PulseStacks reported on March 30th that a source, @Kepler_L2, recently leaked information suggesting that in SPEC benchmark tests, the single-core performance of AMD Zen 5 is purportedly 40% faster than Zen 4. However, it wasn't explicitly stated whether this improvement pertains to integer or floating-point metrics.
If the above information is accurate, then AMD Zen 5 is expected to deliver significant performance improvements. This also harkens back to AMD's initial goals set for the first-generation Zen (1) core architecture: a 40% increase in IPC over Excavator, although it actually surpassed this target with a 52% improvement upon release.

There isn't much information leaked about the AMD Zen 5 core architecture at the moment. However, according to official statements from AMD, the focus seems to be on improving performance and efficiency, integrating AI, and optimizing machine learning.
As reported by pulsestacks earlier, AMD has started distributing test samples of the next-generation Zen 5 mobile processors, Strix Point and Fire Range. Some details were exposed through shipping manifests.
