The competition in the processor market is fierce. While there are many manufacturers in the market, such as Apple and Qualcomm, the two main players are the red team and the blue team. Most recently, AMD aka the red team is looking to heat up the competition even further by confirming its Ryzen 8000 AM5 processors. These processors will feature the Zen 5 CPU architecture and the Navi 3.5 graphics architecture. Here are the details…
AMD Confirms Ryzen 8000 Series: Next-Gen Desktop Processors to Feature Zen 5 CPU and Navi 3.5 Graphics
AMD has confirmed that it will release its next generation of Ryzen processors in 2024. The Ryzen 8000 series will use the new Zen 5 architecture and Navi 3.5 graphics. The chips will be codenamed “Granite Ridge” and will feature up to 16 CPU cores. The Navi 3.5 GPU will be a die shrink of Navi 3, which will improve clock speed and efficiency.
The Ryzen 8000 series will be a significant upgrade over the current Ryzen 7000 series. The Zen 5 CPU cores are expected to offer a 15% performance boost over Zen 4, while the Navi 3.5 GPU is expected to offer a 20% performance boost over Navi 3. This will make the Ryzen 8000 series the most powerful AMD desktop processors to date. AMD has not yet announced any specific pricing or availability information for the Ryzen 8000 series. However, it is expected to be released in 2024. AMD has also confirmed that the AM5 socket will be supported until 2026.
AMD’s backward compatibility policy is one of the company’s greatest secrets to success. In the past, Intel was changing the socket almost every new generation of processors, which forced users to purchase a new motherboard along with the CPU. This was a major hassle for PC enthusiasts, and it made it difficult to upgrade their systems. AMD changed this by making backward compatibility standard.
