AMD made some bold claims about the performance of its upcoming Ryzen 7000 series desktop-grade CPUs. At a recent webinar on DDR5 DRAM (discovered by WCCFTech), AMD representatives explained how with the help of Samsung, they were confident that very high speeds would be reached.
"Our first DDR5 gaming platform was our Raphael platform, and one of the great things about Raphael is that we're going to try to make a splash when it comes to overclocking." Joseph Tao, AMD's memory support manager, said, "And I'll leave it there, and the speeds you think are impossible might be achieved with this overclocking specification." ”
Currently, AMD is using Samsung's latest DDR5 technology for its next-generation EPYC Genoa enterprise servers. The DDR5 has twice the capacity of DDR4 memory, the chip density is nearly four times that of DDR4 memory, and the lower power consumption helps improve gaming performance.
Some people will be happy to hear any mention of Raphael overclocking. AMD's latest Ryzen7 5800X3D CPU doesn't support overclocking, which is a bit of a surprise for people looking to squeeze as much performance out of the expensive Zen 3 chip.
With the end of the AMD Zen 3 era and the beginning of the Zen 4 era, we're excited to see what Red Factory will have in store for PC gaming.
