Users can expect faster clocks, per speculation shared online:
The last time AMD released the Ryzen XT processor was in mid-2020. At that time, AMD launched three Zen2 architecture Ryzen 3000XT processors, which further increased the maximum acceleration frequency compared to the original -X model. This time the Ryzen 5000XT series processors are also expected to receive a frequency increase.
AMD launched four Ryzen 5000 Series processors in January:
Model | Cores/Threads | Boost / Base Frequency | Total Cache | TDP | NPU | SEP | |
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D | 8C/16T | Up to 4.1GHz / 3.0GHz | 100MB | 105W | N/A | $249 | |
AMD Ryzen 7 5700 | 8C/16T | Up to 4.6GHz / 3.7GHz | 20MB | 65W | N/A | $175 | |
AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT | 6C/12T | Up to 4.6GHz / 3.6GHz | 19MB | 65W | N/A | $140 | |
AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT | 6C/12T | Up to 4.4GHz / 3.6GHz | 19MB | 65W | N/A | $125 |
