understand how useful the Anti-Lag+ technology that was introduced with FSR 3 is. Let us remind you that Anti-Lag+ is an improved version of Anti-Lag and is designed to synchronize frames to reduce latency. Besides the fact that Anti-Lag+ only works with the latest video cards, it is only available in certain games.

Intel is doing this as part of the IFS initiative Over the past few years, Intel has been pursuing an IFS strategy, which, among other things, involves turning the company into a major manufacturer of semiconductor products for third-party customers. AMD believes that this strategy of their competitor will fail. [caption id="attachment_64487" align="aligncenter" width="600"] AMD[/caption] Executive Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and President of AMD EMEA Darren Grasby said that Intel will not succeed in its initiative. AMD believes that Intel will not succeed as a manufacturer intel went down that path and if you think about AMD's path, many years ago we had our fabs and we decided to go fabless and that was a turning point in the company's history that allowed us to put money into R&D Let us remember that at one time AMD allocated its semiconductor capabilities to a separate company, GlobalFoundries, which in 2012 ceased to be in any way associated with AMD. Since then, AMD has ordered the production of CPUs and GPUs, including from GlobalFoundries, and in recent years has completely switched to TSMC. This also allowed AMD to release the world's first x86-compatible 4-nanometer consumer processors.

It should cost more than $270, but a lot less than $450. While Nvidia is preparing a stripped-down GeForce RTX 3050 with 6 GB of memory and a 96-bit bus, AMD seems ready to release a beefed-up Radeon RX 7600.  [caption id="attachment_64161" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] According to the Benchlife resource, the company may release such an adapter with 16 GB of memory. There are no other details, but with this model, model everything is very simple.  AMD could release a truly cheap video card with 16 GB of memory. The current RX 7600 is based on the full version of the Navi 33 GPU, that is, the new modification will not have more stream processors. The 128-bit bus also does not need to be changed to double the memory capacity. Thus, the Radeon RX 7600 16GB will differ from the current version either solely in memory capacity or also in frequencies, but it is unlikely to be significant.  At the moment, AMD has a huge gap between the $270 RX 7600 and the $450 RX 7700 XT. At the same time, the company has already stated that it will no longer release full-fledged new models within the RX 7000 line, that is, apparently no one will close the hole of the conditional RX 7600 XT or RX 7700. But the RX 7600 16GB will not be a new model, but it will partially solve the existing problem.  True, as we have already seen from the tests of the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, in this segment this amount of memory is almost always useless, and the RX 7600 is even weaker than the mentioned Nvidia model. But the new AMD product could cost about $330-350, that is, it will be a unique offer with 16 GB of memory on the market.

No details yet It looks like Ryzen 7000G desktop APUs with a powerful graphics core will soon hit the market. [caption id="attachment_63790" align="aligncenter" width="780"] New AMD processors[/caption] Support for such processors appeared in AGESA 1008 firmware for motherboards. This hints that an announcement may be close. On the description page of the Asus B650 board, it is directly written that the new update brings support for upcoming CPUs. New AMD processors with the most powerful graphics core are being prepared for release. Unfortunately, there are no details about the processors themselves yet, but in fact, it’s pretty clear what they will be like. As always before, the easiest way for AMD is to take mobile APUs and turn them into desktop ones by increasing the frequencies and power limits. That is, the desktop Ryzen 7000G will be a technical copy of the mobile Ryzen 7040. That is, we will have up to eight cores and a Radeon 780M GPU, which can be fully revealed with an increase in TDP. Let us remind you that now there are Ryzen 5000G on the market with the old Vega iGPUs because the Ryzen 6000G line has not appeared.

Everything works, but the delay increases FSR 3 technology, as you know, is available not only for AMD video cards. For Nvidia adapters, AMD itself talks about supporting at least models of the GeForce RTX 20 generation. However, technically, no one is stopping you from launching the technology on older cards. And this was done by blogger Daniel Owens. He tested the GeForce GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 in the game Immortals of Aveum. [caption id="attachment_62650" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] AMD is doing for older GeForce video cards what Nvidia itself did not do. It turned out that not only FSR 3 itself works with these cards, but also the frame generation technology. For example, for the GTX 1060 in the native rendering resolution (that is, with FSR Nativ AA) and the frame generator enabled, performance increased from 20-22 fps to 32-34 fps, that is, about one and a half times. However, the problem is that the delay also increased significantly: up to 200 ms. Because of this, playing is no longer so comfortable. The same performance increase, but without a strong increase in latency, is provided by FSR in Quality mode and without a frame generator, but here the upscale still affects image quality. https://youtu.be/uGkW-IGahrM?t=1 The situation was the same with the GTX 1070, only adjusted for the greater performance of the adapter itself. Thus, FSR 3 makes it possible to use older GeForce video cards in a way that without AMD technology they would not have been able to handle or would have done much worse.

