AMD announced the Ryzen 7000 Series Desktop CPU portfolio, which will be driven by the new “Zen 4” architecture, ushering in the next age of high performance for gamers, enthusiasts, and content creators. The Ryzen 7000 Series CPUs combine superior performance and energy efficiency with up to 16 cores and 32 threads and are built on an optimized, high-performance TSMC 5nm production node.
When compared to the previous generation, the AMD Ryzen 7950X CPU provides up to 29% more single-core performance2, up to 45% more compute for multimedia makers in POV Ray3, up to 15% quicker gaming performance in certain titles4, and up to 27% higher performance-per-watt5.
The new Socket AM5 platform, AMD’s most expansive desktop platform to date, is built for durability, with support until 2025.
“The AMD Ryzen 7000 Series brings leadership gaming performance, extraordinary power for content creation, and advanced scalability with the new AMD Socket AM5,” Saeid Moshkelani, senior vice president and general manager, Client business unit, AMD. “With the next generation Ryzen 7000 Series Desktop processors, we are proud to uphold our promise of leadership and continuous innovation, delivering the ultimate PC experience for gamers and creators alike.”

New AMD Socket AM5 Updates
AMD also released the new Socket AM5 platform at the same time as the Ryzen 7000 Series Desktop processors. This platform has cutting-edge connectivity features like dual-channel DDR5 memory. The AM5 platform also has up to 24 PCIe 5.0 lanes, which makes it the most powerful desktop platform that AMD has made so far. Support for new and changing technologies like PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5 memory gives users the ability to grow with their Socket AM5 solution. AMD will continue to support the Socket AM5 platform through at least 2025.
The new Socket AM5 motherboard family has four new chipsets that give users the power and freedom to choose the exact features they want.
- AMD X670 Extreme: Bringing the most connectivity and extreme overclocking capabilities with PCIe 5.0 support for graphics and storage
- AMD X670: Supporting enthusiast overclocking with PCIe 5.0 support for storage and optional graphics support
- AMD B650E: Designed for performance users with PCIe 5.0 storage support and optional graphics support
- AMD B650: Designed for mainstream users with support for DDR5 memory and optional PCIe® 5.0 support
New motherboards will be available starting at an SEP of $125 USD, with the AMD X670 and X670E chipsets arriving in September, and AMD B650E and B650 chipsets in October.
