![]() ![]() AMD better than Apple? Not so fastĪMD mentioned both Intel and Apple in its battery test using everyone’s favorite video conferencing platform - Microsoft Teams a device using the Ryzen U, which is AMD’s top thin-and-light Pro CPU, ran 70% longer than an Intel Core i7-1370P-based laptop and about 10% longer than a MacBook Pro sporting an Apple M2 Pro and 10 cores. That paves the way for a near future scenario where AI tasks move seamlessly between an AMD-powered cloud and edge. A 32GB DDR5-5600 RAM kit from any reputed manufacturer will set you back about $170 these days, compared to $100 for DDR4-3600.What’s also interesting is the fact that the inclusion of a dedicated AI block allows AMD to offer top-to-bottom hardware solution from the datacenter to the edge: Xilinx for FPGA accelerators, Instinct for GPU, EPYC (CPU) and now Ryzen Pro series for client. DDR5 is still more expensive than DDR4 memory at the moment. Not only have the platforms become a bit more expensive (both CPUs and motherboards), the fact that the new processors require DDR5 only adds to the total up-front cost. And this is what we feel is different this generation for AMD – the pricing. Pricing wise not much has been revealed except the fact that, entry-level motherboards are expected to start at $125, which is a bit more expensive if you compare it to the previous-gen hardware. ![]() ![]() The Extreme, on the other hand, will have additional PCIe 5.0 lane support for graphics and storage versus the non-Extreme models, as well as just being the best boards with the most features. In terms of feature disparity, B650E motherboards will provide PCIe 5.0 to both the M.2 and GPU slots, while the standard B650 will only have 5.0 support on the M.2 slot, and PCIe 4.0 everywhere else. The X670 and X670E chipsets will be available at launch, while the newly revealed B650E and B650 will arrive a little bit later in October. AMD also emphasized on the fact that theyare on board with the AM5 platform for the long-haul, as they plan to support it till 2025 at the least.ĪMD announced that the new Socket AM5 motherboard family will four new chipsets, giving users the power and flexibility to choose the exact features they want. ![]() They stated that the platform will at the top-end include a maximum of 24 PCIE 5.0 lanes and memory speeds up to DDR5-6400. This means we’re getting a much larger rise in performance over the previous generation.Īt the event, AMD also gave viewers a look at their new socket AM5 platform, which will finally gives AMD processors support for DDR5 memory and PCI-E gen 5. This means that the 170W TDP of the 7950X, while higher than the previous-gen 5950X, is more efficient. AMD, for one, is claiming a 47% performance per watt advantage over the 12th-Gen Intel Core i9-12900K, suggesting that it will consume far less power than the Intel processors. Usually such gen-on-gen improvements are a result of higher core clocks that come at the sacrifice of power consumption, but in Ryzen 7000 series CPUs, this isn’t the case. ![]()
