00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.319
this is a big moment for me my career at

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:12.080
LMG began with the launch of the very first ryzen cpus in 2017.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:16.720
fast forward five and a half years and the socket that i cut my teeth on as a

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:22.800
tech journalist is finally at the end of its life cycle using the new am5 socket

00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:24.560
AMD's ryzen 7000 promises not only to

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:29.760
live up to the legacy they built with ryzen but also to humiliate the competition in

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:34.079
the same way they were in the before times and even more surprisingly

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:38.160
they might be bucking industry trends when it comes to efficiency

00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:42.399
i might not need to buy a new power supply after all what i do need is to

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:47.120
tell you about our sponsor crucial the crucial.com website features

00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:50.800
online tools that make it easy to find compatible memory and recommended

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:56.000
upgrades with compatibility for more than 175 000 systems you can find the

00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:59.160
perfect upgrade in less than 60 seconds at crucial.com

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:14.080
AMD's first big announcements of the day were all centered around the ryzen 9

00:01:10.119 --> 00:01:16.560
7950x the 16 core 32 thread beast of a

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:22.320
CPU that can boost up to a staggering 5.7 gigahertz making it a massively

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:26.720
versatile piece of silicon from AMD's benchmarks which we should take with a

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:31.520
grain of salt it performs about 15 percent better on average over the

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:33.520
outgoing 5950x in 1080p gaming and up to

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:39.360
a whopping 40 percent better in content creation compared to Intel's core i9

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:41.520
12900k it's either as good or up to 24

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:45.360
faster depending on the game and as much as 62 percent faster in content creation

00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.680
now obviously this depends greatly on the

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:54.640
workload AMD brought receipts by showing the v-ray

00:01:51.680 --> 00:02:01.200
renderer running on both chips now mind you v-ray is more geared towards GPU

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:05.759
compute but this is an illustration of the wider design principles that AMD put

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:10.160
into the new zen4 cores built on what AMD calls a specialized n5 process

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:14.480
developed in close collaboration with tsmc the new chips accomplished their

00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:19.840
performance targets while actually reducing dye area by 18

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:25.120
despite the addition of new features including the infamous avx-512 that

00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:29.680
Intel deprecated for alder lake instead of using up die area with dedicated

00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:35.840
space for this AMD is using the existing 256-bit structures but in a double pump

00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:38.000
or ddr arrangement which they say causes

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:41.840
fewer clock speed fluctuations as all those transistors are constantly

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:44.239
changing state and crunching on those vast numbers

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:53.840
but hold up a second avx-512 is not for gaming and Intel's

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:56.800
more or less abandoning it so why is AMD

00:02:53.840 --> 00:03:01.760
embracing it well AMD's claim is that avx 512 will give ryzen a performance

00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:05.760
boost in deep learning workloads which Intel has dedicated instructions for the

00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:12.080
long and the short of it is that it should improve performance while having minimal downsides and a die that's

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:17.120
half the size of the competition though of course this is something we'll

00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:20.560
have to test for ourselves but perhaps the most important consequence of this

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:25.200
shrunken die is power efficiency it's no secret that

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:29.920
the tech industry has been headed down the dark path of ever increasing power

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:36.080
draw for a while now and with the announcement that the ryzen 9 7950x's

00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:37.760
TDP would increase by 62 percent many in

00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:42.080
the tech industry feared that verizon 7000 would be another example of

00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:46.720
throwing more power at the problem luckily for us AMD claims that this was

00:03:44.239 --> 00:03:51.280
done on the 7950x almost entirely for the extra headroom and in operation the

00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:57.519
new chips have been substantially better in performance per watt than ryzen 5000.

