AMD will launch Ryzen 7 5700X3D and Ryzen 8000G APU in Q1 2024
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, AMD is poised to make a series of strategic moves in early next year. However, these are not related to the Zen 5 architecture, which is expected to debut in mid-next year at the earliest, possibly at CES 2024. During this event, AMD is likely to introduce the Ryzen 8040 series of notebook processors and also update its offerings for the AM5 and AM4 desktop platforms.
Starting with the AM5 platform, according to information from @ECSM_Official, AMD plans to launch the Ryzen 8000G APU series. This essentially translates to bringing the Phoenix processors to the desktop market, including the Ryzen 7 8700G, Ryzen 5 8600G, and Ryzen 5 8500G. The Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 8600G will utilize the Phoenix cores, while the Ryzen 5 8500G will feature the Phoenix 2 cores. Theoretically, there’s also a Ryzen 3 8300G, though it may not initially be available for retail.
As per previously leaked information, the highest-spec Ryzen 7 8700G will have eight cores and sixteen threads, with a base CPU frequency of 4.2GHz and a boost frequency of up to 5.1GHz. It will support manual overclocking and be equipped with an integrated GPU based on the RDNA 3 architecture (Radeon 780M and 760M). The Ryzen 5 8500G, on the other hand, represents a hybrid architecture design combining Zen4 and Zen4c, featuring two Zen 4 cores and four Zen 4c cores, each with different frequencies, and an integrated Radeon 740M GPU with 4 CU.
Regarding the AM4 platform, AMD is set to release the Ryzen 7 5700X3D processor. This processor, which was leaked in November this year, is essentially a lower-clocked version of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. It boasts 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base frequency of 3.0GHz, a boost frequency of 4.1GHz, and 96MB of L3 cache, with a main frequency 400MHz lower than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Additionally, there’s a 6-core Ryzen 5 5500X3D, though its release date remains uncertain.
Furthermore, there’s talk of two Zen 3 architecture CPUs with a GT suffix, the details of which are somewhat unclear but are expected to be mid to low-end models.
