AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Sue today announced the company’s next-generation mainstream Raison processor. The new family, known as the Raizen 5000 series, consists of four parts and supports up to sixteen cores. A key component of the new product is AMD’s flagship design with the latest Zen3 microarchitecture, which guarantees a 19% raw increase in performance-clock above the latest pay generation improvements. The new processors are socket-compatible with existing 500-series motherboards, and will be available in retail from November 5.M. AMD is putting a clear marker in the sand, calling one of its halo products ‘the best gaming CPU in the world’. We have the details.
For processors, all come November 5M
With the new Raizen 5000 series, AMD is keeping the same structure for the previous generation. The first four processors to enter the market will include products in the key Raizen 5 and Raizen 7 segments, as well as a pair of high-performance parts with Raizen 9., with frequencies and increased performance છ extending from six cores to sixteen cores. Per hour, but with no additional increase in power. Processors are still chiplet based, with one chiplet having six or eight cores. The Raizen 5 and Raizen 7 will have one chiplet, while the Raizen 9 will have two chiplets – the easiest way to identify this is the amount of L3 cache each processor has.

Raisen 9 5950X
Sitting on top of the processor line is the new Hello Raizen 95950X. With 16 cores and 32 threads, it has a listed base frequency of.4 GHz and a boost frequency of and.9 GHz. With two chiplets it has a full 64 MB of L3 cache, and the 105 W rated TDP is equivalent to the 16-core of the previous pay generation. This processor will be slightly more loose than the previous pay generation, moving from AMD $ 749 MSRP to 99799 MSRP.
The main competition for the Raizen 95950X is either the AMD chip in the Raizen 93950X, which is currently retail for 10 710, or looks like Intel’s 18-core high-end desktop processor, Core i9-10980XE, $ 803.
Raisen 9 5900X
The second processor is the Raizen 95900X, which offers 12 cores and 24 threads, uses two six-core chiplets and has a full 64 MB L3 cache. With a base frequency of 7.7 GHz and a turbo frequency of 8.8 GHz, AMD calls this processor ‘the best gaming CPU in the world’. This is possible because of the lower core calculation compared to other Raizen 9s when the game has a slightly higher frequency when loading some cores – reducing the thermal density while running six cores per chiplet, enabling higher frequencies. Extended L3 cache per chiplet (explained later) reduces effective latency by allowing more data to be stored before the main memory access is required. This Raizen 95900X also has 105 W TDP, and the price of this 12-core is also a bit higher, moving from 499 MSRP to $ 549 MSRP.
AMD says the Raizen 59 5900X, at 9549, is expected to compete directly with Intel’s Core i9-10900K, which has an MSRP of 9529. The Core i9-10900K is currently overpriced in retail due to limited stock – the Core i9-10850K, which is around 4 9499 and available in retail, could be more ‘real world’ competition.
Raisen 7 5800X
The Raizen 7 5800X is expected to follow in the footsteps of the popular Raizen 7 3700X, which currently sits at # 2 on Amazon’s best seller list. This is a single chiplet processor with eight cores and sixteen threads, running on a 3.8 GHz base and a 4.7 GHz boost. As it is the only chiplet, it has 32MB L3 cache, but it has 105W TDP which allows for high stable frequency. AMD believes that the increased raw influence of its production demands more accurate pricing given its position in the market, and so we see a slight MSRP of $ 399 to $ 449.
AMD expects the Raizon to compete with Intel’s Core i7-10700K, at 7,800X, 9444, which has an MSRP of 9,409. In our latest guide, we’ve seen the i7-10700K retail at 7 380.
Raisen 5 5600X
The base model on launch at the moment is the Raison 5 5600X, which has a single chiplet of six cores and twelve threads, with a frequency of 3.7 GHz and a turbo frequency of 4.6 GHz. This will be the only processor (at launch) with a 65W TDP, and as such this is the only one that will send AMD to the ship with a bundled cooler. It includes the Raizen 5 3600 family, which sits at # 1, # 3 and # 7 on Amazon’s list of best sellers. With 929 MS MSRP, it comes in a little more precise than replacement parts; However AMD encourages that in terms of performance per dollar, this mainstream component offers much more than its competition.
Competition for the Raisin 5 5600X is likely to be from Intel’s Core i5-10600K, which has the same MSRP of 9299. The I5-10600K can currently be found around that price, and it doesn’t seem to have moved much since its launch.
AMD Raizen 5000-Series features
All four processors have the same official memory support on the DDR-3–300, and the 105W TDP will deliver 142W of turbo power, similar to the current pay generation Raizen processors. AMD has decided to bundle only coolers with W65W and above processors, its research shows that customers who buy high power processors always prefer to use their own coolers to perform more when they are at full load. We were told that if they would bundle one of AMD’s 125W coolers with a 105W processor, they would have to lower the frequency a bit to compensate for the cooler being the lowest common denominator for those systems – those 105 dub processor users, I was told , Instead will have extra frequency and performance with their own cooler.
