Core and Ryzen processors both break through the 5GHz mark AMD: clock is not the most important thing | XFastest News

Among the parameters of CPU processor performance, the clock has always been one of the core indicators.Intel Core processors have always dominated this part, breaking through 5GHz for a long time. AMD also announced that the Ryzen 6000 reached 5GHz at CES 2022 at the beginning of the month. Both of them are now breaking through 5GHz.

Of course, Intel is still stronger on the whole, and the acceleration clock is much higher than 5GHz. The Core i9-12900KS released at CES 2022 officially confirmed that the maximum acceleration clock can reach 5.5GHz, which is the height that a single large core can achieve. Compared with the Core i9-12900K, it has increased by 300MHz. At the same time, the large-core all-core acceleration clock is 5.2GHz, which is 400MHz higher than the Core i9-12900K.

AMD desktop Ryzen 5000 has a maximum acceleration clock of 4.9GHz, mobile Ryzen 6000 achieves 5GHz for the first time, and the 5nm Zen 4 architecture Ryzen 7000 at the end of this year will achieve full-core 5GHz, but AMD has not announced the specific number of cores, if it is 8-core 5GHz Also a little surprise.

Now, both processors have exceeded 5GHz, but AMD seems to be reluctant to start a clock war. Robert Hallock, director of technical marketing, said in an interview that in the past two or three years, people’s attention to clock has actually is declining.

According to Robert Hallock, if people realize that a 4.6GHz-4.7GHz Ryzen processor can reliably beat a 5.1GHz-5.2GHz processor, there is a 500MHz-600MHz gap, then the clock is not the most important thing. .

In fact, AMD is also qualified to say the same, its Ryzen 7 5800X3D clock has even dropped to 4.5GHz, but AMD claims that its gaming performance exceeds the Core i9-12900K and its own Ryzen 9 5900X, and is the best gaming processor in the world device.
