The AMD Ryzen 7000 'Raphael' Desktop CPUs based on the 5nm Zen 4 architecture have leaked out ahead of their unveiling tomorrow at Computex 2022.

AMD Ryzen 7000 Leak: World's First 5nm Desktop CPUs, Dual Zen 4 Chiplets, Up To 16 Cores, RDNA 2 GPU, Launching This Fall

The AMD Ryzen 7000 processors will be powered by the brand new Zen 4 core architecture which is going to be a total architecture overhaul. The CPUs will retain the chiplet design along with high-core counts. AMD hasn't confirmed anything in terms of specifications but it is stated that they will be powered by TSMC's 5nm process node and are designed for gamers first. The leaked slide by Videocardz confirms that the CPU will utilize two Zen 4 CCD's (Core Complex Dies) based on TSMC 5nm process and a singular I/O die (IOD) which is fabricated on TSMC's 6nm process node.

AMD Ryzen  'Zen 4' Desktop CPU Expected Features:

• Brand New Zen 4 CPU Cores (IPC / Architectural Improvements)
  
• Brand New TSMC 5nm process node with 6nm IOD
  
• Support on AM5 Platform With LGA1718 Socket
  
• Dual-Channel DDR5 Memory Support
  
• 28 PCIe Lanes (CPU Exclusive)
  
• 105-120W TDPs (Upper Bound Range ~170W)
  

AMD Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs featuring the brand new Zen 4 core architecture will be launching on the AM5 platform this fall.

The next-generation Zen 4-based Ryzen Desktop CPUs will be codenamed Raphael and will replace the Zen 3-based Ryzen 5000 Desktop CPUs that are codenamed, Vermeer. From the information we currently have, Since these will be the standard Zen 4-powered chips, we expect to see up to 16 cores and 32 threads once again on the coming Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs.



The brand new Zen 4 architecture is rumored to deliver over 15% single-threaded performance gain over Zen 3 and hit clock speeds of around 5 GHz as demoed by them at CES 2022. The demo featured an undisclosed Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 CPU running at 5 GHz across all cores (core count not mentioned) which means that single-thread clock speed would be beyond 5 GHz. We can expect up to a 5 GHz all-core boost on the next-generation Zen 4-powered platform. The CPUs will also come equipped with RDNA 2 iGPU which would be usable through HDMI 2.1 FRL and DP 1.4 connectors on the latest AM5 motherboards.

The AMD Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs will feature a perfect square shape (45x45mm) but will house a very chonky integrated heat spreader or IHS. The CPUs will be the same length, width, and height as the existing Ryzen Desktop CPUs and are sealed across the sides so applying thermal paste won't fill the interior of the IHS with TIM. That's also why current coolers will be fully compatible with Ryzen 7000 chips.
