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.

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.
