After Intel introduced its new arsenal of processors to the desktop and laptop market, it was AMD’s turn to tell what its plans were. The company introduced its new generation of Ryzen 6000 series processors for laptops, introduced another desktop processor from the Ryzen 5000 series series that it claims is the best gaming processor in the world, and also provided an initial glimpse into the Ryzen 7 series series processors that will be introduced in the second half of 2022.
The announcement focused on the mobile processors that AMD will send in the near future, the Ryzen 6000 series processors with up to 8 physical cores, with the leading processors in the new series reaching a speed of 5.0 GHz at maximum turbo speed, and according to the company the processors in this series are the fastest The mobile. All announced processors are based on the updated Zen + core +, which are optimized by AMD to provide extremely high wattage performance levels. In addition, the company claims that these processors provide up to 11% more performance at the single-core level and up to 28% performance at multi-core work.
The Ryzen 6000 processors also come with new graphics chips based on the company’s RDNA 2 architecture, and are expected to deliver up to twice the graphics performance compared to the previous generation. They can reportedly deliver good performance even with high-end games and they support modern refresh rates even at high resolutions. In addition, they support dynamic HDR and also offer, like all the company’s video cards, support for FreeSync technology.
The processors also offer DDR5 memory support, peripheral support that requires PCIe 4.0 and USB4 connections, artificial intelligence-based technology for filtering background noise, and WiFi 6E support. The processors also support the new advanced security features of Windows 11 in light of the integration of Microsoft’s Pluton security chip. The Pro versions of the processors will arrive later this year.

The next generation of stationary – Ryzen 7000
Dr. Lisa Sue, AMD’s CEO, introduced on stage a processor that was supposed to represent the next generation of the company’s desktop processors that are due to arrive, as mentioned above, in the second half of 2022 to compete with Intel’s Alder Lake processors. As you may notice, AMD decided Leave the Ryzen 6000 series in favor of the mobile market and jump from the Ryzen 5000 to the 7000 stationary – and maybe that’s what it was from now on.
In any case not too much detail was provided about the new processors, except for the fact that they will be manufactured again in 5-nanometer lithography, in TSMC plants probably, and they will be manufactured in a new architecture that the company calls Zen 4. Beyond that, after five years of manufacturing The new ones will be adapted to the new AM5 bracket. This is an LGA socket, meaning a socket that comes from the pins are actually on the motherboard and not in the processor, and despite the change, the fans that were compatible with AM4 are supposed to also fit the AM5 socket.
And there’s one more desktop processor – the fastest for gaming
But even before it hits the Ryzen 7000 processors, AMD has announced one more desktop processor in the Ryzen 5000 series that should actually hit the market this spring. It’s called Ryzen 7 5800X3D and according to the company, and not that this is a statement that should surprise anyone, it is the fastest game processor in the world that offers 5% higher performance in selected games with 1080p resolution than any other processor on the market.
It is in fact a processor that is almost identical to the Ryzen 5800X, with the same Zen 3 architecture, with 8 cores and 16 working capillaries, with a speed of up to 4.5 GHz and a TDP of 105 watts. The difference is that the new processor, as its name implies, is equipped with a new cache memory technology, 3D V-Cache, which is supposed to speed up the processes. Beyond providing greater bandwidth for cache memory, it has also grown from 32 megabytes to 96 megabytes.
