After a week's delay, the Ryz en 9000 series desktop processors and Zen 5 architecture are finally here, starting with the Ryz en 5 9600X and Ryz en 7 9700X, which will have retail availability from 8th August, followed by the Ryz en 9 9900X and Ryz en 9 9950X on 15th August. Today we'll be comparing the new CPUs to various current and older models to see if you should upgrade your PC and just how fast they are.
With cores and frequencies being roughly the same as the Ryzen 7000 series, AMD is pinning its hopes on the new Zen 5 architecture for performance improvements. The obvious change, which has been a key feature of AMD launches since Ryzen landed in 2017, is a shrinking of the manufacturing process. Ryzen 7000 CPUs were built using a 5nm process - Zen 5 will transition to 4nm bringing with it lower power requirements that are a feature of a smaller process.
AMD has improved the thermal interface between the CPU and heatspreader, which is claims results in a 7°C drop in temperatures with the same TDP . I saw a peak temperature of 55°C with a liquid cooling system but even modest air coolers should cope with the Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X, which have TDP's of only 65W. This is good news since Ryzen 7000 CPUs were known to run hot out out of the box, although could be made to run cooler by tweaking and undervolting.
