AMD released the Ryzen 5000 series processors early this morning, using TSMC’s 7 nm process and upgrading to the Zen 3 architecture. AMD officially claims that the energy efficiency ratio of the new R9 processor is 2.8 times that of the i9-10900K.
AMD said that it has made comprehensive improvements to the entire processor core, especially the unified 8-core CCX design, which can directly access the 32MB L3 cache design. AMD makes the new AMD Zen 3 core architecture more instructions per clock cycle (IPC) performance than the previous generation. 19%, this is the biggest improvement since AMD launched the Zen processor in 2017.
In terms of energy efficiency, AMD claims that the performance per watt of the Zen 3 architecture Ryzen 9 is 2.4 times that of the original R7 1800X, which is also slightly improved compared to the previous generation R9 3900XT. In addition, the energy efficiency ratio of Ryzen 9 with Zen 3 architecture is 2.8 times that of Intel i9-10900K.
