AMD's entire Ryzen 9000 CPU lineup which includes the Ryzen 9 9950X, Ryzen 9 9900X, Ryzen 7 9700X, & Ryzen 5 9600X Desktop chips with Zen 5 cores has leaked out.
AORUS Leak Reveals AMD's Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" Desktop CPUs, Memory Support & More: Ryzen 9 9950X, Ryzen 9 9900X, Ryzen 7 9700X & Ryzen 5 9600
The leak comes from X (formerly Twitter) user, @wxnod, who has published several product leaks in the past and it looks like the latest vendor on the hit list was AORUS. The leak comes in the form of a presentation deck by AORUS which includes details of AMD's next-gen Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" Desktop CPUs and the new 800-series motherboards.
Starting with the juicy bits, it looks like AMD is working on at least four new SKUs which include the 16 core Ryzen 9 9950X, 12-core Ryzen 9 9900X, 8 core Ryzen 7 9700X, and the 6 core Ryzen 5 9600.
The Ryzen 9 CPUs are said to utilize the dual CCD + 1 IOD config while the Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 SKUs will stick with the 1 CCD + 1 IOD configuration. Each CCD comes with 32 MB of L3 cache and it looks like the TDPs scale from 65W and up to 170W.
Also, one interesting thing is that the image used within the AORUS slide deck is the same one that was leaked out a while back and it was called out to be a fake however it looks like it was indeed true since AORUS has used it. This AMD Ryzen 9000 Desktop sample has the 100-000001290-11 OPN code.
Moving over to memory support, it looks like AMD has made slight improvements to the IMC in Granite Ridge "Ryzen 9000" Desktop CPUs versus Raphael "Ryzen 7000" as they now support up to 5600 MT/s speeds natively and up to 8000 MT/s EXPO/XMP clock rates. It is also reported that the Infinity Fabric clock of FCLK is now rated at up to 2400 MHz (versus 2000 MHz on Ryzen 7000 / Zen 4) Desktop CPUs. So we get:
- Native Speeds Max - 5600 MT/s
- EXPO Speeds Max - 8000 MT/s+
- FCLK Speeds Max - 2400 MHz (Fabric)
As far as memory configurations are concerned, the AMD Ryzen 9000 Desktop CPUs should retain the 16 PCIe Gen 5.0 lanes for the discrete GPU. There are additionally 12 Gen 5.0 lanes which are dedicated to the M.2 slots and Chipset interconnect so a total of 28 lanes.
In terms of chipsets, it looks like AMD will have a very diverse range of 800-series PCHs including X870E, X870, B850, and B840. Minus the B840, all other chipsets will support overclocking on Ryzen 7000, Ryzen 8000, and Ryzen 9000 CPUs. To sum up, we will be getting the following:
- X870E (Enthusiast Extreme)
- X870 (Enthusiast)
- B850 (Mainstream)
- B840 (Entry-Level)
The B840 chipset was also recently listed in a submission made by Maxsun so it pretty much confirms that it will be the successor to the A620 chipset and serve the entry-level segment.
AMD's Ryzen 9000 "Granite Ridge" Desktop CPUs with the latest Zen 5 core architecture are expected to debut next week at AMD's Computex 2024 keynote and the launch is rumored for July so stay tuned for more information.
