AMD has introduced its new sequence of processors for the desktop and cellular market at Computex 2024. These are based mostly on the corporate’s newest CPU structure and convey improved efficiency, effectivity, options, and a heavy dose of AI capabilities.
Beginning with the brand new desktop chips, AMD is skipping from its present Ryzen 7000 sequence on to Ryzen 9000. These new chips are based mostly on the corporate’s newest Zen 5 structure (codenamed Granite Ridge). Based mostly on TSMC’s newest 4nm FinFET course of, the brand new CPU structure guarantees on common 16% enchancment in IPC (directions per clock) over Zen 4.
AMD shared some primary particulars about this new structure. It consists of an up to date department predictor with improved accuracy and latency efficiency, greater all through with wider pipelines and vectors, and deeper window instruction window sizes for extra parallelism. The corporate claims as much as 2x improve in directions bandwidth thanks to extend in knowledge bandwidth between L1 and L2 caches and improve in AI and AVX512 all through by switching from 256-bit to 512-bit huge SIMD for AVX512.
What stays unchanged is the IO die and the general die format. The Ryzen 9000 chips will nonetheless use one or two CCD for CPU cores based mostly on core depend and an IO die for IO and reminiscence operations. The IO die stays similar to Ryzen 7000 and nonetheless based mostly on TSMC 6nm. The built-in Radeon GPU additionally stays similar with its 2 compute models.

| L3 cache | 64MB | 64MB | 64MB | 64MB | 32MB | 32MB | 32MB | 32MB |
| TDP | 170W | 170W | 120W | 170W | 65W | 105W | 65W | 105W |
Being introduced at present are 4 fashions. These are the standard suspects with 16, 12, 8, and 6-core depend components, particularly, the Ryzen 9950X, 9900X, 9700X, and the 9600X, respectively. In comparison with the earlier technology fashions, the core depend is similar. The increase clocks are additionally related on the 16 and 12 core fashions however greater on the 8 and 6 core fashions. Notable, the bottom clocks have been dropped on all components and consequently, the TDP has dropped on three of the 4 components.
As talked about earlier than, AMD is claiming 16% IPC uplift over Zen 4. AMD additionally in contrast its new flagship 9950X with Intel’s present flagship, the Core i9-14900K, and noticed as much as 21% enchancment in Cinebench 2024 and as much as 56% enchancment in Blender. The advance in gaming is smaller however the firm claims as much as 23% higher efficiency in titles like Horizon Zero Daybreak (which already carried out higher on AMD). After all, these are cherry-picked first occasion outcomes, so take them with a grain of salt.
AMD additionally introduced new X870 and X870E chipsets for motherboards. In comparison with X670 and X670E, we now have obligatory USB 4.0 on all X800 sequence boards in addition to PCIe Gen 5 for graphics and SSD. AMD can be claiming greater EXPO reminiscence overclocking speeds, with the bottom JEDEC spec being up to date from 5200MHz on the Ryzen 7000 to 5600MHz on 9000. The 800 sequence motherboards will assist Ryzen 7000 chips and the present Ryzen 600 sequence motherboards would have the ability to assist Ryzen 9000 with a BIOS replace.
AMD additionally elevated its assist for AM5 from 2025+ to 2027+. This implies, you’re more likely to get assist for one more technology of CPUs down the road, taking it from the earlier two to now three.
Talking of extending assist, AMD is continuous to assist its older AM4 platform with two new components. Launched at present are the Ryzen 7 5800XT and the Ryzen 9 5900XT. The 5800XT is an overclocked model of the 5800X with 100MHz greater increase clock and features a Wraith Prism cooler within the field. Counterintuitively, the 5900XT shouldn’t be an overclocked model of the 5900X however is quite a downclocked model of the 5950X, with the identical 16-core/32-thread design however with 100MHz lowered increase and base clock velocity.

| Core/Threads | 12/24 | 10/20 |
| Core config | 4x Zen 5, 8x Zen 5c | 4x Zen 5, 6x Zen 5c |
| Increase clocks | 5.1GHz | 5GHz |
| Base clocks | 2GHz | 2GHz |

Lastly, AMD additionally introduced two new chipsets for the pocket book market as a part of its new Ryzen AI 300 sequence. These embrace the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and the Ryzen AI 9 365. In comparison with the earlier technology Ryzen 8000 sequence that capped out at 8 cores, the brand new fashions go as much as 12 cores, which embrace a mixture of the brand new Zen 5 cores and slower Zen 5C cores. Additionally they embrace new Radeon 890M graphics and an NPU with 50 TOPs of efficiency, making them suitable with Microsoft’s Copilot+ options. Anticipate to see these components in upcoming notebooks from Acer, ASUS, HP, Lenovo and MSI, who’ve introduced assist of their upcoming merchandise.
Ryzen AI 300
The brand new Ryzen 9000 sequence and the 5000 sequence desktop components will likely be out there in July 2024. AMD has not introduced any pricing as of this writing.
