    AMD today is launching its much anticipated Ryzen 7000 series of desktop processors based on the Zen 4 architecture. The new line-up has four SKUs in total for now at least, namely, the 16 core 32 thread (16/32T) Ryzen 9 7950X, the 12C/24T Ryzen 9 7900X, the 8C/16T Ryzen 7 7700X and the 6C/12T Ryzen 5 7600X, and these are priced at $699, $549, $399 and $299 respectively. They will be available on September 27th.

    The company says that the flagship 7950X is up to 57% faster than its predecessor, the 5950X in Chaos V-Ray. Meanwhile, compared to Intel's i9-12900K, the CPU is 62% faster, which is truly impressive. It does this while consuming 47% less power thanks to the 5 nm process as well as the new Zen 4 architectural efficiency.

    These are gaming power houses, says AMD, thanks to a 13% IPC uplift and high boost clocks that go all the way up to 5.7GHz. The company touts that even its Ryzen 5 7600X is often the better gaming CPU than the Core i9-12900K.

    AMD also claims that the Ryzen 7000 series CPUs are extremely powerful in terms of high-performance computing (HPC) workloads due to AVX512 support among other architectural enhancements.

    I have two Alienware desktop computers that are high-end with the Intel Core i9 12900K and the AMD Ryzen™ 9 7900X processor. In my professional opinion after sitting and using both computers, the AMD is nowhere close in performance to the Intel product.

    Links to the Alienware AMD 7900X desktop?

     

    AMD 7900X not released yet. The only Alienware 7900X PC I can find is one with an Intel Core i9-7900X and released a few years ago.

    LOL, maybe not to YOU, but my new machine, straight out of this box,  is running well......but not as good as my Intel i9.

     

    Intel's Core chips come in a wide range of ultra-specific flavors, ranging from low-power mobile chips with modest performance to number-crunching, power-hungry beasts. Intel's suggested price range also stretches a bit farther, starting at $97 for a low-end Core i3 12100F and ending with the top-shelf Core i9 12900KS for $739. As such, users with highly specific computing requirements may be more likely to find exactly what they need in Intel's sprawling product portfolio.

     

    The Raptor Lake chips are a relatively minor update, plugging into the same LGA 1700 sockets as the current generation of Intel chips. So if you just need a faster processor, the 13th-generation of Intel Core chips can be drop-in replacements for your 12th-generation Alder Lake processors. Intel's update is slated for the second half of 2022, most likely in the next few weeks. Intel has to keep those holiday shoppers happy, you know.