00:03:54.799 --> 00:04:04.720
using the 16 core ryzen 9s is an example the 7950x manages 62 percent lower power

00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:07.519
draw for the same performance or gets 49

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:13.200
more performance for the same power draw most impressively at a fixed 65 watt TDP

00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:16.799
that number grows to 74 percent better performance which

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:21.440
would mean that rather than the new chips being

00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:25.280
insatiably power hungry they're in fact

00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:29.120
much more efficient i'm not sure that this isn't spin until i see it myself

00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:33.600
but this is extremely exciting for future

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:38.160
efficiency builds if true as for how they've managed it AMD tells

00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:42.160
me that it's a roughly 60 40 split between the physical die shrink along

00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:46.320
with some tweaks and the design and all the lessons learned in the mobile space

00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:51.280
including the all new six nanometer i o die with the new integrated graphics

00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:56.240
processor now they didn't really talk too much about that new igpu in the

00:04:53.680 --> 00:05:00.479
presentation but they say that it's not going to be as powerful as what you

00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:05.120
might find in an apu that its primary role is to bring up and expand displays

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:09.039
and to offload acceleration functions for video and code and decode

00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:13.600
they specifically said that it wouldn't be something that people expect to game

00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:17.680
on which of course means that people are going to try and game on them like come

00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:22.720
on as we reported before all of the new chips are going to have this new eye GPU

00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:25.199
thanks to the i o die and if you're not

00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:30.240
GPU limited you're going to get a lot more performance in games because AMD

00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:35.919
has further improved the front end with some tweaks and a doubled up l2 cache

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:41.520
giving the ryzen 979 50x a grand total of 80 megabytes of combined cash to play

00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:47.840
with as anyone who's followed our rising coverage from day one knows keeping the

00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:50.080
beast fed is half the battle and this

00:05:47.840 --> 00:05:54.240
should help tremendously AMD's testing showed a 13 instructions per clock

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:58.880
uplift over ryzen 5000 thanks to these tweaks to design when they had

00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:03.759
previously expected eight to ten percent and those clocks are much higher what

00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:09.440
will also help is the transition to pure ddr5 for the new socket am5

00:06:07.039 --> 00:06:14.800
the nerdiest among you like myself will already know this but tldr

00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:19.840
socket am5 is a brand new platform that finally transitions AMD to using a land

00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:24.319
grid array like Intel or threadripper do today instead of a pin grid array as

00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:29.440
previous generation ryzen processors used this increases the pin density in this

00:06:27.039 --> 00:06:33.199
case 1718 and reduces the likelihood that you'll

00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:37.440
break your CPU just by putting it down wrong no word yet if they'll need that

00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:41.680
eight dollar walmart CPU frame to prevent flexing but the extra pins will

00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:47.600
allow for more power to flow to the socket up to 230 watts and allow for

00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:52.960
more bandwidth to and from ddr5 memory and pci express gen 5 which comes

00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:56.160
standard on all chipsets for the NVMe storage that AMD says we'll see in

00:06:55.039 --> 00:07:01.440
november but for the GPU gen 5 will only be

00:06:59.039 --> 00:07:05.440
supported on the two extreme series chipset variations

00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:09.440
now AMD says there is zero performance difference between the chipsets in stock

00:07:07.039 --> 00:07:15.120
operation and that they should differ really only in io and power delivery for

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:17.120
overclocking which all chipset variants

00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:21.680
do in fact support AMD's claiming that they'll support am5 until at least 2025

00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:25.680
which i mean that's like two and a half or three

00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:31.199
years from now given that am4 lasted for twice as long and was host to five whole

00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:33.520
generations of cpus we can only hope

00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:37.520
that this is a case of under promise over deliver and hopefully they'll over

00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:42.400
deliver on their new expo RAM specification too this is AMD's answer

00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:48.080
to Intel's xmp and was announced a few months ago but AMD says that we should

00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:52.479
see over 15 kits available at launch at up to 6 400 mega transfers per second

00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:55.360
xmp memory will still work but AMD figures this will make it a lot easier

00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:59.759
for vendors to tweak sub timings for ryzen and in typical AMD fashion the

