AMD showed off the Ryzen 7000 processor at CES 2022 and confirmed the launch of this line of desktop PCs in the second half of this year. And now a couple of engineering samples of a new family of CPUs have appeared in the MilkyWay @ Home base of the voluntary distributed computing project in the field of astrophysics. They are labeled as follows: AMD Eng Sample: 100-000000665-21_N [Family 25 Model 96 Stepping 0] and AMD Eng Sample: 100-000000666-21_N [Family 25 Model 96 Stepping 0].

The Number of processors column displays the number of threads, I'm not cores. So, in fact, the CPUs are 8- and 16-cores. They have 1 MB of L2 cache for each pair of cores and 64 MB of L3 cache.

In terms of performance, in floating point and integer operations, the engineering sample of the 8-core Ryzen 7000 bypasses the current flagship 16-core Ryzen 9 5950X, and in the second case, five times.

Of course, such tasks are quite specific, and in reality, if we talk about performance in ordinary applications and games, there will be no such gap in performance. But here we must also take into account the fact that the Ryzen 7000 has not been finalized at the moment - by the time they are released, the performance will clearly grow. So now we can say that the Ryzen 7000 will not disappoint with its performance.
