TECH NEWS – According to industry leaks, AMD’s new processors may offer much better performance in certain applications than the currently available Zen 4 CPUs.

AMD CEO Lisa Su told investors during an earnings call in October that AMD’s Zen 5 processors will be much better in terms of performance and power efficiency. We’re still waiting for details on the processors, but comparisons to the Zen 4 CPUs are always warranted since they’re the company’s currently available products.

Kepler_L2, an AMD insider, posted on the AnandTech hardware forum that on a core by core basis, Zen 5 processors will be 40% faster than Zen 4s in the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) benchmark. And Zen 4 showed a 13% improvement over Zen 3 processors, even though Zen 3 CPUs include the budget king Ryzen 5 5600X. The insider’s comments don’t always seem credible, as Kepler_L2 previously said that the Radeon RX 7900 XT could be the world’s first PCIe 5.0 GPU, but AMD ended up only releasing it with a PCIe Gen 4 interface. Then this graphics card also underwent a price cut, as it was a way for the “reds” to stay in competition with Nvidia’s GeForce RTx 4000 Super cards.

AMD recently confirmed that Zen 5 processors will hit the shelves in the second half of 2024. Kepler_L2 recently claimed that the Granite Ridge architecture CPUs are already in mass production, and he believes that a small part of the Ryzen 9000 family of CPUs could be released as early as April. In addition, the Zen 5, which may use TSMC’s 4 and 3 nanometer manufacturing processes, will also be available in lower power portable (Strix Point), more powerful portable (Dragon Range), server (Turin), and workstation/HEDT (Shimada Peak) segments. Next-generation Kraken Point APUs with compact Zen 5c cores are also rumored to be on the way. The APUs may have four Zen 5 cores and four Zen 5c cores; the latter may offer better power efficiency at lower clock speeds.
