After announcing its Ryzen 6000 series processors and new GPUs earlier this year, AMD has now officially announced its upcoming Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors at the virtual Computex 2022 trade show event in Taiwan. These new CPUs aim to compete with Intel’s latest 12th-Gen Core processors in the market. Check out the details below.
AMD has officially revealed its upcoming Ryzen 7000 series desktop CPUs, which are said to offer a 15% improvement in single-thread performance as compared to its predecessors. They will be based on TSMC’s 5nm process technology, making them the first desktop-class CPUs built on one. For reference, Intel’s latest Alder Lake 12th-Gen CPUs are built on the 10nm node.
