AMD Expected to Announce Ryzen 5000XT CPUs at Computex
Although it has been rumoured for a little while now that AMD might be launching Ryzen 5000XT CPUs, that rumour just got some added fuel to the fire courtesy of @CodeCommando_ on X/Twitter. The leaker provided a somewhat pixelated screenshot of two new AM4 CPUs, namely the Ryzen 9 5900XT and the Ryzen 7 5800XT. This is one less CPU compared to the Ryzen 3000XT series that AMD launched in 2020 and it looks like the benefits on offer are similar as well. Both chips are 105 Watt parts and have a maximum boost speed of 4.8 GHz, but this is where the similarities end. The Ryzen 9 5900XT has a rather odd SKU name, as it has the same max boost clock as the Ryzen 9 5900X, but the same core and cache count as the Ryzen 5950X.
The Ryzen 7 5800XT on the other hand is a pretty straightforward 100 MHz higher clock speed SKU over the Ryzen 7 5800X, which makes one wonder why AMD even bothered. According to VideoCardz, we're looking at a US$359 MSRP for the Ryzen 9 5900XT, with the Ryzen 7 5800XT coming in at US$249, making both a potentially interesting enough upgrade option for someone that is still using an older AM4 CPU. The pricing and CPU details are said to have been revealed at a pre-Computex media briefing, so it's highly likely that the information is correct. Both chips are said to hit retail in July.

I mean, it's alright to give AM4 another last Hurrah!! but this one isn't looking like a "good" one..just a 5950X re-badge..
I get they're using AM4 as the entry level with ever lower prices, but for it to be worth it, it needs to be X3D chips, otherwise they're simply not worth buying. DDR5 is not super expensive anymore and the king 7800x3d is not uncommon to be found at 350$. They're also selling the AM5 Epycs as low as 150$ probably gatekeeped to enterprise boards but that they could easily sell to consumers with the flick of a switch, keeping AM4 alive for anything but the X3D chips makes no sense and even then...
I love AM4 and have no plans to upgrade but it's probably time to let it die instead of making a mockery of the legacy of what problably stands as the greatest PC platform ever made, obviously it's out performed and out dated now but what a ride!
I have a few AM4 CPUs, including 58X3D.
I had a 5800X and never ran stock( since around launch. Great CPU don’t get me wrong but I ended up giving it away to a friend and got a 5700X3D. Every game I played got a performance boost. But the most noticeable was the lows. For example in Warzone with the 5800X I saw dips into the 60s and 70s but with the 5700X3D I never once saw below 100 FPS. And that goes for all games I play. It made games so much smoother.

I went from a 5600 to a 5800X3D while still on a Vega 10 16GB card. My 1% lows improved w/ the X3D chip.
Also IIRC, the X3Ds will often have better 0.1% and 1% lows, even when beat overall in averages and peaks.
I've not seen any testing done yet, but I suspect X3D CPUs see some system latency improvements as well.
(I don't frequent digital musician forums much, which is where that kind of testing is common/important.
Last I recall, folks were still building dedicated Ivy Bridge systems for such, due to the lowest overall sys latency.)
1) They are ready to launch next hen Zen5 CPUs for AM5, so that isn't affected by AM4 continued support at all.
2) They just started naming XT the X models due to being produced with better efficiency (higher clocked for the same wattage) and will be sold for the same money. Nothing extreme. I prefer that to 12900K->12900KS->13900K->13900KS->14900K for the same exact chips only because of production making them a bit better every few months and pushing wattage to the max.
I guess people should be negative about the whole PC landscape. Because Microsoft Windows 10/11 is stuck somewhere around year 2010, and doesn't improve.
I mean, I know that everyone, even those with dual cores and quad cores should be able to game, but come on... it's not normal that in 2024 there isn't a single PC game which requires a fast CPU to run optimally at 4K. Basically, the games at 4K have no specific requirement about the CPU... whatever you put, the result would be more or less the same.
A game at 4K - CPU load remains around 10%, maybe 15%. Then, why should AMD care to release new CPUs, to begin with?
