Ryzen 7000 could hit 5.85GHz on the flagship model

In addition to the novelties of the Zen 4 architecture, what awaits us on the Ryzen 7000s are significantly higher peak frequencies than the current series of CPUs. As we have anticipated in the past, AMD will adopt new technologies to push not only the frequencies of the new DDR5 RAM, but also of the processor cores. So far we knew for sure, thanks to the demo shown during Computex 2022, that the Ryzen 7000s were capable of reaching a maximum frequency of 5.5 GHz; however, according to new information from the Angstronomics newspaper and reported by Wccftech, the new CPUs could have an even more boost frequency.

Last week AMD had issued a press release where the info regarding the specifications of socket AM5 power supply. The new platform can in fact deliver a maximum power of 230W, supporting a TDP of 170W. During the podcast held by PCWorld, AMD's Robert Hallock & Frank Azor also confirmed that the CPU shown at Computex 2022, a specimen with a maximum frequency of 5.5 GHz on most of its 16 cores, performed below the TDP of 170W.

These frequencies will obviously only be reachable on the top-of-the-range motherboards with X670E chipset, equipped with the VRMs needed to manage the power requirements of the new CPUs. In any case, this seems to be just the beginning of a GHz race on maximum frequencies. It is more than likely that in the near future the two main CPU manufacturers will propose models where the 6 GHz wall will be reached and exceeded.

Recall that the Ryzen 7000 are expected for launch after the summer, in a period close to that of Raptor Lake CPUs, which according to recent rumors should arrive in autumn.
