X user @wxnod Published a presentation from Gigabyte about new motherboards with the AMD 800 chipset for the AM5 socket. The compression levers aren't easy to read, but the CPU names Ryzen 9 9950X, Ryzen 9 9900X, Ryzen 7 9700X, and Ryzen 5 9600 are clearly visible.
Ryzen 9000: Up to 16 cores, up to 170W TDP
The presentation also shows that there will be 16 CPU cores and 32 threads through up to two Ryzen 9 chipsets as well as variants with 65 to 170W TDP and 32MB L3 cache per CCD. AMD's Zen 5-based desktop CPUs in TSMC N4 production will follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, though this time AMD's Ryzen 5 will debut as a non-X variant – the Ryzen 7000 made four X models initially.
- AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, 16 Zen 5 cores
- AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, 12 Zen 5 cores
- AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, 8 Zen 5 cores
- AMD Ryzen 5 9600 processor, 6 Zen 5 cores
The new generation memory clock has been increased from DDR5-5200 to DDR5-5600, and DDR5-8000 has been approved via XMP/EXPO. On older AM5 boards with 600 chipsets, the maximum was DDR5-7200. Infinity Fabric's clock increases from 2000 to 2400 MHz. The presentation doesn't mention CPU clock speeds.
Chipset: X870E, X870, B850, B840
In addition to the supposed first Ryzen 9000, of which the presentation also shows an image of a partially disguised CPU (and incorrectly mentions Intel's next LGA 1851 socket), the presentation also reveals that there will likely be four new chipsets: the X870E, X870, B850 and B840. – They have also been named several times in the past few days. While this is the case with the other three variables.
The Ryzen 9000 will probably go to Computex after all
Midweek, the podcast's editorial team predicted that there would at most be a Ryzen 9000 teaser at Computex next week, but not a final presentation. However, the look of the trailer and more leaks in the past few days suggest that things will go differently. AMD CEO Lisa Su will deliver a keynote speech Sunday night through Monday at 3:30 a.m. German time.
