The photograph of a fairly massive IHS bearing the stigmata inflicted by its host.
You have to admit it, the presentation of the Ryzen 7000 by AMD during Computex 2022 was a little disappointing and quite cryptic on certain points; in the days that followed, Robert Hallock also had to clarify certain aspects mentioned during the presentation. In fact, AMD did not exhibit a Ryzen 7000 processor. MSI, however, took care of it: the brand had published a “tutorial” video for installing a Ryzen 7000 in its AM5 socket ; video quickly removed. Today, it’s an image from TechPowerUp that catches our attention. The site presents it as the IHS (integrated heat spreader) of a Ryzen 7000.
If we compare this shot with those from the MSI video and the official image of the Ryzen 7000s, there is indeed an air of resemblance. The retracted IHS is held by a gloved hand; this betrays an overlocker brought to handle certain products requiring protection. If so, it shouldn’t take long for us to be inundated with a slew of benchmark results. In any case, the photo reveals a thick IHS to say the least; CCD and I/O chip footprints are clearly visible.
AMD: 5.5 GHz Ryzen 7000 demo does not involve overclocking
Up to 170W TDP
The Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 processors, codenamed Raphael, will launch in fall 2022. They will involve a new socket, the AM5, support PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 memory. On the TDP side, AMD has formalized a maximum value of 170 W once morest 105 W for the most greedy Ryzen 5000s.
