Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

[DisEnchantment]

Speculate at will

 

[Goop_reformed]

How about AMD doesn't care?

They do care, why else do they keep releasing 6 cores zen?

Because it sells?

Looks like AMD is considering changes to Zen 5 TDP figures. Changing 9700X from 65W -> 120W TDP.

This is a weird form of FIne Wine(tm)... and a smidge early.

lol that is my like on that post

Because it sells?

More precisely, they have to sell a harvested 1-CCD part if they want to have somewhat profitable products in those price ranges.
So until they add more cores per CCX, 6cores are to stay, sadly.
Basically, these volume parts have to be 1-CCD and they probably don't want to move octocore to R5 segment because then the R7 segment would have to be dual-CCD and that would be bad for profitability.

So this means zen 5 X3D isn’t launching till CES?

Fine by me, gives me time to save up for 7800X3D and and an AM5 motherboard.

A $400 16 cores CPU sells to but that's not the point. They have to compete with whatever's out there.

What in the heck did I just read lol

 

[DaaQ]

That WTFtech article made things worse for me

Maybe I should have created some private channel somewhere and revealed different numbers to selected users. I won't be getting any more leaks for quite a while

I seen your post quoted in my google feed this morning, I think PC Gamer. IIRC

Edit: Igor is correct, pcgamesn. Sorry I couldn't relocate it and didn't want to it give extra clicks.

X3D in September.

X3D in September.

That's only just 2 months after the regular Zen, why?

Because gamers will wait for x3d regardless. Might as well release them early

Quoted instead of edited like a n00b.

A 120W 9700X reminds me of the 65W 3700X / 105W 3800X which was stupid and thought we wouldnt see again. But never underestimate AMD's marketing to force stupid mistakes. Maybe now they will release a 9800X at 105W and a vanilla 9800 at 65W. Oh, and the 65W version will come will a cooler, because reasons.

Different site I think: https://www.pcgamesn.com/amd/ryzen-9-9950x-benchmark-leak

He also regurgitated my post with the erroneous table without reading any further.

Such bad, bad reporting hygiene.

So what's the point for the non x3d version? It doesn't pass the smell check

I have a feeling that you may now be Internet famous, but that you wish you weren't. Like you said, you might not be getting any leaks for a long time now if ever. Or they may just be less meaningful.

Because not everyone is using them for primarily gaming? Seems pretty simple to me. Also it gives something for ODM's to put to use for back to school or whatever.

Harvest bad quality Epyc dies.

That would be dumb, given how low volume DIY is.

So…uh…can we talk about the “Gigglehertz” now? 😉

Poster above said people will wait for the X3d.

Why is this any more credible than your claims of a 40% IPC jump?
