Ryzen 7000 Raphael Zen4 IHS Design Render Surfaces

Granted it's a long way out, but we do like the Star Trek Borg-styled heat spreader. ExecuFix has unveiled a CPU design for Raphael aka ZEN4 Ryzen processors.

Based on what he knows (and yes we do understand that is relative), he carved out a design of the processor package. ExecuFix earlier unveiled the bottom design of the AM5 package, which would retain the size of AM4 CPUs: 40x40mm. The Zen4 CPU package would only be slightly smaller than Alder Lake (1600 mm2 vs 1687 mm2) mentions Videocardz.

ZEN4 will thus get an AM5 socket, DDR5 memory support and of course PCIe Gen4.0. The Raphael CPUs would also get 4 mour lanes, 28 PCIe lanes. These processors are a long way out, maybe fourth quarter of 2022.

Imagine testing coolers on that thing daily... what a nightmare to clean :eek:

I highly doubt it will look like that - you want as much metal as possible to help with cooling, so doesnt make any sense to make those cutouts.

Broadwell E/Xeon v4 is similar

It only has cut outs in the feet, not the heat spreader itself

It also seems kind of pointless to make them more complicated from a manufacturing point of view. You only see a CPU when it's outside of the system, so making it look cool or something doesn't seem overly relevant, over any other factors to consider. I wonder how those IHS parts are even made. Cold forging? The more complicated the shape, the worse the outcome. I find it hard to believe they would be machined. Maybe hot forging can be used. I haven't got a clue.
