AMD Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs Debut, Specs, and Future Releases

According to TapTechNews on May 28, @wjm47196 from the Chiphell forum disclosed that AMD Ryzen 9000 Granite Ridge series desktop CPUs will make their debut at the Taipei Computer Show and are planned to go on sale at the end of July, earlier than Intel ArrowLake.

He also revealed that this generation of Ryzen processors will still offer four different models with Zen5 cores in 16, 12, 8, and 6 cores, still with a pure big-core design. It is expected to increase IPC by nearly 10% and will bring some nice improvements in multi-core performance.

Based on the existing product layout speculation and current known disclosures, AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors will at least offer the following models:

In addition, another source AOOSTAR-Liang also disclosed that the AMD Ryzen AI series StrixPoint processor is expected to be released in August this year and go on the market in October. It will succeed Ryzen7Pro7840U and other Zen4 processors and will be mainly used in platforms such as notebooks/minis/handheld game consoles.

According to the information currently available to TapTechNews, the difference between the mobile StrixPoint and the desktop Granite Ridge is that its CPU part adopts a dual CCX design, which can contain up to 4 Zen5 cores and 8 Zen5c cores, with 24MBL3 cache. This series of processors will also have up to 8WGP (16CU) scale RDNA3.5 architecture IGPs and 40+TOPS compute power NPU.
