Earlier today at Computex 2022, the ASUS ROG Swift 500Hz gaming monitor was unveiled during Nvidia‘s presentation. So let’s take a look at what the new ROG monitor has in store for gamers.

As the name implies, the ROG Swift 500Hz is the first display to achieve a 500Hz refresh rate. It does so by using an E-TN panel (Esports TN) that is claimed to be 60% more responsive than a regular TN LCD panel. The display itself measures 24.1-inch in size and offers an FHD resolution (1920 x 1080).

The monitor also offers NVIDIA G-SYNC and comes with an improved mode for esports called “Esports Vibrance.” The Esports Vibrance mode allows for more light to pass through the LCD crystals, making the colors appear more vivid.

Other than the core features, the monitor also supports the NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer, which provides latency-related stats with just a few clicks. Nvidia has also tuned the monitor to provide optimal performance in current major E-sports FPS titles like CS:GO, Valorant, Overwatch, and Rainbow Six Siege.

The latest 500Hz monitor might now be everyone’s cup of tea with its 1080p resolution and 24.1-inch display size, however, the brand has made this monitor with E-sports enthusiasts and professionals in mind. So the monitor is likely to come with a hefty price tag whenever ASUS decides to make it available on the market.

Computex Taipei 2022 has officially kicked off today, from May 23rd to May 27th at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center in Taiwan. And the first official event of the week-long programme is headed by semiconductor giant, AMD with its 2022 AMD Keynote Conference for the audience. 

At the Computex 2022 Keynote event today, AMD had finally pulled the sheets of its latest breakthrough products to the technology industry – its Ryzen 7000 desktop series processors and the company’s long-awaited AM5 socket motherboards.

Ryzen 7000 Desktop Processors

The Ryzen 7000 Series Desktop Processors are the successors to last year’s Ryzen 5000 series desktop processors. They are built on AMD’s latest Zen 4 architecture fabbed on TSMC’s industry-leading advanced 5nm node manufacturing process. For context, TSMC 5nm was found earliest on ARM-based devices like Apple’s iPhone 12 series, but for x86-based systems, AMD is the world’s first chip supplier to bring TSMC 5nm technology to the desktop PC scene.

As for the specifics, the AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors based on Zen 4 architecture are built just like Zen 3, in a chiplet-based design, but this time with the two Core Complex Dies manufactured on TSMC’s 5nm node. 

In addition, AMD is also introducing a new 6 nm I/O die (IOD) for Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors. Unlike the 14 nm Global Foundries IOD used in previous Zen 3 designs, AMD has now gone to TSMC for its 6nm manufacturing process for its IOD in Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors. 

With the manufacturing partner change, AMD is also incorporating an integrated GPU, to what is supposed to be just the Ryzen 7000 series desktop CPUs. And the GPU is not the Vega-based GPUs you would find in entry-level AMD models, this GPU will be built on AMD‘s RDNA2 architecture, the same architecture for the company’s dedicated graphic cards.

Thus, all of AMD‘s Ryzen 7000 series CPUs will technically be APUs as well, as graphics are now woven into the CPU’s construction. As Anandtech reports, “What this means for the future of AMD‘s monolithic desktop APUs is uncertain, but at a minimum, it means that all (or virtually all) of AMD‘s CPUs will be suitable for use in systems without discrete graphics, which although not a huge deal for consumer systems, is very much a big deal for corporate/commercial systems”.

AMD also showed off an unannounced 16-core Ryzen 7000 CPU at the keynote today running on the PC game Ghostwire: Tokyo, and the performance numbers have been shocking as the event showed off the unannounced Ryzen 7000 CPU running at over 5.5GHz, which is higher than not only AMD’s own top-end Ryzen 5000 processors from last year but also higher than Intel’s current 12th Gen Core i9 Processors.

Last, AMD disclosed that Zen 4 will come with 1MB of L2 cache per CPU core, which is twice the amount of L2 cache as found on Zen 3 (and Zen 2) CPU cores, and together with the company’s claims of 15% IPC uplift in single-core performance, the Ryzen 7000 series will be leading the competition.

No specific models of Ryzen 3, 5 or 7 models of Ryzen 7000 series desktop series processors were announced in today’s event, but AMD CEO, Dr Lisa Su confirms that the company will be holding a launch event for its Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors coming this fall in the upcoming months.

AM5 Socket Motherboards

Coming to AM5 Socket Motherboards, the new AM5 motherboards have an LGA-type socket with 1718 pins,  and introduces DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 support, as well as higher processor TDPs to the Ryzen 7000 family. The Ryzen 7000 desktop series processors will be the company’s first-ever Ryzen processors to run on AM5, which also means that AMD is officially retiring its 5-year-old AM4 motherboard technology.

The new AM5 socket motherboards come with native support for up to 170W of TDP, DDR5 and PCIe Gen 5.0 support, and are surprisingly compatible with AM4 motherboard coolers as well.

AMD unveiled the 3 new AM5 motherboard chipsets at the Computex 2022 today – the X670E, X670, and B650. All three models support the latest PCIE Gen 5 standard but for a more detailed look on how PCIE Gen 5 works on all 3 motherboards, you can refer to the table below.

AMD have revealed that with the collaboration with its motherboard partners, the company is ready to provide AM5 motherboards to the general public which include the ASRock X670E Taichi, the ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme, the Biostar X670E Valkyrie, the GIGABYTE X670 Aorus Xtreme, and the MSI MEG X670E Ace motherboards.

The AM5 motherboards are also coming this fall together with AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors.