00:07:57.840 --> 00:08:04.160
spec is fully open to the public the pricing for the chips themselves hasn't

00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:09.360
changed compared to ryzen 5000 except the 16 core ryzen 9 which is

00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:13.360
seeing a 100 discount for the newer chip like what is this bizarro land like in

00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:19.599
this economy they're gonna do a discount anyway i don't have the sales data but it seems

00:08:17.039 --> 00:08:23.680
like a good bet that the 5950x didn't sell as well as AMD had hoped after its

00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:28.240
price hike over the previous generations 3950x

00:08:25.599 --> 00:08:33.039
or perhaps they just felt embarrassed to have the most expensive desktop CPU on

00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:37.200
the market i'm like Intel's 12900 ks to shoulder that now instead interestingly

00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:42.959
the only ryzen 7 option announced today was the 7700x

00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.120
not the 7800x my guess would be that AMD

00:08:42.959 --> 00:08:48.560
will use that name for the 3dv cache variant later on

00:08:46.880 --> 00:08:51.440
probably sometime later this year they said maybe early next year i'm not

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:57.839
entirely sure most exciting for gamers though is that

00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:59.760
AMD's 300 ryzen 5 7600x seemingly

00:08:57.839 --> 00:09:05.040
competes with and wins against the core i9 12900k

00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.279
a CPU that costs more than twice as much

00:09:05.040 --> 00:09:10.880
as with any claim from the manufacturer this is something that we're going to

00:09:08.560 --> 00:09:14.720
have to verify but it's also something that we're excited for especially if

00:09:12.880 --> 00:09:19.839
there's overclocking headroom available given its 5.3 gigahertz stock max turbo

00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:24.000
speed no word yet on any less expensive non-excuse though AMD says that they

00:09:22.160 --> 00:09:27.360
expect the lineup to expand in a similar way to ryzen 5000 so we're probably

00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:31.519
looking at next year sometime for true budget

00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:37.040
options from team red this entire event was about ryzen but AMD being AMD they

00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:41.040
just couldn't help but talk a little bit about our dna 3 as well which is

00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:45.440
apparently going to feature a 5 nanometer chiplet based design that AMD

00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:49.120
claims will provide a 50 performance per watt improvement over current gen Radeon

00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:54.640
gpus again a big win if true next to the

00:09:51.680 --> 00:09:58.800
looming shadow of rtx 4000 they showed off a bit of gameplay as a teaser but

00:09:56.640 --> 00:10:02.720
that's really all we got i guess we'll just have to stay tuned

00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:07.120
the too long didn't watch though is this

00:10:03.760 --> 00:10:09.600
ryzen 7000 looks far more of an upgrade

00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:14.880
than people initially feared and it doesn't look like it's just gonna be

00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:16.959
ryzen 5000 on ddr5 of course

00:10:14.880 --> 00:10:22.240
this is all stuff we have to verify for ourselves again i keep saying that but

00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:25.839
it's true and we'll have a review as soon as we're able to launch it the

00:10:23.839 --> 00:10:29.920
whole am5 platform including the four cpus they're launching with it will be

00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:33.760
coming out on september 27th and AMD says that they're confident in their

00:10:31.760 --> 00:10:37.839
ability to keep up with demand now we've heard that before but hey we

00:10:36.560 --> 00:10:45.120
can always hope just like we can always hope for a response in kind from team blue and for

00:10:41.920 --> 00:10:46.720
a segway to our sponsor oracle oracle's

more at the link down below thanks for watching guys this is a uh well it's

00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:35.600
been a while since we've done it on location shoot hasn't it maybe we can

00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:39.120
look at some of the previous rising releases like the ryzen 5000

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:43.600
announcement or some of the earlier ryzen 7000 rumors it's uh it's been an

00:11:41.839 --> 00:11:48.079
interesting ride and it's been an interesting ride since driving 1000 too
