AMD claims that Zen 5 offers a 16% IPC performance improvement over Zen 4 and a 14% general performance advantage over 14th-generation Intel chips. Independent reviews are currently evaluating these claims.
Competition from Zen 4 remains strong in the short term, as Ryzen 7000 CPUs are available at lower prices until existing stock is depleted. The Ryzen 7950X, 7900X, 7700X, and 7600X are currently priced at $522, $358, $286, and under $200, respectively.
