The PC Gaming world and gamers themselves know how crucial a CPU and a Graphics Card Unit (GPU) can be when it comes to high-end gaming. A good quality CPU and GPU deliver the ultimate quality, faster delivery, and sheer experience.
Next year will be quite a crazy one for PC gamers because of the anticipated big release such as the long awaited RTX 4060. Newcomer Intel are also ready to impress the PC gaming world by introducing their ARC cards.
Likewise, AMD is also razor-focused on introducing the “Pinnacle of PC gaming performance” by launching some higher than mid-range gaming CPUs, built with the highest core, thread, and cache ever.
Let’s talk about them.
AMD Zen 4
AMD has revealed some information about their upcoming Ryzen 7000 series processors which will be based on the Zen 4 architecture. The Raphael chips used inside will uplift the desktop workloads by 8%. Moreover, we can also expect a 15% increase in single-threaded performance and 25% in per-watt performance.
AMD also provided the roadmap of its 2023 releases which says that Zen 4 and RDNA 3-based APU named Phoenix Point will be released in early 2023. Threadripper processor, based on Zen 4, will also be released in 2023.
AMD Zen 5
The Zen 5 CPU named Granite Ridge is something that we can also expect by the end of 2023. The only news we have till now is that the AMD Zen 5 will be based on a secretive Advanced Node, which will be a league of its own.
Intel ARC GPU
Intel bringing its debutant ARC GPU named Alchemist will be a hint of fresh air. The speculations have shown that Intel might be aiming for the mid-range market at the start. The Alchemist GPU can give the likes of RTX 3070 Ti a run for its money.
The upcoming DG3 cards will be known as Battlemage, and it is most likely to have an impact on the high-end market once it is released.
Intel Xeon
Intel is most likely to release its Future Xeon processors in 2023. This new edition will have 18% better performance than its predecessor Meteor Lake which will arrive later this year. The CPU will comprise 16 performance and 16 efficiency cores that make a total of 32 cores with 48 threads.
Conclusion
The PC gaming world will be rocked in 2023 when such major releases take place. If you want to bench your current rig to see how it will handle next generation games put it through EzBench. With prices plummeting on current generation gaming PCs the question remains whether to wait or buy later?
