At CES 2022, AMD showcased its next-generation high-performance computing platform, launching over 30 new products and outlining its roadmap for future technologies. This article dives into the key announcements, including the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Ryzen 7000 Series, Ryzen 6000 Series mobile processors, and the RX 6000M Series mobile graphics.

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D: 3D V-Cache Technology Arrives

After much anticipation, AMD finally launched the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, a significant upgrade to the Ryzen 7 5800X. This new processor leverages 3D V-cache technology, significantly increasing the amount of L3 cache available to the CPU.

While DDR5 memory offers impressive clock speeds, reaching up to 6400MHz, the increased latency can sometimes negate the performance gains for gamers. By increasing the low-latency cache, the 5800X3D aims to improve data processing efficiency and boost gaming performance. Reports suggest AMD chose the Ryzen 7 5800X as the base for this upgrade because many modern games don’t fully utilize more than eight cores, making it a popular choice among gamers.

AMD Ryzen 7000 Series: Zen 4 Architecture and AM5 Socket

Dr. Lisa Su also provided a glimpse into the future with the announcement of the Ryzen 7000 Series. Built on the Zen 4 architecture and using TSMC’s 5nm process node, this next-generation CPU series will utilize the all-new LGA-based AM5 socket, eliminating the risk of bent pins that plagued previous generations. The Ryzen 7000 Series is slated for release in the second half of 2022.

AMD Ryzen 6000 Series and RX 6000M Series: Powering Mobile Performance

Another highlight of AMD’s CES 2022 presentation was the launch of the Ryzen 6000 Series mobile processors and the RX 6000M Series mobile graphics.

AMD Ryzen 6000 Series mobile processors

In recent years, AMD has steadily regained market share in the laptop segment with its Ryzen processors. The Ryzen 6000 Series builds on the success of the 5000 Series, featuring the Zen 3+ architecture and integrated RDNA 2 graphics for powerful yet power-efficient performance.

High-Performance Mobile Computing Platform

Combined with the AMD RX 6000M Series mobile graphics cards, these new processors form a powerful mobile computing platform. Supporting cutting-edge technologies like Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 with LE Audio, PCI Gen 4, and LPDDR5 memory, this platform aims to deliver a premium mobile experience. AMD expects over 200 laptops featuring this platform to launch starting in February 2022.

Conclusion

AMD’s announcements at CES 2022 signal a strong commitment to high-performance computing across desktop and mobile platforms. With the launch of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, a preview of the Ryzen 7000 series, and the introduction of the Ryzen 6000 and RX 6000M mobile platforms, AMD is poised to make significant strides in the coming year. Keep an eye out for these exciting new technologies in the months ahead.
