00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,759
it feels like it wasn't that long ago that AMD released Zen 4 and transitioned

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:10,639
to LGA sockets but now the release of Zen 5 is imminent with team red

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:14,639
announcing it'll be out in July so is Zen 5 worth your excitement and more

4
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:19,760
importantly is it worth your hard-earned money let's first take a look at Cold

5
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:24,480
Hard performance numbers at least the ones given to us by AMD the company has

6
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:28,320
claimed that we're looking at a 16% performance increase over zen4 in terms

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:32,079
of instructions per clock cycle and seeing as how the speeds in Mega Herz

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:36,399
are similar to what we got with ryzen 7000 that should hopefully translate to

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:40,360
a somewhat comparable average performance increase though this will

10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:44,200
depend heavily on the application with blender being one of the programs that

11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:48,480
benefited most dramatically in AMD's internal testing team red says that the

12
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:52,840
IPC improvements are partly due to better Branch prediction which is pretty

13
00:00:50,559 --> 00:00:57,480
typical for a new generation of CPU but there are also improvements away from

14
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:00,559
the CPU dies themselves for starters Zen 5 has official support for higher memory

15
00:00:59,519 --> 00:01:06,040
speeds now you'll be able to set your RAM up to

16
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:08,880
jck ddr5 5600 speeds while remaining

17
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:14,400
within warranty this is up from the 5200 speed supported by Zen 4 and a new chip

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:18,400
architecture also means faster chip sets so far AMD has announced the x870 and

19
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:23,280
the x870 with the main difference being that

20
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:28,119
the ladder has a few more usable PCI Express Lanes perhaps a bit more

21
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:30,400
excitingly USB 4.0 support is standard

22
00:01:28,119 --> 00:01:34,960
on both chipsets as well as support for Wi-Fi 7 the launch lineup will be fairly

23
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:40,439
similar to what we've seen in the past two n series modules A S Series and a 5

24
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,880
series with the core counts also being the same but with lower tdps outside of

25
00:01:43,159 --> 00:01:50,079
the very top end 950x which makes sense considering Zen 5

26
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:53,600
is on a smaller process node than Zen 4 but there's something on the laptop side

27
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,960
that's significantly different from what we've seen from AMD before and we'll

28
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,520
tell you what that is right after we thank paulway have you ever left your

29
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,880
computer to do something you leave for the day only to come back and find your

30
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:08,440
computer has crashed pulseway wants to free you from

31
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:12,440
these kinds of headaches with pulseway you have your own it sidekick right in

32
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,879
your pocket using your smartphone you can monitor your system and automate

33
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:19,720
issue resolutions you can even troubleshoot problems before they rear

34
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:23,519
their ugly heads which means you can just go about living your life imagine

35
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,760
that so free yourself from your desk today and try pulseway for free by

36
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:32,680
clicking on the link in the description the first couple Zen 5 mobile CPUs will

37
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:37,560
have different branding than in the past as they're going to be called ryzen Ai

38
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:41,920
and you guessed it these CPUs are going to have integrated neural processing

39
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:46,360
units or npus in order to compete with both qualcomm's new Snapdragon X chips

40
00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:52,120
as well as upcoming Intel chips that will also have more of a focus on AI

41
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:54,599
these ryen AI npus will support up to 50

42
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:59,360
trillion operations per seconds or tops making them over three times as powerful

43
00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:03,599
as the npus we got with the ryzen 8000 series and more than strong enough to

44
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:07,920
officially support Windows co-pilot plus features including that controversial

45
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:11,760
Windows recall function assuming of course Microsoft actually releases it at

46
00:03:09,799 --> 00:03:16,640
some point two high-end mobile chips will be available at launch one with 12

47
00:03:13,959 --> 00:03:20,400
cores and another with 10 so would we recommend buying a Zen 5 chip or a

48
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:24,040
laptop with one included this summer when they hit the market well you do get

49
00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:28,360
a nice little performance bump but seeing as the last Zen 4 already had

50
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:33,799
optional support for newer standards like PCI Express 5.0 and USB 4 we don't

51
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,840
think they're an absolute must buy if you've already upgraded recently and the

52
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:42,000
general attitude toward AI these days seems to be rather negative especially

53
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:47,599
considering there isn't yet a super compelling use case for local npus on

54
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:49,519
desktops or laptops but if you do want

55
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:54,599
Microsoft's AI features on a traditional x86 system then have at it Microsoft has

56
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:59,120
announced that co-pilot plus will be getting GPU support in the future and

57
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:02,319
other AI tasks tend to run quite well on gpus

58
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:06,640
but laptops save power running them on npus hence the current focus on getting

59
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,439
them into notebooks what do you think about Zen 5 are you going to be checking

60
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,680
it out for your next upgrade let us know down in the comments and if you want to
