AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors are coming soon, and this generation is upgraded to the 5nm process Zen 4 architectureIPC increased by 8-10%, single-core performance increased by more than 15%, comprehensive performance increased by 35%, many bright spots.
For AMD’s new products, players are now concerned regarding three things: Can the performance match the 13th generation Intel Core processors? Will the price go up or down? Can supply keep up? After all, TSMC’s 5nm process is used, and the “painful” experience of rising prices of the Ryzen 5000 series two years ago is very profound.
For the Ryzen 7000 series, the availability is currently known to be nothing to worry regarding. On the one hand, the tight global semiconductor production capacity has eased this year, and TSMC’s 5nm process capacity is no longer a problem.
On the other hand, there was a special factor in the price increase of the Ryzen 5000 series that year, that is, SONY and Microsoft’s new generation of game consoles also used the 7nm process at that time, which caused AMD to allocate limited production capacity to game console processors, following all, it is a VIP Customers, sign a contract to guarantee supply. In addition, AMD also focuses on protecting high-end EPYC processors, so the retail Ryzen 5000 series will naturally be out of stock and increase in price.
Coming to 2022, SONY and Microsoft’s game console orders are still in the 7nm process, and they will not compete with the Ryzen 7000 series for production capacity. This time, without these two constraints, the supply of the Ryzen 7000 series should be guaranteed.
According to AMD’s financial report data in May this year, it has increased $6.5 billion in advance payments to suppliers. Although it is uncertain how much of it is prepared for the 5nm process Zen 4 architecture chip, it will obviously be AMD’s key product. To ensure that the production capacity can keep up, players can easily buy new products following they are launched.
