5.7 Jigohertz!
There’s a hearsay circulating the interwebs which purports to offer the small print on AMD’s upcoming Raphael CPUs and the specs are somewhat spectacular. If true, you need to count on to see the highest finish Ryzen 9 7950X have the ability to hit a lift clock of 5.7GHz on it’s 16 cores and 32 threads, with a base clock of a mere 4.5GHz. The Ryzen 9 7900X’s increase shall be 100MHz slower at 5.6GHz however the base shall be a extra spectacular 4.7GHz on it’s 12 cores. The 2 prime finish Raphael chips are each rated at 170W TDP, considerably toasty however not as arduous to chill because the rumours counsel a sure different firm’s product shall be, except the T in TDP stands for theoretical.
The opposite two SKUs would be the Ryzen 7 7700X with eight cores working 5.4GHz increase, 4.5GHz base and the Ryzen 5 7600X with six cores with the identical 5.4GHz increase however a better 4.7GHz base clock. These two chips are rather more straightforward to deal with, producing a mere 105W TDP. In all 4 instances you will note bigger L3 and L2 caches than the present era of Ryzen gives, as much as 64MB of L3 and 16MB of L2 cache on the 7950X.
Raphael appears to focus extra on frequency that core depend, one thing we stay up for testing the effectiveness of. The Register hyperlinks to the unique WCCFTech story, in addition to including their very own flavour on this information piece.
Wasn’t it Donatello that was the techie?
