From the article: "The Ryzen 7000 was cooled by a 280mm AIO, allowing the processor to run at higher clock rates."
Makes me even more positive on putting my next CPU under water.

The REAL question is: Can it do 5.5ghz ALL core and 7000mhz+ ddr5.
XenthorX
You got me curious for more informations.

125w 16core 5.5ghz 6000mhz cl30 for a prototype is quite impressive, I think.

Ive got the money put to one side right now.
Undying
So then can it be overclocked further? 🙄
Valken
Papa is gonna put money into AMD stock and let it soar then cash it out to buy this 5.5 jizzahurts beast!
Borys
Man.... like we say in Brazil.... "the house it fell" to Intel....
This new Ryzen will destroy Intel in any front... mainly at performance/watt.... will be a massacre. AMD will recovery a lot marketshare at mobile segment too....
Intel is DEAD!

10.5. It's not overlocked though, and only uses 10w of power.

We really don't know that yet, do we? Raptor Lake might not be as thirsty, but who knows. I would suggest that nobody buys any of these new CPUs until the competition has all the equivalent models out.

What I find most interesting is that the I/O ship is new, made on 6nm and has the RDNA GPU inside.
I was hopping for better APUs, but either more is coming or these are not it.
BLEH!
Eep...

Still lower than intel, but still...

Looks like the new champion for daw is coming soon.

Come on, all this marketing BS, When is enough, enough. What is the definition of overclocking now, given that these chips including Intel's overclock themselves automatically. Putting that information out to overclockers and enthusiasts is pathetic. Skipping this generation and going for next. Ryzen 4+ or 5 whatever the flavor is.

When you consider the higher thread count and that all of the cores are full-size, it looks a little better, but yeah, 230W is getting too high. 200W really ought to be the peak for a stock desktop CPU. This still might technically fall under the 170W TDP but I'd rather not see a stock CPU burst that high.
Ghosty
Higher wattage is only when the CPU is on full load.
BLEH!
Exactly. For those of us that remember/have heard of Sudden Northwood Death Syndrome - I'm going to expect things like this occurring with these steadily smaller processes. I know that X nm doesn't mean the transistors are that small, it's the size of the smallest feature, but still, we're getting VERY close to the limits of what Si can handle. Running such small features at these voltages and currents isn't safe for the chips.
I'm running 1 x 14 nm chip (6850K) and 1 x 22 nm chip (5960X), both of which consume well under 200 W (each) overclocked, especially in the case of the former. Intel, AMD, and nVidia (especially) have just thrown efficiency and OCing headroom out of the window in recent years. It's getting silly.

7000mt/s seems like it should be a done deal given that amd already can do >2000 mhz fabric clock and the mem controller on 7nm chips can already push 6000mt/s without exotic cooling. since zen4 will need a 512bit wide or QDR data path, I would guess the maximum bandwidth is likely at least 128gb/s on chip. I suspect that motherboard choice will be more important, than cpu due to signal integrity requirements.

Actually, this Ryzen 7000 will be the Alder Lake competitor.
Ryzen 1000 <> Intel 8000
Ryzen 2000 <> Intel 9000
Ryzen 3000 <> Intel 10000 (This Intel 10th gen was supposed to have PCIe 4 to match Ryzen 3000, but Intel postponed it to the next gen.)
Ryzen 5000 <> Intel 11000
Ryzen 7000 <> Intel 12000

My 12900K can do 320Watts,why would anyone get AMD CPU that can only do 170Watts Max.
