If it looks like an immense proportion of the information we cowl currently contains leaks and rumors for upcoming {hardware}, that is as a result of it does. There may be a lot new {hardware} on the way in which from AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, and plenty of different distributors. In fact, our focus is on PC {hardware} and adjoining applied sciences, so naturally it is the massive three we’re normally enthusiastic about.
Basemark GPU
We have not seen many leaks of Zen 4 CPUs but. Again in March we noticed a Geekbench leak that presupposed to be an EPYC Genoa CPU with Zen 4 cores, and that is about it till at this time’s leak. Noticed by TUM_APISAK on Twitter, the entry within the Basemark GPU database describes a system with an “AMD Eng Pattern: 100-000000593-20_Y” CPU.
It will be an inexpensive guess in any case that this was an early Zen 4 chip, however the motherboard is listed as a GIGABYTE X670E AORUS MASTER. X670E, in fact, is the top-end chipset configuration for AMD’s socket AM5, at the least within the first era. Given the very clear incompatibility between sockets AM4 and AM5, that signifies that this have to be a Ryzen 7000 sequence processor.
The chip has 6 cores, and Basemark registered its clock charge as 4400 MHz. That is fairly attention-grabbing, as a result of this benchmark usually lists a processor’s base clock in that area. For instance, our Ryzen 7 5800X3D will get marked down for a 3400 MHz base clock—totally 1 GHz slower. That does not imply that Ryzen 7000 sequence chips will launch with hilariously-high base clock charges, thoughts you, nevertheless it’s attention-grabbing nonetheless.
Now, Basemark GPU is clearly a GPU benchmark, nevertheless it nonetheless advantages from quicker CPUs and principal reminiscence pace, significantly the latter. If we might discover a benchmark of the same system utilizing the identical video card, we might examine the 2 to see the distinction. Certainly, @harukaze5719 did simply that, finding a consequence within the PowerBoard database with a Ryzen 9 5950X CPU and the identical RTX A4000 GPU (much like RTX 3070.)
Evaluating the 2 outcomes utilizing 포시포시’s helpful graph, we will see that the Zen 4 chip outpaces the 16-core Zen 3 chip by over 11% in minimal FPS. The common FPS distinction is a little bit smaller, however these are nonetheless spectacular beneficial properties in what’s primarily a GPU-bound benchmark. Given the qualities of this benchmark, we suspect a lot of the distinction is all the way down to the newer chip’s DDR5 reminiscence, nevertheless it’s not possible to say for certain till we get our arms on one in all these puppies.
