AMD Ryzen 7000 PRO for desktop announced

Today AMD launches its Zen4 based Ryzen PRO 7000 series.

AMD is refreshing its Ryzen PRO series in less than a year since the 5000 PRO series was released. These desktop CPUs will now use a new AM5 socket which requires a new DDR5 memory. Another key upgrade for the PRO series is PCIe Gen5 support and much higher clocks.

The Ryzen PRO CPUs are now clocked up to 5.4 GHz, so over 700 MHz higher than the Zen3 based series. Overall, the boost frequency has been increased from 400 to 700 MHz, with base clock seeing 100 MHz to 700 MHz boost for comparable SKUs.

Worth adding that all four desktop models feature the same 65W TDP, just like their predecessors. Interestingly, there are no changes to the core count as well, with the flagship Ryzen 9 PRO 7945 featuring 12 cores, Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 with 8 cores and Ryzen 5 PRO 7645 at 6 cores.

Additionally, AMD is launching its mobile Ryzen PRO 7000 series including three HS (35-54W) models and three U (15-28W) variants. The series will be limited to 8 cores and boost up to 5.2/5.1 GHz.

AMD Ryzen PRO series is designed for commercial and business use with increased security and manageability features. There are several new HP and Lenovo laptops with Ryzen PRO 7040 and 7030 on board coming soon.
