AMD’s received loads of top-notch processors within the Ryzen 7000 lineup, nevertheless it nonetheless hasn’t given up on last-gen chips, as evidenced by its newest announcement. The corporate unveiled a number of new CPUs throughout an occasion in China, and whereas we’d largely count on AM5 chips at this level, we’re additionally seeing the beforehand unannounced Ryzen 5000XT collection. That is excellent news for many who are nonetheless utilizing AM4 motherboards and need to improve, however the particulars are scarce proper now.
A leaked slide, which comes from frequent {hardware} leaker HXL on X andwas showcased by AMD on the occasion, reveals us a few new Ryzen 8000 CPUs alongside the Ryzen 5000XT. There are additionally mentions of CPUs which might be already out in the marketplace, such because the just lately launched Ryzen 5 5600GT and Ryzen 5 5500GT, in addition to older chips from the Ryzen 3000-series and the Athlon 3000G.

Proper now, we don’t know something past the truth that AMD is launching Ryzen 5000XT CPUs, presumably within the close to future, in addition to two new 8000 collection CPUs.
The Ryzen 5000XT marks a mysterious new addition to the lineup, displaying that AMD nonetheless isn’t fairly prepared to surrender on its outdated AM4 socket — which is nice information for many who use it. This isn’t the primary time AMD has launched an XT processor refresh, both. The identical factor occurred with the Ryzen 3000 collection, which later obtained an XT replace — however sadly, these processors weren’t a lot to put in writing residence about.
AMD’s Ryzen 3000XT processors boosted the clock speeds by 100MHz to 200MHz in comparison with the bottom fashions, that means that their efficiency was just about the identical as their counterparts. Launched one 12 months later, the XT components had been priced too excessive for what they needed to provide and didn’t make a lot of a splash, and had been quickly adopted by the (significantly better) Ryzen 5000 collection. Will AMD make the identical mistake with the Ryzen 5000XT? It’s arduous to count on enormous efficiency enhancements, so all of it comes all the way down to the worth.
Shifting on to newer chips, the Ryzen 7 8700F and the Ryzen 7 8400F are most certainly binned variations of AMD’s latest APUs, the Ryzen 5 8500G and the Ryzen 7 8700G. Nevertheless, the “F” moniker on the brand new chips signifies that they gained’t have a built-in graphics card, not like the G components. This brings up the query of whether or not AMD maintained the XDNA neural processing unit (NPU) on the Ryzen 7 8700F or disabled it alongside the built-in graphics. In any case, we’re most certainly taking a look at funds chips with these two which might be hopefully priced under the Ryzen 8000G processors.
Will AMD make an XT3D processor to rival a few of the extra inexpensive greatest gaming CPUs? Extra importantly, will any of those chips hit the worldwide market, or will they be China exclusives? We’ll have to attend and see.
