Ryzen 7000 CPUs may have improvements to IPC and 5Ghz clocks

AMD has been working on the Zen 4 architecture for a while, and new, more specific leaks are starting to emerge with the release of the Ryzen 7000 “Raphael” processor generation later in the year. This time, the final benchmarks An 8-core CPU running at 5.2 GHz and many improvements to loop instructions.

During a series of tests in the Openbenchmarking database, an 8 Zen 4-core processor was found, with at least interesting features. Also based on 16 threads, the test model had a frequency of 5.21 Ghz, which is a very high number compared to the current generation Ryzen 5000.

For comparison, AMD’s most powerful gaming processor, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, runs at 4.7Ghz. In this way, the new architecture would make an 11% jump compared to Zen 3. Looking at the competition, the only model that beats this clock is the 5.5Ghz Intel Core i9-12900KS.

It is also worth noting that the tests were carried out on 16 GB of RAM, possibly the DDR5 standard. However, this processor equipped with an iGPU It is based on the RDNA2 microarchitecture, listed as “GFX1036” with 512 MB of shared memory and running at approximately 2000 MHz.

CPI jumps up to 24%

Channel Moore’s Law Is Dead recently released a new video with some news about Zen 4 architecture and one of the main information would be: This15 to 24% increase in instruction per cycle (IPC). This jump will continue to increase single-threaded performance by 28% to 37%.

Other details already revealed indicate that AMD’s new architecture will continue to support PCIe Gen 5 lanes for graphics cards, processors, Thunderbolt 4.0 ports and more. Check out the list of improvements:

• 15-24% CPI increase (vs Zen 3)
• 8 to 14% frequency hopping (compared to Zen 3)
• 28-37% in single thread (compared to Zen 3)
• Multi-threading performance increase (compared to Zen 3)
• 1 MB L2 / 4 MB L3 per core and 512 KB / 4 MB L3 per Zen core 3)
• PCIe 5.0 support (Max lanes)
• DDR5/LPDDR5 memory support (more than 5200 MHz)

Finally, the leak reveals that the launch window for desktop Ryzen processors remains unchanged, targeting the second half of the year, while laptop models are only expected to arrive in early 2023.
