AMD has unveiled its new Ryzen 7000 desktop PC processors manufactured in 5nm. It also showed us a preview of its new Radeon GPUs with RDNA3 cores.
The new line of Ryzen 7000 Series desktop processors feature the Zen 4 architecture, designed for high performance for gamers, enthusiasts and content creators. They feature up to 16 cores, 32 threads and built on a 5nm TSMC process node.
Compared to the previous generation, the AMD Ryzen 7950X processor enables a single core performance improvement of up to +29%, up to +45% more compute for content creators in POV Ray3, up to 15% more gaming performance on select titles, and up to 27% more performance per watt. To use this new architecture, we require the Socket AM5 platform, so a motherboard change is necessary.
As a benchmark in this range of processors, we have the 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processor offers up to 57% more performance in Render content creation compared to the competition. Meanwhile, even the 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 7600X processor delivers 5% faster gaming performance on average in certain titles than Intel’s flagship gaming processor.
The AMD Ryzen 7950X processor is up to 47% more energy efficient than Intel. Ryzen 7000 series processors incorporate an all-new 6nm I/O die, enabling hardware-accelerated video encoding/decoding, lightweight graphics work and multi-display support. Throughout the CPU, a number of new power management technologies leveraged from AMD’s mobile processors enable the Ryzen 7000 Series desktop processors to run more efficiently.
The Ryzen 7000 Series desktop processors are expected to be available worldwide at major retailers and distributors starting September 27, with retail pricing starting at $299.

AMD has also offered the first demonstration of its next-generation AMD Radeon RX graphics cards, powered by the new AMD RDNA 3 architecture, expected to launch later this year. Along with the new Ryzen 9 7950X processor, the demo showed an incredible gameplay of the highly anticipated title Lies of P, at 4K and ultra settings, running on a pre-production RDNA 3 GPU.
