part to doubling the level two cache on each core to one megabyte AMD is claiming a 15 or greater per thread performance improvement in cinebench r23 so if they can get multi-core clocks to stay high to match those single core clocks Intel may have to go completely back to the drawing board thankfully AMD's new lga-based socket am5 supports cpus with tdps of up to 170 watts so along with the switch to what AMD hints is an optimized version of tsmc's n5p process node that shouldn't be an unreasonable goal especially with a good cooler i mean especially since there's coolers out there that are rated to handle Intel's 12900k which is rated for 241 watts and from our testing regularly blows right past that figure thanks to his extra power draw the 12-900k does manage to beat the 5950x in our testing during short renders like the kind that AMD showed on stage but the best we've seen is a 15 lead the other way for AMD in a much longer test as for AMD's ryzen 7000 demo they showed the 16 core ryzen 7000 chip finishing 31 faster than the core i9 12 900k this is big that was enough short test too right Anthony interestingly AMD didn't mention anything about 3d v cache their method for adding well three-dimensional vertical cache for ryzen 7000 to expand the level 3 cache already on the die what that means is much like with ryzen 5000 we could see separate standard and 3dv cache versions of these chips in the future which could potentially improve performance even further they could also just all have it for all we know like they all have the new six nanometer i o die complete with rd and a2 integrated graphics integrated graphics were one of Intel's last major differentiators prior to their e-core p core layout change because previously this required you to give up some cache and pci express bandwidth on ryzen apus well now all desktop ryzen cpus will have integrated graphics just like Intel can we get rid of the term apu now then great AMD didn't comment on just how many compute units would be included but they did say that am5 motherboards could come with any combination of up to four HDMI 2.1 or displayport 2.0 outputs likely in the form of usb type-c ports which AMD will support in force with up to 14 20 gigabit per second usb ports by contrast Intel's top-end z690 chipset can only run four of those with the rest of them being 10 or 5 gigabit per second that chipset's integration of wi-fi 6e is also no longer an Intel exclusive advantage since the new am5 platform natively supports wi-fi 6e with bluetooth le 5.2 and all of these features are going to be available across all of the new chipsets AMD's actually shaken things up a little bit by the way with respect to their chipsets what we might have previously thought of as x670 is now x670 extreme and it extends pci express gen 5 to every available slot on the motherboard for ridiculous overall system band something that Intel z690 doesn't do vanilla x670 meanwhile limits gen 5 operation to just m.2 storage and the graphics slot connecting those directly to the CPU like Intel does finally there's b650 which defaults to pci express gen 4 for all but the storage slot which does get the gen 5 treatment there's no word on future a series chipsets but at least according to AMD's presentation these are the only major differences between the chipsets that they did announce outside of power delivery which is really more down to the motherboard manufacturers anyway so if that's the case then hey thanks AMD and even if it's not i still have to thank AMD for the direction that they have forced the industry to go since the release of ryzen back in 2017. five short years was all it took to change a stagnant straight line performance improvement into a very prominent hockey stick core counts instructions per clock cash pci express bandwidth ddr memory bandwidth it has all skyrocketed in the last five years and i have no reason to believe that Intel would have been pushed to participate so quickly if they had been left unchallenged it's at a point now where those AMD and Intel cpus and platforms from five years ago are really showing their age something that actually wasn't true of third gen core even as recently as 2020 when it was five generations into its life cycle you don't need to worry about that with your water bottle from ltstore.com though that will never be obsolete now if you thought that was all you haven't been paying attention to mobile either because AMD has some exciting stuff in the pipeline there too first up is their mendocino apu an up to quad core zen 2 chip with integrated rdna 2 graphics that AMD is targeting the 399 to 6.99 price point with and hopes to see greater than 10 hours of mixed usage battery life from i mean gaming chromebooks anyone this should seriously improve battery life at the lower end of the scale i mean remember zen 2 cores may not be the latest and the greatest but they're not that much slower than zen 3 and paired with rd and a2 for GPU accelerated video decoding they should handle most everyday tasks with ease a lot of new laptop designs were announced too including a 17 millimeter thick lenovo with a 100 watt hour battery capable of 100 FPS gaming an alienware with a 4k 120hz display another more different lenovo with force sensitive wasd keys for precise movements and Corsair's first ever in-house laptop complete with what they call a streaming grade webcam and an integrated 10-key stream deck no word on whether this laptop also supports other streamer-friendly features like HDMI input but get subscribed so you don't miss our upcoming coverage of it how could we pass through on something like that AMD says that the am5 platform will release this fall with mendocino apus coming in quarter four oh right apus are apparently still here darn it the other announcements were mostly stuff we've already seen although they did elaborate on their support for direct storage hinting that their implementation will be more than simply adding GPU accelerated decompression so that's another thing we'll have to wait and see about with the industry in such an upward trajectory remember pci express gen 4 was only around on the desktop for like two years before being replaced it really feels like the good old days doesn't it when you could go and buy a computer knowing that it was going to be obsolete in just a few short years which sounds bad from an investment standpoint but what it means for the pc industry is more performance better graphics faster video editing and honestly it's getting to the point where it's been so long with this new hockey stick shift i'm starting to feel like it's just the beginning the beginning of the time to talk about our sponsor micro center is the place to shop for desktops laptops computer components monitor cvs networking equipment and whatever other tech itch you might have on yourself they offer competitive pricing and they have 25 locations around the us new customers can get 50 off AMD's ryzen 5 5600 x or ryzen 50 800x cpus the offer is in-store only no purchase necessary although you'll probably want to buy a CPU and you can combine this coupon with their 20 off select motherboard and CPU bundles to save 70 in total that is like two days of gas money soon to be one day if you're already a micro center customer though no sweat there's tons of motherboard and CPU bundles available for you as well just check the link below to shop at micro center today thanks for watching guys go check out this older video now from when AMD first revealed the ryzen 5000 series that definitively snatched the gaming crown from Intel for the first time well for the first time since the early 2000s anyway and really kicked off this battle of the giants"}