For the Raizen 5000 series, AMDA stated that the Io Die is the same as the previous pay generation. There are still 24 lanes of PCI 4.0 support, as well as the respective NVM / SAT allocation. There was a note about the 500 Series chipset support and how customers can prepare for it, as well as the next 400 Series support, which we will cover separately.
All four processors will be available in retail and e-tail on November 5M.
AMDA told us that the response they received from the launch of the last pay generation, where a 16-core processor was later announced, led the company to a unified launch. When asked if AMD could comment on the stock level on launch day, in particular we note that the company has many console processor orders in TSMC, future graphics hardware orders in TSMC, as well as future EPYC hardware in the mix, AMDA declined to comment. The matter, however, is working hard with retailers and distributors to share best practice solutions when it comes time to deal with bots and scalpers, to avoid the recurrence of highly anticipated hardware launches.
One word on the nomenclature would be easy to find that AMDA has bypassed the 4000-series for its desktop .p hardware. When quizzed on the matter, AMD’s Robert Hawck Locke said the company had introduced OEM processors with integrated graphics in the 4000-series nomenclature built on the Zen2, so the company felt the new Zen3 processors were easier to identify (or find). For) that it should get its own naming order. Didn’t AMDA mention that this gives them a chance to codename its CPU and APU series together when it comes to Zen 3 based APUs. There is also a third factor, in that the number 4 in China is often seen as an ominous number, due to the number of sounds coming from the Chinese word being close to the word ‘death’. The Chinese market has been the main growth market for AMD, and so aligning its latest pay generation hardware to the ‘4000’ category will eliminate negative sales prospects. This is also why AMD’s very few processors include the number 4.
Promises year-round ‘True’ Performance Growth
As part of the announcement of the new Raizen 5000 Series, AMD was pleased to point out that it believes it is the only mainstream desktop .p processor company on the market, a year-on-year cadence of products that really breaks new grounds for performance. The key to this announcement is the 19% improvement in performance compared to the previous pay generation, which AMD says is a significant improvement over overall single-threaded performance, multi-threaded performance, 1080p gaming, power efficiency and when combined with price. Gives lead. , Operations per dollar. AMD believes that it has a full-featured product to beat Intel’s best in workloads that is most important to its users. It’s been a long time, Long AMD has the courage to claim the top crown across the board.
The AMD that uses a + 19% value is taken from an internal test, which includes a real-world and artificial mix using a geometric average of 25 benchmarks. AMD says they compared the Raizen 93900X, the previous pay generation 12-core processor, the new pay generation 12-core processor, the new pay generation 12-core processor, 4.0 GHz fixed frequency and running DDR 4-3600. Out of that 19% number, AMD has tried to break down where it believes these benefits came from:
This is roughly the same:
- + 2.7% cash prefetching
- + 3.3% Execution Engine
- + 1.3% Branch Predictor
- + 2.7% micro-op cache
- + 4.6% front end
- + 4.6% load / store
AMD did not want to go into details about how it achieved this number at this time, saying that the day these processors hit the market we would have time to delve into the errors of microarchitecture ready for articles. What AMD said though is that this new Zen3 Core is a ‘front-to-back redesign’ over the Zen2, and the key SOC innovation they wanted to highlight was the new 8-core structure of each chiplet.
As expected in the Zen 3, AMDA combines two four-core structures (or core complexes, CCX) into a single eight-core structure. This means that all eight-core chiplets have access to 32MB L3 cache inside, and the latency for each core from 16MB to 32MB is greatly improved (previously when you go beyond 16MB with the core, you’ll end up In main memory, which is comparatively slower and more power hungry). Due to the increase in L3 cache and cache delay in this 16-32 MB region, AMD calls it ‘effective reduction in memory delay’. No numbers are attached to this claim at this time, and AMDA did not say if there were any specific microarchitecture changes to the cache hierarchy to support larger cache access patterns.
But, what we can do with the extraplate is that in the previous pay generation, because each chiplet has two main complexes, each complex had its own fabric connection with the rest of the chip. With a single eight-core unified complex design, there is now less cop-to-core communication needed to move beyond the chiplet. For a single chiplet design, this is fully eliminated, and for a dual chiplet design, each complex needs to examine one complex instead of just three. Although the peak bandwidth should still be the same, but in the real world view, there should be less cross-talk to deal with. This will scale better for enterprise hardware, assuming it still retains the eight-chiplet design.
On the process node Technol On G, AMDA clarified that these processors are using the same 7nm process that the company contracted with TSMC as it did with the Raisen 3000XT processors. Users will recall that AMD and TSMC were able to achieve some additional functionality from the Base 7nm process, which was produced in the 3000XT family of mid-cycle starters. AMD is claiming that with this process for the Zen 3, they can claim 2.4x performance per watt improvement over Raizen’s first pay generation or 2.8x performance per watt lead compared to Intel’s latest comet Lake Hello processor. We have to test this when the samples arrive.
We are waiting for engineers for a complete break from AMD’s Zen3 microarchitecture. Expect to see our analysis as part of our launch day reviews on November 5M.
