AMD promises big leap in Overclocking

AMD claims that the Zen 4-based Raphael processors would "truly strive to make a splash with overclocking." Because of the numerous advances and mature technology, CPUs could be rather fascinating.

In an interview with " Meet The Experts ", AMD pledges Zen 4 advancement on Ryzen 7000 OC.

"Our first DDR5 platform for gaming is our Raphael platform, and one of the great things about it Raphael is that we're going to really try to make a splash with the overclock, and I'll just leave it at that, but speeds you might not have thought are possible with this overclocking spec," said Memory Enabling Manager Joshep Tao.

The interpretation of these words is now one of the hot problems in the hardware world. Was Tao merely referring to the storage because that was the focus of the personnel and the event? Is it also regarding the core clock?

Users would be pleased with the latter as well, given the current Ryzen generation does not offer infinite scope for OC attempts that are still practical, i.e. can be cooled with standard methods.

AMD may have discovered something by switching to 5nm from TSMC and improving its architecture. Finally, it's a matter of prestige between AMD and Intel. RAMP, or the Ryzen Accelerated Memory Profile for AM5, has finally been implemented.

New OC options have often circulated in the rumor mill, and they may also wind up in the Ryzen Master Utility. AMD has time on its side in the fourth expansion stage, as well: Robert Hallock has already stated that the technology is maturing.

Intel's high clock rates are ultimately owing to the core architecture being massed there for many years. As a result, if you have a bit more experience, Ryzen with V-Cache should also have OC in the future.

The AMD Zen 4 is due in the late third and early fourth quarters, while TSMC is set to begin mass manufacturing this month. In addition to increased OC, Zen 4 is expected to have larger caches, with the L2 reportedly increasing to 1 MiB per core.

The CPUs are claimed to have up to 16 cores and a TDP of up to 170 watts, with the big one, likely falling between 65 and 105 watts.

The developer of the Ryzen Clock Tuner, Yuri "1usmus" Bubliy, has already promised Hydra compatibility, which should aid with the OC - particularly with the Curve Optimizer.

A lot has changed with Zen 4 in other ways as well: DDR5 is on the way, as is an IGP, although a rudimentary one. Approximately a year ago, speculation regarding 29 percent more IPC circulated.

AMD should be the only company to offer hybrid technology with Zen 5 and Granite Ridge.
