Welcome to the New Era of Performance
The AMD Ryzen™ 7000 Series Processor is here, ready to evolve the way customers play – forever. With more performance, unique features, and for the first time, integrated graphics, it’s time for customers to experience the best PC gaming has to offer.
For the very first time, customers will experience the power of “Zen 4”, the all-new 5nm architecture on which AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors are built. As the world’s most advanced desktop processor for gamers and content creators, this new generation extends AMD performance further than ever, and delivers performance-per-watt leadership for uncompromising productivity and gaming experiences.1
Offering up to 16 cores and 32 threads, boost clock speeds up to 5.7GHz,2 and up to 80MB of cache, there’s a reason AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors are the world’s most advanced - and the fastest in the game.3,4
Since the previous generation, AMD has made significant advancements in performance and processor output:
Max boost clocks have surged beyond 5GHz, delivering up to 5.7GHz.2
Users can expect upwards of 29% improvement in single-thread performance for a more responsive experience.5
AMD Ryzen 7000 processors offer double the L2 Cache – 1MB per core – compared to the previous generation, for up to 80MB total cache.
New AVX-512 Instruction Set support that enables AI acceleration for neural networks and machine learning capabilities.
Additionally, an all-new 6nm I/O die brings integrated AMD RDNA™ 2 graphics to an AMD Ryzen™ desktop processor for the first time, as well as support for the latest memory and I/O technologies such as DDR5 and PCIe® 5.0.
Power management has also been a focus for this generation, which is why customers who choose the AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X processor will enjoy up to 49% more performance than the AMD Ryzen™ 9 5950X processor on average at the same power (TDP) level.6
The Best Way to Play
Improvements in performance and support for the latest technologies mean that performance in gaming experiences, from AAA titles to indie games, is better than ever.
For players who enjoy intense, action-based experiences, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X delivers performance gains in titles such as Shadow of the Tomb Raider™; competitive gamers will also see a boost in such titles as DOTA® 2, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
Overall, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X averages 15% more gaming performance than the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, and for creators, the news gets even better; those moving from the previous generation will find themselves enjoying an average of 44% better content creation performance.3,4

AMD EXPO™: Accelerating the Game
AMD EXPO™ is a new technology that makes overclocking simple, letting users easily set tried and trusted higher memory frequencies and more aggressive settings, for smoother, seamless gameplay experiences.
AMD EXPO also takes the guesswork out of overclocking configurations, by delivering a transparent approach, with visibility over hardware compatibility, detailed settings, and complete memory specs before purchases are made.
Unparalleled Performance by an All-New Platform
AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors are supported by the new AMD Socket AM5 platform, which supports up to 170W TDP processors, dual-channel DDR5 memory, and PCIe® 5.0 for incredible performance. Additionally, the AMD Socket AM5 features the most PCIe® flexibility on a mainstream consumer platform, with up to 44 usable high-speed lanes available for the most demanding gaming and creation enthusiasts.

- Based on a smaller node size of the AMD processor for an x86 platform, as of August 2022. GD-203.
- Max boost for AMD Ryzen processors is the maximum frequency achievable by a single core on the processor running a bursty single-threaded workload. Max boost will vary based on several factors, including, but not limited to: thermal paste; system cooling; motherboard design and BIOS; the latest AMD chipset driver; and the latest OS updates. GD-150.
- Testing as of 15 August, 2022, by AMD Performance Labs using the following hardware: AMD AM5 Reference Motherboard with AMD Ryzen 9 7950X with G.Skill DDR5-6000C30 (F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5N) with AMD EXPO loaded, AMD AM4 Reference Motherboard with AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and DDR4-3600C16, and ROG Maximus Z690 Hero with Core i9-12900K and G.Skill DDR5-6000C30 (F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5N) with AMD EXPO loaded.
