AMD Live Blog: Watch Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 Livestream Here Now

AMD drops the details for the first 5nm x86 processors.

AMD CEO Lisa Su and a host of other executives will take to the stage tonight at 7 PM ET to announce the Zen 4 family of Ryzen 7000 processors during the company's "together we advance_PCs" livestream. These new chips bring several big advancements, including support for DDR5 memory and the PCIe 5.0 interface, not to mention blisteringly-high clock speeds that are rumored to top out at 5.7 GHz. In addition, AMD has also added integrated graphics to its mainstream Ryzen lineup for the first time.

Lisa Su outlined the company's goals for its Ryzen 7000 processors, including support for PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 memory. AMD exceeded its goals for the Zen 4 core, so the company is revising its initial projection of up to 10% IPC improvement to 13%.

AMD tuned the Zen 4 architecture to expose the higher frequencies available with the TSMC 5nm process node. AMD also worked with TSMC to develop a semi-custom N5 process node that delivers enhanced performance.
