![]() ![]() Only Greymon55 doesn’t confirm anything like that at all, so maybe they will really stick with just 16 cores. It has often been assumed that AMD will release even a 24-core version (which would logically need three CPU chiplets), and some YouTubers even claim that AMD is planning to do so. So there’s no talk of increasing the core count, even if this means it will have been unchanged since 2019 when the Ryzen 9 3950X came out. ![]() Note how according to Greymon55’s tweet, the most powerful Ryzen 9 is said to still only be 16-core processor. Ryzen 7000 sample shown at CES 2022 Source: AMD Will AMD still only have 16 cores as a maximum? Thus, they seem to be planning to also loosen the limits and increase performance at the cost of massive power draw in the case of the 170 W Ryzen 9 processors. The market seems to have more or less completely accepted Intel’s power draw inflation, so targeting better power efficiency instead of maximum performance doesn’t seem to be a rewarding policy for AMD. By doing so, Intel significantly increases their multi-threaded performance, while AMD suffers a self-imposed performance handicap by keeping the processors consistently at lower limits (the PPT 88 W and 142 W), laudable as that is. Its processors were allowed to draw up to 250W in previous generations, with the Core i9-12900K and Core i9-12900KS drawing up to 241 W. This higher power draw is probably a reaction to how Intel has been cranking up their power draw lately. L2 cache and TLB increase, AVX-512 support, hopefully ALU count A slippery slope of increasing power draw Read more: First details of Zen 4 leaked. So maybe the increased complexity and transistor count of the Zen 4 architecture will outweigh this, resulting in Zen 4 having the same or higher power draw per core vs Zen 3. It’s interesting that AMD is doing this despite the fact that Zen 4 will be manufactured on a new 5nm process that should reduces power draw. This is a big jump from the current 142W limit. Thus a 170 W Ryzen 9 7950X(?) under maximum load could have a realistic power limit of 230W. Anyway, it is likely that the same situation will be the case for processors with 170 W TDP. This PPT is set to 88 W for 65 W processors and 142 W for 105 W models (in both cases the PPT is 35 % higher than the TDP) and Ryzen processors respect this limit quite strictly as far as we know. If you load all cores, the processor will draw power during boost up to somewhere near the so-called maximum PPT (Package Power Tracking) limit, assuming you don’t have a severely stripped-down motherboard unable to sustain the power draw. ![]() It’s possible that AMD will release two versions (like the 79X), one of which will have power draw reduced to 105W, but the highest performance model will have 170 W TDP, according to Greymon55.Īs you probably already know, the actual power draw under load is allowed to go higher than the TDP for AMD processors (although not by as much as for Intel). But the 16-core Ryzen 9 is supposed to have up to 170 W TDP. Twelve-core Ryzen 9s are expected to end up at 105 W TDP in the 7000 generation (and there could probably be a 65 W model as well, though perhaps like the Ryit could be for the OEM market only). Furthermore, the leaked data shows that in the 7000 generation, the Ryzen 9s will be 12-core and 16-core CPUs (with SMT and thus double the threads, of course) just like in the 30 generations. But according to Greymon55, 170 W could be one of the standard TDPs. Previous information (from a leaker nicknamed ExecutableFix) was that 170 W TDP would not be a regular configuration an exception and more of an exception which might only be used by some special edition SKU (a model like Ryzen 7 5800X3D or Intel Core i9-12900KS). But what was confirmed, is sadly the rumor that some models will sport even more terrifying 170W TDP. Greymon55 specifically notes that the 120W models talked about in previous leaks are not yet listed among these Ryzen 9s configurations. We suspect this info was procured in some internal list of planned models or engineering samples. According to this leaker, in the 7000/Zen 4 generation, Ryzen 9 processors will exist with three different TDPs – there will be 65W, 105W and now also 170W versions. The first concerns the number of cores and power draw for the most powerful models labelled Ryzen 9. Leaker Greymon55 on Twitter has come up with two pieces of information now. Now one such has come up: information on the core count and also watt count of Ryzen 9 models from the 7000 generation. That will bring us the much awaited 5nm Ryzen 7000 CPUs with Zen 4 architecture, and it’s about time we got some leaked details. Sometime in the second half of the year, AMD should finally release the new AM5 desktop platform with DDR5 memory after six years of AM4 socket (which premiered in 2016). ![]() Outlines of gen 7000 AMD Ryzen 9 processors ![]()
