AMD’s Zen 4/Ryzen 7000 Chips Are 'World's Fastest,' Coming in September
For the CPU experts among you, that list probably raised a bunch of excitement and at least one red flag, whether it was the lack of a 7800X option or the pricing closely matching that of Zen 3’s processors at launch. You can skip past this section to read about that.For everyone else, it was probably pretty confusing. The key takeaway here is that 5nm process, which means this generation of chips will have smaller and therefore more transistors than in 2020’s Ryzen 5000 series chips.
These chips are all made with a 5nm process, so how do you know which is better, aside from looking at which models have higher prices? GHz seems like the most obvious indicator of speed, since it tells you how frequently a processor can manipulate data. But you’ll notice that, even in the above list, some of the more expensive CPUs boast lower base clocks than their slower counterparts. That’s because GHz is only one of the factors contributing to speed.
Finally, there’s the cache, which is straightforward compared to the above. It’s a small, faster memory store that’s kept closer to the processor cores, allowing your CPU more immediate access to commonly used data. A bigger cache means you can store more on it, which means your CPU has to rely on your RAM less often.Now that CPU 101 is out of the way, let’s talk about what makes this announcement worth paying attention to.
