Official details regarding the AMD Raphael family of processors, as you can be sure, will be presented by the head of the company, Lisa Su, today at the opening of Computex 2022, but for now leaks from the official presentation allow us to judge that in single-threaded applications they will outperform their predecessors by 15% or more in terms of performance.

The Ryzen 7000 desktop family has long been known to offer a mix of Zen 4 architecture, DDR5 memory support, and PCI Express 5.0 bus. The new processors will require Socket AM5 (LGA 1718) motherboards, but older Socket AM4 coolers will remain compatible. For the platform as a whole, the TDP limit will be increased to 170W, but it cannot yet be argued that such a limit will be reached already within the Ryzen 7000 family.
Zen 4 processors will get double the amount of cache memory per core to 1 MB, and the maximum frequency in auto overclocking mode will exceed 5 GHz. In single-threaded applications, the performance gain will exceed 15%, although this statement still requires more detailed explanations from the compilers of the presentation. Finally, along with the Zen 4 architecture, additional instructions for working with artificial intelligence systems will be introduced.
Three crystals will be located under the cover of the heat spreader, which will receive a new figured shape due to the need to go around the microelectronic elements located on the printed circuit board. Two of them will be produced using 5nm technology by TSMC and carry computing cores, and the third will combine memory controllers and PCI Express 5.0 buses, a power management subsystem, and integrated graphics of the RDNA 2 generation. This chip will be produced using 6nm technology, which in general should endow the processors with optimal thermal characteristics and power consumption.
The announcement of the Ryzen 7000 processors is scheduled for this fall, and so far we can only dream of more specifics.
