In addition to disclosing information about the new AM5 platform and the 600 motherboards, AMD provided new information about the Ryzen 7000 processors based on the Zen4 architecture. Although the new series should not be released at least until September, people wondered what exactly AMD wanted (and did not want to) tell their fans.
One of these was a demonstration of Ghostwire: Toyko with a 16-core engineering model of the Ryzen 7000 processor operating at a frequency of 5 GHz+. Robert Hellock confirmed that any special cooling was not used in this test. In fact, AMD used the 280-mm liquid cooler asetek “all in one” for this demonstration. The processor worked on the AMD engineering platform with a 2x16GB DDR5-6000 CL30 memory.
More importantly, this sample was not dispersed. He worked at a standard frequency and exceeded 5 GHz for most of his flows. The frequency ranged from 5.2 to 5.5 GHz on several cores, but in the end it will depend on the game. Nevertheless, AMD wants to say that there was no dispersal, and there was nothing special in this test or in the processor used.
Jan Katress from TechTechpotato outlined all AMD claims to this demonstration in one tweet:
In addition, Halllock confirmed that the statement of 170 watts on AMD Computex slides really refers to the PPT (socket power), and not to the TDP of a separate processor. Robert explains that the main reason for increasing PPT power for the AM5 socket was to increase the frequency of multi -core processors. A higher PPT means a higher TDP, so there is no doubt that this contributed to the higher frequency of AMD Ryzen 7000 processors, as can be seen from the game demonstration.
