AMD next-gen CPUs might deliver the biggest upgrade in years

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends

AMD is known for producing top-of-the-line processors, and it seems that their upcoming Zen 5 CPUs will take performance to new heights. Early benchmarks and estimates suggest that the next-generation processors could deliver a staggering 30% increase in performance. This potential leap forward could make Zen 5 the most impressive upgrade from AMD in recent years.

This exciting information comes from RedGamingTech, who has provided early benchmarks based on a reliable source. However, it’s important to remember that Zen 5 CPUs are still a year or more away from release, so these figures should be taken with caution.

The reported scores for AMD’s Ryzen 8000 processors are promising. According to sources cited by RedGamingTech, the flagship 16-core model is expected to average around 49,000 points in the multi-threaded Cinebench R23 test. This is a significant improvement compared to the roughly 38,000 points achieved by the Ryzen 9 7950X, indicating a substantial performance boost from Zen 4 to Zen 5. Similar improvements can be seen throughout the lineup, with the 12-core CPU reaching 36,000 points, surpassing the capabilities of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

If these early benchmarks hold true, Zen 5 would mark AMD’s most significant performance improvement since the launch of its Zen processors. It is expected to surpass the gains made from Zen 2 to 3 and Zen 3 to 4. While the increase in single-threaded performance may not be as substantial as multi-core, early predictions suggest a potential up to 25% increase in instructions per clock (IPC), which is the foundation for these performance gains. On the surface, Zen 5 may not bring many new features, with marginal improvements in frequencies and core counts compared to its predecessors.

While rumors should always be approached with skepticism, PCGamer points out that similar figures for Zen 5 have been mentioned by Jim Keller, who played a crucial role in the development of Zen CPUs. Keller predicted a 30% performance uplift from Zen 4 to Zen 5, along with a 23% increase in IPC.

It is still early to get too excited, but if Zen 5 lives up to these early benchmarks, AMD will likely maintain its position as the go-to option for gamers. The company’s impressive sales figures coupled with the potential of Zen 5 make for a promising future.
