AMD took the time at Hot Chips this week to deep dive into its new Zen 5 core architecture, which is already powering the Ryzen AI 300 series "Strix Point" APUs for laptops, and new Ryzen 9000 ...

One of the little things I picked up on is that AMD designed Zen 5 to be a foundational architecture. The front end improvements were designed to do what AMD phrased as "keeping the beast fed".

AMD is expected to lift the lid on its forthcoming Zen 5 architecture at Computex in June, and we'd be surprised if some of these CPUs didn't make it onto our best gaming CPU guide. However, this ...

AMD also grew the Zen 5 data cache by 50% (32K vs. 48KB) and doubled the maximum bandwidth to the L1 cache and FPU. Zen 5 features a 48KB 12-way L1 data cache, but maintains a 4-cycle load to keep ...

The first difference is the amount of L3 cache on tap—where each CCD (Core Complex Die) chiplet in the Ryzen 9 7950X gets 32MB of cache, for example, AMD has taken the unusual step of giving the ...

AMD AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X heads up the new Ryzen 9000 family. AMD There are three other variants here, with 12, 8, and 6 Zen 5 CPU cores. The Ryzen 7000 series launched with chips at the same tiers. AMD ...

AMD's next-gen Ryzen 5 9600X engineering sample (ES) has been spotted: overclocked to an incredible 5.7GHz across all cores, Zen 5 is going to be GOOD.

If you have an older AMD Ryzen CPU based on the Zen 1 through to Zen 4 architecture, your CPU can now be "jailbroken." This is thanks to an exploit that allows users to write their own microcode ...

However, the move from TSMC 5nm to 4nm has allowed AMD to significantly increase density, as it's gone from 6.5 billion transistors in Zen 4 to 8.3 billion transistors for Zen 5, an increase of 28%.

AMD has for the first time confirmed that its next CPU architecture will be called AMD Zen 6, which will follow on from the Zen 5 launch in just two weeks.

AMD has revealed some new architectural info regarding its Zen 5 based Ryzen AI 300 and Ryzen 9000 series processors and we've got the details. - Page 2 ...
