Round four of Zen is now getting prepped for launch. At Computex and its Financial Analyst Day, AMD spilled the beans on much of what we can expect with the upcoming Ryzen 7000-series CPUs and the Zen 4 architecture. It’s more than just a minor architecture update. Zen 4 comes with a new socket, a PCI Express upgrade, DDR5 memory support, and more. AMD hasn’t backed off, and it plans to make Zen 4 its most competitive solution ever, scaling from low-power laptops all the way to massive supercomputers.
Get your wallets ready for a major upgrade, as Zen 4 looks to be the most significant overhaul of the Ryzen family since its inception.
AMD’s Zen 4 CPUs come with the new socket AM5, which ditches the pins and moves to a land grid array on the back.
GUNNING FOR NUMBER ONE
AMD is ready to go after the performance crown once more with its latest Zen 4 family of processors. The Ryzen 9 5950X led in virtually every multi-threaded workload and put up some competitive numbers in gaming performance back in 2020. However, Intel reclaimed the overall lead with its 12th Gen Core Alder Lake processors and the Core i9-12900K in late 2021.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
