Expected for the month of September, the processors Ryzen 7000 “Raphael” under Zen 4 architecture are starting to appear in some benchmarks. This week, one of these chips was spotted on OpenBenchmarking. Enough to fill up on technical details…
Unveiled by Petykemano on Twitter, this discovery concerns a processor equipped with 8 cores and 16 threads clocked at up to 5.21 GHz, according to the shared sheet. This frequency is high: the current Ryzen 9 5950X is limited, for example, to 4.9 GHz “only”.
Would it be a replacement for the Ryzen 7 5800X?
As it happens, Guru3D believes that this mysterious processor could actually be the future Ryzen 7 7800X, replacing the Ryzen 7 5800X.
It should also be remembered that the frequency specified in the documents that have come down to us echoes AMD’s promise to deliver Ryzen 7000 CPUs capable of exceeding 5 GHz on all of their cores with Halo Infinite. A promise visibly well on its way to being kept, probably thanks to the use of TSMC’s 5 nm engraving process. The latter is supposed to allow energy efficiency up to 30% greater than the 7 nm node used for the current Ryzen 5000 desktop chips.
Graphically, we would find an iGPU based on the RDNA2 architecture (as with the Ryzen 6000s launched on laptops at the start of the year). On the chip that interests us today, this iGPU would be clocked between 1000 and 2000 MHz. However, it is quite possible that these frequencies will be boosted afterwards: the Radeon 680M integrated into certain Ryzen 6000 chips indeed reaches 2,400 MHz, recalls Guru3D.
Note also that the chip unveiled in the OpenBenchmarking database is only an engineering sample. It is therefore an unfinished version whose specifications are likely to evolve. The information relayed today is not set in stone.
