Today, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) introduced the highly anticipated AMD
Ryzen 5000 Series desktop processor lineup powered by the new “Zen
3” architecture. Offering up to 16 cores, 32 threads and 72 MB of
cache in the top-of-the-line AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, AMD Ryzen 5000
series processors dominate in heavily threaded workloads1 and power
efficiency2, while the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X processor offers up to a
26% generational uplift in gaming performance3. With extensive
improvements throughout the core including a unified 8-core complex
with direct access to 32MB L3 cache, the new AMD “Zen 3” core
architecture delivers a 19% generational increase in instructions
per cycle (IPC)4, the largest since the introduction of “Zen”
processors in 2017.
“Our commitment with each generation of our Ryzen processors has
been to build the best PC processors in the world. The new AMD
Ryzen 5000 Series Desktop Processors extend our leadership from
IPC4, power efficiency2 to single-core5, multi-core performance1
and gaming6,” said Saeid Moshkelani, senior vice president and
general manager, client business unit, AMD. “Today, we are
extremely proud to deliver what our community and customers have
come to expect from Ryzen processors – dominant multi-core1 and
single-core performance5 and true gaming leadership6 - all within a
broad ecosystem of motherboards and chipsets that are drop-in ready
for AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Desktop Processors.”
AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Desktop
Processors Featuring a remarkable 19% IPC increase4 over
the prior generation in PC workloads, the “Zen 3” architecture
pushes gaming and content creation performance leadership6,1 to a
new level. “Zen 3” architecture reduces latency from accelerated
core and cache communication and doubles the directly accessible L3
cache per core while delivering up to 2.8X more
performance-per-watt versus the competition2.
The top of the line 16 core AMD Ryzen 9 5950X offers:
- The highest single-thread performance of any desktop gaming
processor5
- The most multi-core performance of any desktop gaming processor
and any desktop processor in a mainstream CPU socket1
The 12 core AMD Ryzen 9 5900X offers the best gaming experience
by:
- Average of 7% faster in 1080p gaming across select game titles
than the competition7
- Average of 26% faster in 1080p gaming across select titles
