These future processors However, Ryzen 8000 would not be expected before next year or even early 2025.
At present, AMD is obviously concerned by the lackluster sales, like most components, of its Zen 4 processors. The fact remains that the firm is already preparing for the future and the upcoming arrival of Zen 5.
Zen 5 not before 2025?
This arrival should not take place before, at best, the second half of next year, if we are to believe an internal roadmap published by our colleagues from VideoCardzciting YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead.
The document in question establishes AMD’s future schedule for professional processors (on socket SP5/SP6) as well as for the general public (on socket AM5). We logically see the release of Raphael processors (the Ryzen 7000) with a long preparation phase spanning from the first quarter of 2023 until the start of production in the fourth quarter.
Their successors are codenamed Granite Ridge, but the “preparatory” phase here is significantly longer: if things would start well in the first quarter of 2024, we would have to wait until the very end of the fourth quarter, or even the beginning of the year 2025. for production.
Same number of cores, same TDP
These Granite Ridge processors will mark the deployment, for the general public, of AMD’s new Zen 5 architecture. This architecture will of course significantly improve Zen 4, but we do not yet know to what extent.
One thing, however, already seems certain: the number of cores should not increase with this generation. The document quoted by our colleagues actually establishes very clearly a number of cores between 6 and 16 depending on the model… exactly as on the Ryzen 7000.
Same thing for the TDP: we stay on a thermal envelope included, depending on the model, between 65 and 170 W. There is no change compared to the Raphael chips on these two points. The CCDs and CPU cores will however evolve towards the Eldora and Nirvana references.
The question is obviously how much the move to Zen 5 will improve Ryzen processors. It is still much too early to have any answer.
