This is a huge increase
AMD processors based on the Zen 5 architecture may bring not just a big, but a huge increase in performance relative to their predecessors.
The well-known insider Kepler claims that the Zen 5 core is more than 40% more productive than Zen 4. However, it is not very clear what we are talking about here. This is usually said about the number of instructions executed per clock (IPC), but a 40% increase in this indicator — this is an incredible achievement. Yes, AMD has already achieved more — The first generation Zens were 52% faster than the Excavator cores — but then we were talking about initially not the most successful architecture, that is, we can say that the low base effect was at work.
If Zen 5 really is 40% faster than Zen 4, this will make the new Ryzen processors monsters even compared to the Ryzen 7000.
Recall that AMD processors based on the Zen 5 architecture have already left the company’s laboratory, and there are hints that the new eight-core model, which can be called the Ryzen 7 9700X, will be much faster than the Ryzen 7 7700X, if only because of the increased TDP .
The Kepler insider has repeatedly shared detailed information about the characteristics of future AMD CPUs and GPUs, in particular platforms for game consoles. He also revealed the features of the PS5 Slim at one time.
