The latest update for the MC Extractor tool has revealed two new AMD Granite Ridge "Ryzen Zen 5" CPUs and mentioned the AM5+ platform, suggesting an update for the existing AM5 socket with advanced features. The CPUs, including 8-core and 6-core variants, are in early testing and evaluation, indicating the support process for the upcoming Ryzen Zen 5 desktop family. AMD's next-gen AM5 motherboards are expected to be released in Q3 2024, with potential announcements at Computex 24.
AMD's next-generation Ryzen CPUs, codenamed Granite Ridge and powered by the Zen 5 core architecture, have entered mass production and are expected to be compatible with the AM5 desktop platform. These CPUs are set to launch in the second half of 2024 and will feature enhanced performance, efficiency, and integrated AI and machine learning optimizations. AMD's commitment to its AM5 socket and desktop platforms is strong, with a 2025+ plan and support extending over 7 years.
The upcoming AMD Ryzen 8000 "Granite Ridge" desktop platform is rumored to feature up to 16 cores with a TDP of 65 to 170 watts. The Zen5 series will offer between 6 and 16 cores codenamed "Nirvana" and rely on an upgraded Zen5 core architecture. The platform will feature new CCDs called "Eldora" and up to 64 MiByte L3 cache and 16 MiByte L2 cache. The launch date for the new series is still uncertain, but it may correlate with the availability of 4nm and 3nm process nodes.
