Things are heating up again in the hardware space, with AMD now formally revealing the new Zen 5 Ryzen Processors.
For desktop PCs this will come with the AMD Ryzen 9000 series, along with two new chipsets for socket AM5 that will be AMD X870E and X870 with support for PCIe 5.0, DDR5, USB4, and WIFI7. The new desktop models they revealed are below:
| Model | Cores / Threads |
Boost / Base Frequency | Total Cache | PCIe | TDP |
| AMD Ryzen 9 9950X | 16 / 32 | Up to 5.7 GHz / 4.3 GHz |
80MB | Gen 5 | 170W |
| AMD Ryzen 9 9900X | 12 / 24 | Up to 5.6 GHz / 4.4 GHz |
76MB | Gen 5 | 120W |
| AMD Ryzen 7 9700X | 8 / 16 | Up to 5.5 GHz / 3.8 GHz |
40MB | Gen 5 | 65W |
| AMD Ryzen 5 9600X | 6 / 12 | Up to 5.4 GHz / 3.9 GHz |
38MB | Gen 5 | 65W |
From what AMD said the new processors with Zen 5 provide "an impressive average 16% better IPC performance compared to the prior generation of Ryzen". They're also putting down a firm claim that the top-end AMD Ryzen 9 9950X will be the fastest consumer desktop CPU in the world.
The new desktop processors are due in July, 2024.
When it comes to ultrathin laptops they also announced new models. AMD say these feature a "dedicated AI engine built on new AMD XDNA 2 architecture" and they also come with the new AMD RDNA 3.5 graphics architecture which include:
| Model | Cores / Threads |
Boost / Base Frequency | Total Cache |
Graphics Model |
cTDP | NPU |
| AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 | 12 / 24 | 5.1 GHz / 2.0 GHz |
36MB | AMD Radeon 890M Graphics | 15-54W | Yes (50 TOPs) |
| AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 | 10 / 20 | 5.0 GHz / 2.0GHz |
34MB | AMD Radeon 880M Graphics | 15-54W | Yes (50 TOPs) |
AMD say the new graphics will provide "console-class gaming on the go" and that the "Radeon 890M graphics has the fastest integrated graphics in its class".

So many people I know absolutely despise anything "AI". (That includes me)

Don't know about grigi, but I don't have any idea where you take that from.
Quoting: grigiHonestly, that mobile naming convention... It's terrible.

I started using AI for some aspects of software development (no code generation) and found it to be helpful in many (but not all) cases.

Yeah, but they only talked about the name and nothing else?!?
Quoting: EikeYeah, but they only talked about the name and nothing else?!?7040/8040 it's first AMD CPU what contains NPU block XDNA in 7040 and XDNA+ in 8040, and "new", by rumors it's called 9040", AMD Ryzen AI 300 just have updated XDNA2 block, to make it compatible with Microsoft Copilot+PC requirements 40+TOPS

The previous naming convention would end up calling these ones 8850/9850. It's a continuation of those models, yes.
It looks like a great CPU, just, I hate the name.
