AMD will supposedly unveil its first next-generation Ryzen processors with not only Zen 5 cores, but also 3D V-Cache technology, at CES 2025. The rumor stems from Kepler, a reputable hardware leaker, who shared the claim this week in response to a thread about how AMD could be launching its first Zen 5 CPUs in just a few months. These will presumably fall under the Ryzen 9000 Series, with AMD having reserved the 8000 number for its latest APUs with Radeon graphics.
Ryzen “Zen 5” specs/rumors:
- Ryzen 9000
- AM5
- same on-package chiplet design as Zen2/3/4
- same IO-die as Zen4
- same core count
- TSMC N4 variant
- double-digit IPC uplift
- similar clks
- DDR5-6400
AMD’s current X3D chips include:
- Ryzen 9 7950X3D
- Ryzen 9 7900X3D
- Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- Ryzen 7 5800X3D
- Ryzen 7 5700X3D
- Ryzen 5 5600X3D
