AMD Ryzen 9000 "Granite Ridge" Zen 5 Processor Pictured

An alleged picture of an unreleased AMD Ryzen 9000 series "Granite Ridge" desktop processor, just hit the wires. "Granite Ridge" is codename for the desktop implementation of the "Zen 5" microarchitecture, it succeeds the current Ryzen 7000 "Raphael" that's powered by "Zen 4." From what we're hearing, the CPU core counts of "Granite Ridge" continue to top out at 16. These chips will be built in the existing AMD Socket AM5 package, and will be compatible with existing AMD 600-series chipset motherboards, although the company is working on a new motherboard chipset to go with the new chips.

The alleged AMD engineering sample pictured below has an OPN 100-000001290-11, which is unreleased. This OPN also showed up on an Einstein@Home online database, where the distributed computing platform read it as having 16 threads, making this possibly an 8-core/16-thread SKU. The "Zen 5" microarchitecture is expected to provide a generational IPC increase over "Zen 4," but more importantly, offer a significant performance increase for AVX-512 workloads due to an updated FPU. AMD is expected to unveil its Ryzen 9000 series "Zen 5" processors at the 2024 Computex.

So no 8000 series but hopefully that means the "APU"s based on Zen5 dont go to 10000 series with Zen6 CPUs skipping 10000 series.

They like to do the odd numbers for each new new uarch. It will probably happen that Zen 6 is the 11000 series.

I'm still praying it will be called 8000 non G series to upgrade to r7 8800 and RX 8800

The 8000 series is already available, its just zen4 APU chips

8K series was a sort of letdown for laptops. Hoping the next gen is a big step up... Hopefully AMD doesn't adopt the Intel strategy of just increasing TDP for more performance.

I hope they drop the ryzen name and start anew from 1000
And ftlog not call it ryzen ultra

The big question is, which kind of work the new FPU is gonna bring improvements in. Having an updated FPU is one thing, but being able to properly utilise it is another.

Hoping they run cooler than the 7000 series with their super thick IHS.

Don't get your hopes up. Same socket = same IHS.

Besides, non-X models run reasonably cool.

This is what journalism has come to. Fake bs news being posted as true with zero background check just to get those juicy clicks.

Its really just a problem with reposts and the author not monitoring the story after the initial publication time. TPU is reposting a Videocardz story that has been updated later saying the picture is fake. Btarunr just hasn’t read the comments or checking the sources again.

Well highly likely Zen 6 is last of the Zen architecture and we won't see anything called Zen 7. So Ryzen naming would probably disappear too.

HairyLobstersThey could always implement that vapor chamber IHS they where working on, or just reduce the operating temps of the chips themself with better efficiency.
Done. They're called the 7600, 7700 and 7900 (non-X).

It's kind of our problem, too. I mean, why are we interested in pictures of a CPU that is meant to look exactly like its predecessor from the get-go? :slap:

Not to say it's fake news, but the CPU's fake.
BG on the lid stands for Zen 3 Vermeer chips. I guess who faked this thing should've paid attention to this detail.
But since BG appears on Ryzen 5000's traditional style lid, it's strange see it printed on a Ryzen 7000-style lid...

If the last two gens demonstrated anything for gaming the 9800X3D is going to be worth the wait

Looks like the exactly same IHS. So either Shave it down or Delid if you want better temps.

Or just wait for the non-X models, or apply a reasonable power/temperature limit.

Agree! Never like that name.

Begone Ryzen

A lot of people are talking about the fact that there's no 8000-series but that shouldn't be a surprise because new Zen architectures have always been odd-numbered:

Zen1: 1000 (example: Ryzen 7 1700)
Zen1+: 2000 (example: Ryzen 7 2700X)
Zen2: 3000 (example: Ryzen 5 3600X)
Zen3: 5000 (example: Ryzen 7 5800X3D)
Zen4: 7000 (example: Ryzen 9 7950X)

Generally, any even-numbered models have either been the Zen1 refresh (Zen+) or specifically used for mobile APUs (Ryzen 5 4600U). The question now is, "Where will they go from here?".

I hope they release an unlocked X3D chip. 8800X3DX paired with an XFX RX 8800 XTX.
