Q & A

What new feature has AMD officially released in their latest drivers?

AMD has officially released fluid motion frames in their latest drivers. This is a driver-level frame generation technology that can boost FPS by up to 97% in many games.

What is fluid motion frames and how does it work?

Fluid motion frames is a frame generation technology that takes one frame, predicts what the next frame will be, and inserts an extra 'fake' frame in between. This boosts the frame rate, but can add some latency.

What new Intel driver combines desktop and notebook GPU drivers?

Intel released a new driver that combines their desktop and notebook GPU drivers. It leads to big performance gains, like 11% higher average FPS in many games.

What information did we get about AMD's upcoming mid-range APUs?

Leaked information says AMD's upcoming mid-range Kraken Point APUs will have a hybrid Zen 5 and Zen 5c core design, RDNA3 graphics, and improved integrated GPU performance.

What will AMD's next-gen Ryzen 5000 series be called?

According to leaks, AMD's next-gen Zen 5 platform will be called Ryzen 9000 when it launches, likely between April and June 2023.

What manufacturing process will Ryzen 9000 use?

Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs will be manufactured on TSMC's 4nm process for improved efficiency and performance.

What IPC gains are expected with Zen 5?

Early reports indicate Zen 5 and Ryzen 9000 may have double-digit IPC gains compared to Zen 4 and Ryzen 7000, possibly 15-25% higher.

How could Ryzen 9000 affect Intel's market position?

With a potential 15-25% IPC increase, Ryzen 9000 could threaten Intel's performance leadership even with Raptor Lake. Meteor Lake may now be at risk.

Will Ryzen 9000 use the same socket as Ryzen 7000?

Yes, AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9000 CPUs will continue to use the AM5 socket and platform that launched with Ryzen 7000.

What hybrid core design will Kraken Point APUs use?

Early reports say Kraken Point will have four Zen 5 CPU cores and four Zen 5c efficiency cores, continuing AMD's big/little hybrid approach.
