AMD unveiled its newest lineup of processors at Computex 2024 this week, with the AMD Ryzen 9000-series desktop processors main the pack.
The AMD Ryzen 9000-series is the observe as much as AMD’s 7000-series processors launched again in 2022, and have about 15% sooner efficiency over their comparable predecessor chips, in keeping with AMD.
The 9000-series is constructed utilizing the next-gen AMD Zen 5 structure, a significant step up from the Zen 4 cores used within the Ryzen 7000-series. In keeping with AMD, the Ryzen 9000-series will stand up to twice as a lot instruction bandwidth, L2 to L1 and L1 to FP information bandwisth, and improved AI efficiency due to AI and AVX512 throughput. Throughout numerous apps from gaming to artistic content material work, the brand new Zen 5 chips ought to get about 16% IPC uplift over Zen 4, which interprets instantly into sooner, extra responsive efficiency in your PC.
The launch lineup for the Ryzen 9000 sequence will embrace the next chips with common specs given per chip:
Header Cell – Column 0 | Cores | Threads | Max enhance clock (GHz) | Cache (MB) | TDP (W) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X | 16 | 32 | 5.700 | 80 | 170 |
AMD Ryzen 9 9900X | 12 | 24 | 5.600 | 76 | 120 |
AMD Ryzen 7 9700X | 8 | 16 | 5.500 | 40 | 65 |
AMD Ryzen 5 9600X | 6 | 12 | 5.400 | 38 | 65 |
Noticeably absent are any 3D V-Cache variants, in addition to a Ryzen 9800X, although these chips are absolutely deliberate for later this yr or early subsequent. In keeping with AMD, the Ryzen 9000 sequence processors will likely be accessible beginning in July 2024, although pricing for the processors remains to be unknown right now.
Additionally of word is that the Ryzen 9 9900X has a roughly 50W decrease TDP than the Ryzen 9 7900X, so there have additionally been some effectivity enhancements, that are all the time a plus.
Whereas the brand new Zen 5 cores could be tricked out with new {hardware} and options, the Ryzen 9000-series doesn’t appear to have a devoted NPU, so any AI work on these chips should be performed the quaint means, specifically together with your graphics card.
AMD beats Intel to the desktop market once more, this time with some room to spare earlier than Intel Arrow Lake
These new AMD Ryzen chips have managed to beat Intel to the market with their next-gen desktop processors, which ought to undoubtedly assist give AMD a lift for a couple of months whereas all of us look ahead to Arrow Lake to launch towards the tip of the yr. Contemplating that Intel hasn’t even introduced Lunar Lake but, it could be some time earlier than Intel could make it to market with its newest desktop silicon, giving AMD a reasonably broad discipline to run in by itself for some time.
That is undoubtedly helped by the truth that the Ryzen 9000-series processors will socket into any AM5 motherboard, so in the event you’ve obtained a last-generation Ryzen chip and also you wish to make the improve, you will not have to purchase any extra tools to take action.
All Ryzen 9000 chips will (solely) assist DDR5, and there are devoted PCIe 5.0 assist for each graphics and NVMe SSDs on the identical time, so you will not must sacrifice PCIe 5.0 SSD speeds when PCIe 5.0 graphics playing cards are lastly launched.
So now that AMD has thrown down the gauntlet, we’ll have to attend and see what Intel does later this yr.
