Introduction

In this article, which our team will regularly update, we will maintain a growing list of information pertaining to upcoming hardware releases based on leaks and official announcements as we spot them. There will obviously be a ton of rumors on unreleased hardware, and it is our goal to—based on our years of industry experience—exclude the crazy ones. In addition to these upcoming hardware release news, we will regularly adjust the structure of this article to better organize information. Each time an important change is made to this article, it will re-appear on our front page with a "new" banner, and the additions will be documented in the forum comments thread. This article will not leak information we signed an NDA for.

Feel free to share your opinions and tips in the forum comments thread and subscribe to the same thread for updates.

AMD Zen 5 / Ryzen 9000 Series [updated]

• Release Date: May/June 2024 #
• 5 nm or 3 nm TSMC process
• DDR5 memory support
• PCI-Express Gen 5
• Codename "Granite Ridge" #
• 16 Zen 5 cores across up to two CCDs #
• Another codename "Strix Point" could feature big.LITTLE core design, similar to Alder Lake
• Strix Point is a Hybrid Architecture, with 4 P-Cores and 8 E-Cores # #
• P-Cores and E-Cores use same instructions and everything, just different cache sizes and clocks #
• Another leak suggests Strix Point is a monolithic 12c/24t design #
• "Strix Halo" is a mobile SoC with 16 Zen 5 cores, 40 CU GPU, 256-bit LPDDR5X memory, 120 W TDP #
• Strix Halo uses a different IO die #
• Fire Range is a 16 core successor to Dragon Range using Zen 5 with X3D cache #
• Strix Point IGP is based on RDNA 3.5 architecture #
• 16 CUs in IGP #
• Server platform codename "Turin"
• CCD codename: Eldora #
• Core codename: Nirvana #
• Uses Socket SP5 for server, desktop uses Socket AM5
• CCDs built on 4 nm TSMC #
• Die size 224 mm² #
• Shrink to 3 nm possible later in the lifetime of the product
• Could also be built on 3 nm TSMC #
• 3DV Cache included with specific SKUs
• New frontend with better parallelism
• All processors come with integrated GPU
• Improved branch predictor #
• Estimated IPC gain 15% #
• Pipeline redesign: 6 ALUs vs 4 on Zen 4, 4 Address Generation Units (AGUs) vs 3 on Zen 4, floating point store pipelines doubled, now 256-bit each. #
• Performance estimate puts Zen 5 30% ahead of Zen 4 #
• Possibly same IO die as Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 #
• AI/ML enhancements, possibly Xilinx IP-based fixed function hardware, called AIE (AI inference accelerator)
• New AVX and AVX-512 instructions: AVX-VNNI, MOVDIRI, MOVDIR64B, AVX512VP2INTERSECT, and PREFETCHI #
• Phoenix point is built on 5 nm TSMC, with RDNA 3 graphics
• Mobile CPU: Kraken Point: 4P+4C cores, NPU, monolithic CPU, 4 nm TSMC EUV, IGP is RDNA 3.5 with 8 CU / 512 cores #
• Related: XDNA, which is the first AI-acceleration FPGA architecture by Xilinx
• XDNA2 is a next-generation on-chip neural processing architecture #
• Family ID of 26h #
