The next-gen AMD Ryzen 7000 series CPUs will have support for DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 support, with the flagship X670E capable of PCIe 5.0 GPUs and SSDs of the future. The new Zen 4 processors will be using the latest AM5 socket (LGA1718) and work with AM4 coolers, with AMD promising over 15% single-thread uplift and over 5GHz+ boost CPU clocks. But...

Tom at Moore's Law is Dead is right... I think we're going to get a BIG surprise during AMD's actual Computex 2022 keynote.

AMD even says "over 15%" here... but how much more? Much more, I'd say.
