Amd ryzen officially released, 52% more ipc than previous generation

Finally AMD has launched the new AMD Ryzen processors, the new generation of desktop chips that promise to bring us a real revolution in relation to the relationship between price and performance. AMD has exceeded its goal of offering a 40% improvement in the IPC, so it is more prepared than ever to fight from you to you with the all-powerful Intel.

AMD Ryzen, features, performance and price

The launch of AMD Ryzen takes place in style, the first chips that will be available are the highest performance chips with an 8-core configuration and 16 processing threads, these are the Ryzen 7 1800X, Ryzen 7 1700X and Ryzen 7 1700. The presale of all of them starts from today and it will be on March 2 when they officially go on sale.

The most impressive of the three processors mentioned is that they have a TDP of only 95W and are at the level of the most powerful Intel processors in terms of performance per clock cycle, better known as IPC. The Ryzen R7 1700 is priced at just $ 329 and is close to the level of the Core i7-6900K that costs more than $ 1, 000. The new XFR technology will further enhance the performance of new processors by raising their operating frequency above turbo speed if good cooling is available, this technology works based on processor temperature.

AMD promised a 40% increase in CPI thanks to the new Zen architecture but its engineering team, led by legendary Jim Keller most of the time, has managed to exceed its goals and the new AMD Ryzen offer an improvement in CPI of 52% compared to the previous Excavator core. With these figures, the new microarchitecture stands above Intel Broadwell and more or less on par with Slylake. This improvement represents the largest jump in CPU performance seen in the last 6 years or even more.

Ryzen silicon includes a whopping 4.8 billion transistors that have been conscientiously placed over more than two million hours of development and four years of work. Comparatively Intel Broadwells include 3.4 billion transistors. AMD Ryzen marks the start of a new multi-year roadmap that will include markets as varied as workstations, mobile equipment and the HPC sector.
