The AMD Ryzen 7000 line has been out for five months, but details about the next-generation Zen 5-based Ryzen 8000 line have already started to come out. When showing its product schedule for the next few years, the company has talked a lot about the architecture. We already know when the game will come out and have a few other details.
Team Red, unlike Intel, has slowly moved to releasing new process nodes every two years. So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Zen 5 processors won’t be available until about a year and a half from now.
This article will go over everything we know about the upcoming processors and what we can expect from them.
AMD’s Ryzen 8000 chips with Zen 5 could be a game-changer for the company.
Each new generation of AMD chips is much faster than the last. The Zen 4 is a huge improvement over the Zen 3-based Ryzen 5000 chips from the last generation. It leaves the Ryzen 3000 processors in the dust when CPU-intensive tasks are being done.
But with a 3nm manufacturing process node and better RDNA 3+ graphics cores, the upcoming processors will be huge. The company has given them the ambitious name “Strix Point” processors, and the group of them is known internally as “Granite Ridge.”
There are rumors that the next processors will have a much larger L1 cache and a single L2 cache. As the 3D lineup shows, a faster and bigger cache can make a big difference in how well a processor works.
The Ryzen 8000 APUs will also have a shared L4 cache. This will help the GPU work more efficiently by letting it do graphics processing without using system memory. So, AMD has planned some important changes for the chips’ inner workings.
When will Ryzen 8000 be available to buy?
Team Red hasn’t fully launched the Ryzen 7000 chips based on Zen 4 yet. The company hasn’t yet put APUs with RDNA 3+ on the market for cheap gamers. So, the Zen 5 lineup won’t be announced by the company any time soon.
AMD has said that the Zen 5 processors will be released in 2024. If past experience is any indication, the company will probably release them in the fall, probably in September.
At first, only high-end “X” chips will be made available. The Ryzen 9 8950X, the Ryzen 9 8900X, the Ryzen 7 8700X, and the Ryzen 5 8600X, which costs $300, should all be on the list.
In the coming months, the Ryzen 8000 3D, non-X, and APU lines should be released.
Ryzen 8000 CPUs are getting faster.
Also, the chips are expected to improve the number of instructions per cycle (IPC) by 22–30%, which could put the Zen 4-based Ryzen 7000 chips to shame.
Team Red also has big plans to make the next-generation chips have more cores. RedGamingTech, a reliable leaker, said that the Ryzen 8900 series of CPUs could have up to 32 CPU cores. In terms of the number of cores, Intel has already passed Team Red. So, the company that makes Ryzen has some catching up to do.
AMD might be able to get much higher performance gains with these chips, though, if they use the same core and make it work better and faster. When these Team Red processors come out, Intel is likely to work on its 7nm Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake lines. So, there will be a fierce battle for computer power next year.
We don’t yet know a lot about the upcoming Ryzen 8000 chips. So, for the time being, we can’t make any more educated guesses without getting away from what the CPUs are really like.
