AMD Ryzen 5000 live blog: will AMD strike the final blow against Intel? null
AMD is getting ready to launch its Zen 3 processors for the first time, and while we first thought we’d be getting Ryzen 4000 processors, it looks like AMD is going to skip straight to 5000 for its next enthusiast desktop platform for gamers and content creators.
Make sure you check out our how to watch the AMD Zen 3 launch online to view the reveal live.
This time around, we don’t think we’ll see a massive shift in the amount of cores, as these Zen 3 processors will also be based on TSMC’s 7nm manufacturing process, instead we expect a nice boost in efficiency and clock speed.
If AMD can bump up single-core performance by ratcheting up clock speed and IPC (instructions per clock) performance, it could finally dethrone Intel as the best processor for gaming. And, given that AMD is labelling this livestream as “Where Gaming Begins” we think the chances are high that this is exactly what Team Red is planning on doing.

[9:20 am] Coffee, check. Looking forward to what AMD’s next-generation desktop processors are going to look like. Hopefully a big focus of the event is on single-core, because AMD is still lagging behind Intel in this (and only this, let’s be real) area.
It’s been so much fun getting ready. Looking forward to sharing what’s next for @AMDRyzen. 😊 Join me tomorrow – October 8 at 11 CT https://t.co/hLv7CGFuQi #GameOnAMD pic.twitter.com/2sNd5IOFGhOctober 7, 2020
