TapTechNews July 31st news, AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and Ryzen 9 5900XT processors have now been listed on the overseas e-commerce platform B&H, indicating that pre-orders will begin at 9:00 PM Beijing time on July 31st.

Although there were rumors that AMD postponed the release time of the Ryzen 5000XT processors, AMD now confirms to Tom'sHardware that both of these processors will be launched as scheduled, and the'sales ban of 5000XT has not changed'.

Of course, AMD's Ryzen 9000 series processors have been confirmed to be delayed to August for some reasons. Among them, the R7 9700X and R5 9600X will be launched on August 8th, and the more high-end R9 9950X and R9 9900X are postponed to August 15th.

Like the 9000 series, AMD has not provided specific pricing information for the Ryzen 5000XT series so far. AMD may not determine the final official suggested retail price (MSRP) until the last minute.

In terms of parameters, the R7 5800XT processor is almost identical to the R7 5800X, also having 8 Zen3 cores, 32MB L3 cache and 105W TDP. The only upgrade is that the frequency is increased by 100 MHz from 4.7 GHz to 4.8 GHz.

Relatively, the R9 5900XT has a very significant improvement compared to the R9 5900X, and the specification is closer to the R9 5950X rather than the R9 5900X. It also has 16 Zen3 cores, 64MB L3 cache and 105W TDP, and the frequency is only 100 MHz lower than that of the R9 5950X.

In addition, the TDP of the Ryzen 5000XT series processors is all 105W. The R7 5800XT comes with a Wraith Prism cooler, while the R9 5900XT does not have a standard cooler, after all, processors of this level often require top-level air cooling or even water cooling.
