The Ryzen 9000 Series, AMD’s next generation of desktop processors and some of the first to feature the company’s new Zen 5 cores for improved performance, will include at least one model that can run at a frequency of up to 5.8 GHz—a figure that would make it 100 MHz faster than the Ryzen 9 7950X (and the fastest Ryzen CPU ever)—according to new data that has been shared online, including a CPU-Z screenshot. The news comes a day after a Chiphell user claimed that AMD’s new CPUs will actually be available for purchase beginning at the end of July; four options (i.e., 16-, 12-, 8-, and 6-core models) are expected to be shown during next week’s COMPUTEX event.

The claim regarding a July launch, including core configurations:
From a report:
…a 170W TDP…means that we might be looking at a 16-core or 12-core configuration. The CPU has also been tested within CPU-z and scores around 910 points. This is an impressive lead over the Zen 4-based Ryzen 9 7950X which scores an average of 767 points, leading to a +19% performance gain.
