AMD Zen 5 rumours

Do we have any official confirmation yet - Are Zen 6 CPUs launching in 2025?

It says on Wikipedia, that they will:

AMD confirms Zen 6 and Zen 6c will arrive in 2025 — but Intel is set to grab the fastest CPU server spot for the first time in a decade within weeks

Intel's 128 P-core Granite Rapids-AP line is coming soon

I'm guessing the main series will be TSMC 3nm based, with some workstation / server products using 2nm at some point in 2026. AM5 is going to be supported until 2027, and apparently the Ryzen 10,000 series is going to support 16 cores per CCD:

That could mean cheaper 16 core CPUs, potentially.

Not in any rush but if Zen 6 is coming next year, might as well wait for the AMD and intel next gen releases since these past ones were so so.
 
Also going to keep an eye out for the AMD strix halo series due next year, could be a game changer for mini pcs and energy usage.

8000C38 what the hell, and here's me running 8000C32 as a daily.

What FCLK are they running with 8000?

Handy tip for non X3D dual CCD bois, see below.

My timings, Windows 10. Cyberpunk 2077, high preset nothing else changed.


SMT On Core Parking Enabled


SMT On Core Parking Off


SMT Off Core Parking On


SMT Off Core Parking Off


SMT Off Core Parking Off + Max CPU fan speed


If you are using a 9900/9950X, I would recommend that if you want the absolute best performance, use the High Performance Windows Power profile. This will use a bit more power, as games can use 'all cores', whilst still preferring the higher performance cores. When you use the Balanced profile, games will mostly stick to CCD0 and will therefore use a bit less CPU package power. However, if CPU utilization is high enough, cores on the second CCD can still be used so one or more may wake up. However, this still leaves a bit of performance on the table vs using the High Performance power profile which basically disables Core Parking. And yeah, Cyberpunk prefers SMT off as you can see above.

If you are wondering how this compares to a tightly tuned 7800X3D running 8000Mhz C32 with 2200 FCLK see below.


3% faster than a tuned 9950X in this title. And disabling SMT with the 7800X3D hurts performance due to only having 8 c

Hello is saw your 7800x3d 8000mhz config its quite impressive its about 13% faster than tuned 1:1 ram but there is not enough tests to really compare between tuned 1:1 and tuned 2:1 if you don't mind to test few more games its will be amazing, the first game is "final fantasy xiv dawntrail benchmark" its a benchmark tool you download from Google, after you download the tool go to graphics settings and set preset to "standard (laptop)" then run the test after you finished press on the save button and show your scores+fps , the other game is also free "farcry6 demo" its must be the demo because the full version have different performance, settings "set resolution to 1280x720 fullscreen, set graphics preset to low, AA off and resolution scale to 0.5" after that run the test and take screen shot





I really want compare these two ram configuration but there is nothing I can compare with online hopefully this message reaches you lol also on farcry6 test I used both smt off and on just for testing no need to do that

That 7800X3D result was not mine unfortunately, but was ran by a friend so i could get a comparison vs a best case 7800X3D score. The 7800X3D, or the 7950X3D with CCD1 disabled, are unbeatable in Cyberpunk 2077. Expect the same for the Zen X3D parts too.

And then once those come along wait for the generation after that, because it won't be much longer to wait.
 
Today, I did some benchmarking with Cinebench R23. Utilizing the Precision Boost Overdrive features to enhance processor frequency, lower temperatures, and decrease power consumption can indeed yield high benchmark scores while maintaining good efficiency.

I am sure they have their reason's but would it not be better to release just before the festive season when everyone is buying presents?

They only released the 9800X3D because of the new Intel processors otherwise this would have been next year as well with the rest of the X3D chips