A total of five models are expected in the line AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7000 processors, codenamed Storm Peak, will be presented very soon. According to recent data, the announcement will take place on October 19. [caption id="attachment_62645" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] AMD will introduce Threadripper Pro 7000 with a 96-core CPU at the head At this point, the current Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5000 line will be a year and a half old. However, AMD might not be in a hurry with the new line, since Intel does not yet offer anything comparable in any case. The new line will take Threadripper to a new level, because the flagship model will have 96 cores, like the top-end Epyc of the Genoa generation. In total, five models are expected in the line, starting with the 12-core one. The CPU will offer up to 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes depending on the platform, an eight-channel DDR5 memory controller, up to 384 MB of third-level cache, and a TDP of 350 W. It is not yet clear whether such CPUs will be available in retail or only as part of ready-made workstations.

So far only for Radeon RX 7000 AMD today launched FSR 3 supersampling technology with Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF). Currently, it is only available in Forspoken and Immortals of Aveum, but this is in full form. It turns out that today you can try it out in another two dozen games.  [caption id="attachment_61744" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] Even at the presentation, AMD said that it would integrate Fluid Motion Frames directly into the driver, which would allow the technology to be activated in virtually any game. The full launch of this option will take place in 2024, but now the preliminary version of Adrenalin software allows you to try Fluid Motion Frames in 20 games, including several bestsellers.  You can now try out the frame renderer from FSR 3 in 20 games The list of supported games includes the following projects:   A Plague Tale - Requiem; Borderlands 3; Control; Dead Space; Deep Rock Galactic; Dying Light 2; Far Cry 6; Ghostwire: Tokyo; Hitman 3; Hogwarts Legacy; Horizon Zero Dawn; Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition; Red Dead Redemption 2; Resident Evil 3; Resident Evil 4; Shadow Of The Tomb Raider; Star Wars Jedi: Survivor; Starfield; The Last of Us Part 1; The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Unfortunately, if in the usual version Fluid Motion Frames is available for video cards starting from the Radeon RX 5000, and is also available on Nvidia and Intel cards, then the version with the driver, firstly, cuts off competitors’ cards, which is logical, and secondly, limits support to only the latest RX 7000 models.

Ryzen 8000 will be released next year An AMD roadmap has leaked online, describing several key features of the company’s future products. It was obtained by the author of the Moore's Law Is Dead channel.  [caption id="attachment_61690" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AMD[/caption] The document, among other things, describes the Zen 5 and Zen 6 architectures.  The first to hit the market, of course, will be Zen 5, codenamed Nirvana. The first CPUs based on it are expected in the first half of 2024. Processors with Zen 5 architecture will be produced using 3 and 4 nm process technology and will bring an increase in IPC (the number of instructions executed per clock cycle) by 10–15%. It is also known that Zen 5’s data cache will be increased to 48 KB, a new low-power core version will appear, and Zen 5 will also bring a 16-core cluster. Probably, only Zen 5c cores will be combined with 16 pieces, but this still means that the total number of cores in the new processors will increase and finally exceed the 16 pieces mark that we have become accustomed to since the Ryzen 3000.  AMD roadmap describing Zen 5 and Zen 6 leaked online https://youtu.be/ueXUoRw5LZk Zen 6, codenamed Morpheus, is expected to move to 3nm and 2nm process technology and will be released sometime in 2025. The IPC indicator will increase by 10%, that is, not as much as in recent years. However, the architecture will bring support for FP16 computing to accelerate AI/ML algorithms and a new memory profiler. Moreover, processor clusters will be able to have 32 cores each, which means that we will again see an increase in the number of cores in the CPU as a whole.   Moore's Law Is Dead profiled many AMD products before they were released. In particular, the Radeon RX 7800 and Radeon RX 7700 video cards several months before the announcement.

For now, it is only supported by Forspoken Today, AMD FSR 3 technology is coming to the market, which is designed to compete with DLSS 3. The first game to receive FSR 3 was Forspoken. Patch 1.22 is already available, so anyone with a suitable graphics card can try out the technology.  [caption id="attachment_61687" align="alignnone" width="780"] AMD[/caption] AMD video cards can now also add extra frames. FSR 3 launched on the market Let us remind you that FSR 3, like DLSS 3, can complete the drawing of frames. AMD calls it Motion Fluid Frames, and this technology, unlike Nvidia Frame Generation, is not tied to hardware, therefore, like FSR 3 in general, it works on a variety of video cards not only from AMD.  In particular, AMD itself talks about the need to have a Radeon RX 5000 or newer accelerator, GeForce RTX 20 or newer, and Intel Arc A7. But at the same time, technically the technology can work on older adapters - we just have to wait for the tests.
