AMD’s upcoming EPYC 9755 ‘Turin’ CPU, powered by Zen 5 architecture, has been leaked. It boasts an impressive 128 cores and 256 threads, coupled with a massive 650MB cache. This powerhouse processor is expected to launch later this year, potentially revolutionizing server performance.
AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 9000 processors, based on the Zen 5 architecture, are expected to launch later this month. Early preorders from a Slovenian retailer hint at potential price reductions compared to the previous Zen 4 generation. While this may seem like good news, the new chips are still expected to be more expensive than their Zen 4 counterparts.
AMD’s Computex announcements centered around Zen 5 for mobile, rebranded as the Ryzen AI 300 series. These new chips promise significant performance boosts for AI tasks thanks to the improved XDNA 2 NPU, which now offers a whopping 50 TOPS. This improvement exceeds the requirements for Copilot+ experiences, potentially giving AMD an edge over competitors like Qualcomm and Intel. Overall, the Ryzen AI 300 series brings enhanced performance across productivity, gaming, and AI applications, ensuring a solid presence in upcoming Windows Copilot+ laptops and other devices.

Computex 2023 is just around the corner, and we’re expecting some major announcements from Intel, AMD, and Nvidia. Here’s what we’re hoping to see:
Gigabyte has officially confirmed the ‘Ryzen 9000’ moniker for AMD’s upcoming processor lineup, dispelling rumors of a Ryzen 8000 branding. Based on the Zen 5 architecture, the Ryzen 9000 series is expected to debut later this year, along with the Strix Point APUs. AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su has confirmed a launch for client and server applications in the second half of 2024. Rumors suggest a potential showcase at Computex 2024 and significant performance improvements of over 40% compared to Zen 4.
Gigabyte has officially confirmed the existence of AMD’s next-generation Ryzen 9000 series processors in a press release announcing a new BIOS update for its X670, B650, and A620 motherboards. This BIOS update adds support for the upcoming CPUs, specifically referring to them as “AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors.” While MSI and Asus have also added support for Ryzen 9000 through BIOS updates, neither company has explicitly named the processors in their announcements.
AMD has not yet officially announced the Ryzen 9000 processors, but rumors suggest they will launch in the second half of 2024. The recent BIOS updates from major motherboard manufacturers indicate that the launch may be sooner rather than later.
Computex 2024, which takes place in Taiwan in a little over a month, is a likely venue for AMD to unveil the Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000 CPUs. The flagship chip is rumored to feature 16 Zen 5 cores, split into two eight-core chiplets. AMD is also expected to release Zen 5 CPUs with its 3D V-Cache technology later in the year or early next year.
AMD’s upcoming processor lineup for desktops will be branded under the ‘Ryzen 9000’ moniker, according to official confirmation from Gigabyte. Codenamed ‘Granite Ridge,’ the Ryzen 9000 series will be based on the Zen 5 architecture and will offer significant improvements over the current-generation Zen 4-based ‘Raphael’ CPUs. Rumors suggest that the first Ryzen 9000 processors will be showcased at Computex 2024 before going on sale later this year. AMD has already confirmed that Zen 5-based CPUs for both client and server applications will launch in the second half of 2024.
