AMD expected to launch new Ryzen 9000 Zen 5 CPUs in July

AMD’s Ryzen 9000 Desktop CPU launch plans have leaked 6-16-core CPU models are coming!

Over on Chiphell, the leaker known as wjm47196 has stated that AMD plans to release their Ryzen 9000 series of Zen 5 desktop processors in July. Furthermore, they have stated that AMD’s new Zen 5 lineup will feature the same core counts as their Ryzen 7000 series.

At launch, AMD are expected to release processors with 6 cores, 8 cores, 12 cores, and 16 cores. Sadly, wjm47196 has made no mention of any V-Cache enhanced X3D series Zen 5 processors. This suggests that AMD’s Ryzen 9000 X3D Zen 5 CPUs will be launching at a later date.

Given their core count parity with their predecessors, AMD’s new Zen 5 series processors must rely primarily on single-threaded improvements to deliver performance gains. This can either come through improved CPU clock speeds or through IPC improvements. Either way, notable single-threaded performance improvements are expected with Zen 5. Some leakers have claimed that AMD’s Zen 5 CPUs will be 40% faster than their predecessors.

We expect AMD to reveal their next-generation Ryzen processors during their Computex 2024 keynote. This keynote will be hosted on June 3rd.
