Jim Keller Teases AMD Zen 5 Performance in Tenstorrent Presentation: 30% Faster Than Zen 4

[Tsing]

During a recent keynote in India covering his company's latest RISC-V chips for AI models, Tenstorrent CEO Jim Keller pulled up a slide that compares the performance of AMD's Zen 5 architecture against a range of competitors, and it appears to blow pretty much all of them out of the water. As spotted by PC Gamer, the numbers suggest that Zen 5 will be 30% faster than Zen 4, with relative operating frequencies alluding to IPC gains of around 23%. Roadmaps shared by AMD have indicated that the Zen 5 architecture, which will debut in products that include the Ryzen 8000 Series of desktop processors, is due by 2024.

Is that with or without DLSS?

Oh, sorry I got confused there for a bit. Still, kind of an odd drop there - I know Keller is probably very proud of Zen and all, but he hasn't worked at AMD in quite some time. Makes me wonder exactly how he would have access to this kind of info, and even if he does legitimately have access, what NDAs he may have just crapped all over dropping this. Or - tin foil hat - if it was a sanctioned and "accidental" drop to stir up buzz...

Can't wait to see Intel's response, that hits 750W peak and runs at a 6.5Ghz Turbo frequency.

LOL, I love seeing efficiency gains! If he did design on the new zen core however long ago it makes sense he can talk about it. Especially if he was a consultant.
