AMD Zen 4 CPU with 5.2 GHz Boost and RDNA 2 iGPU surfaces
AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7000 (Raphael) processor is exposed. On Twitter Petykemano discovered the unknown 5nm chip in the OpenBenchmarking database.
The Ryzen 7000 processor has eight Zen 4 cores with simultaneous multithreading (100-000000666-20 Y) (SMT). A Zen 4 chip with a similar identification was seen in January. The eight-core, 16-thread portion should be the Ryzen 7 7800X, the successor to the popular Ryzen 7 5800X. For Halo Infinite, AMD teased a Ryzen 7000 CPU with an all-core boost rate exceeding 5 GHz.
The OpenBenchmarking Zen 4 processor is an engineering prototype, but its 5.21 GHz boost clock is outstanding. It outperforms any AMD mainstream chip currently available. For example, the Ryzen 9 5950X tops out at 4.9 GHz, whereas the Ryzen 7 5800X tops out at 4.7 GHz. Raphael also shows what AMD can do with Zen 4 on TSMC's 5nm technology. The N5 node, according to the Taiwanese foundry, is 30% more power efficient or 15% faster than the 7nm node utilized for AMD's current Ryzen 5000 (Vermeer) series.
AMD's next-generation Ryzen processors may include integrated graphics, notably RDNA 2 graphics. The Zen 4 processor contains a graphics engine dubbed "GFX1036" that runs between 1,000 and 2,000 MHz. The clock speed appears reasonable, with potential for improvement. The Radeon 680M used in Ryzen 6000 reaches 2,400 MHz.
AMD's RDNA 2 graphics engine is used in the Radeon RX 6000-series (Big Navi) graphics cards and the Ryzen 6000 (Rembrandt) processors. GFX1036 clearly belongs to the RDNA 2 family. AMD just added the GFX1036 and GFX1037 graphics IP blocks to the RadeonSI Linux driver, according to Phoronix. AMD's Van Gogh APUs, Navi 24 (Beige Goby), and Rembrandt (Yellow Carp) mobile CPUs all get the same treatment. Splinter-RPL (WS22427N000 BIOS) could be the codename for the reference AM5 platform. Sadly, the story just mentioned 16GB. Various sources say the AM5 platform will only support DDR5 memory, making it a premium platform given the high cost of early DDR5 memory kits. With its 12th Generation Alder Lake CPUs, Intel allows users to choose between DDR4 and DDR5.
AMD's recent roadmap announced the Ryzen 7000 for late-year release. But Raphael's mobile counterpart, Dragon Range, won't arrive until 2023.

The Radeon 680m in the R7 6800U/H is 12CUs already at 6nm(7nm++) and that's for laptops. There were leaks that said that Zen4 APUs will have 16-24CUs.

fanta ! nothing wrong with your post it was napkin math to begin with and for the rest i am saying if we somehow solve the tuneling and friction / heat issues and we are able to push the ghz waaaaay past what we are now then eventually in this magical scenario lightspeed will be the barrier ...and that assumed light spee = electrecity speed ! i did not claim we are close too ... it is still mind bogling that you only travel 6 cm with the speed of light until the gates switch once !
and to all of you i very welcome corrections ! talking about such things is fascinating !
Yeah it's weird... and the next mind blowing thing in relation to this: We discuss such things, and honestly, just two generations ago, with average education, we probably would not have the education to even discuss this. The common knowledge about physics to even vaguely imagine the stuff here, and even getting a mindset to think about these things, have developed so recently it's cool that we can discuss it here!
Also, @Rattlehead99 : Yes you are absolutely right, electrons don't even have to travel that far! Which only makes it theoretically more hehe.
But yeah, I think the physics is a lot more complicated, But I just like to let the mind slip into those realms with the fellow gurus here, the physics behind that which is our hobby is pretty cool after all.

Hope AMD can reach even higher speed, though IPC and architecture improvement are the best...
Intel probably gonna reach 5.8GHZ and 6.0GHZ with 300W+...
Well this is ES sample and Lisa did show Zen4 running Halo Infinite and said that the CPU was running at 5GHz ALL CORE which is extremely promising and that was quite a while ago now so this 5.2GHz could also be ALL CORE load clocks. I predict it will hit 5.5-5.6GHz single core boost and an all core boost of 5.0-5.2GHz with a base of 4.5-4.7GHz
I think Intel will boast a lot about their next CPU's which I believe will have massively increased clocks for the P cores possibly around the 5.8GHz mark if not higher. With their E cores also getting a small bump in clocks but even better efficiency. They need to focus on that for their next lineup, Alder Lake got destroyed in reviews for being way too hot and power hungry.
Hopefully it has more than 8CUs/512 GPU cores...
ES sample. Rumours are pointing towards the desktop chips having RDNA3 architecture not RDNA2

Will be end of year / november.
If it was 2 months we would have pictures of retail boxes already
