What’s new with Zen 4?
Zen 4 is a new incredibly powerful platform from AMD, it is the successor to the Zen 3 CPUs AMD released back in 2020.
The Zen 4 architecture brings an IPC uplift of around 8-10%, all thanks to its smaller 5nm manufacturing process and smaller transistors. The smaller the transistors, the more you can pack into any given space.
However, most of the performance benefits arise from the much higher clock speeds and TDP integrated into each CPU. Compared to its predecessor, Zen 4, Zen 4 offers a performance increase of around 15% in Single-threaded workloads and around 35% in Multi-threaded workloads. Zen 4 also offers around a 25% performance per Watt increase over Zen 3 CPUs, making it much more efficient as a result.
The all-new Zen 4 processors also have increased L2 cache (double from 512KB to 1MB), support for the new DDR5 memory standard, AMD EXPO (Extended Profiles for Overclocking), and PCI Gen 5 support for both GPUs and M.2 SSD storage devices.

So, what are you getting when you’re being asked to pay upwards of $800 USD for a CPU? We don’t have any official announcements to go off, but here’s what we know regarding the AMD Ryzen 7000 series CPU specifications.
Ryzen 9 7950X
The Ryzen 9 7950X is designed to be the best of the best. The 7950X has a core count of 16 cores and 32 threads, it will also have a very high base core frequency of 4.5GHz, and a boost clock speed of 5.7GHz – that’s huge. The 7950X also has a huge 170W TDP (65W higher than any Ryzen 5000 series chip). As for Cache, the Ryzen 9 7950X comes with 80MB total, 64MB from L3, and 16MB from L2 (1MB per core).
Ryzen 9 7900X
The Ryzen 9 7900X is the little brother to the 7950X and will come equipped with a 12-core 32-thread setup, with base and boost frequencies topping 4.7GHz, and 5.6GHz respectively. The CPU retains the same 170W TDP as the 7950X. As for cache, the 7900X has 76MB of cache (64MB L3 and 12MB of L2)
Ryzen 7 7700X
The Ryzen 7 7700X come sporing an 8-core 16-thread configuration, this CPU is definitely for gamers with a smooth 4.5GHz base frequency and a boost frequency that tops out at 5.4GHz. The 7700X has a lower TDP of 105W (The same as the flagship 5950X). And as for cache, we have a total of 40MB, 32MB of L3 cache, and 8MB of L2.
Ryzen 5 7600X
The Ryzen 5 7600X is aimed more toward budget gamers, with a 6-core 12-thread configuration, this CPU certainly has plenty of power for its price point. The 7600X features base and boost core frequencies of 4.7GHz and 5.3GHz respectively, boasting a 105 TDP in the process. As for cache, the 7600X will sport 38MB of total cache (32MB of L3 and 6MB of L2).
All of these CPUs certainly seem like capable chips, but we won’t find out until we get our hands on them in the near future. Roll on September 15th.
