Made with a 7 nm production system, the CPUs increase both the boost frequency and the IPC (+ 19%). They are designed to meet the most advanced gaming needs, but they can also have their say on the PCs of those who have to deal with heavy workloads or content creation on a daily basis, especially in the top-of-the-range Ryzen 9 5950X incarnation. Below are the announced models and the economic outlay at launch in parentheses. The specifications are in fact those anticipated in recent days by the many rumors that have ended up on the Net. For all the release is scheduled for November 5th.
