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:

Not announced, I wonder if X3D versions will arrive later, to stave off people (ie; like the Gamers Nexus and LTT crews) from figuring out that the better offerings for gaming are cheaper and a few months away… again.

Honestly, that mobile naming convention... It's terrible.

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

Am I correct in understanding that if the new model is a continuation of the 7040/8040 processor series, let's say 9040, you would be fine with that?

Don't know about grigi, but I don't have any idea where you take that from.

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.

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.

2025 will be my time to build a new pc, so I suppose I'll be using a chip from this release cycle? Not sure. I'm more waiting on details on the radeon 8xxx gpus.
