AMD Ryzen 8000 series: release date, price, specs and other rumors

The AMD Ryzen 8000 series of processors is generating a lot of buzz ahead of the second half of 2023, especially as we get closer to its expected launch next year.

Amdm’s Ryzen processors are widely recognized for their impressive performance and competitive pricing, not to mention innovations like 3D V-Cache technology that make Ryzen processors the best gaming processors on the market. With the Ryzen 8000 series on the horizon, expectations are high, especially as AMD transitions to TSMC’s more advanced silicon manufacturing with its Zen 5 architecture.

With all this news and rumors, however, it’s important to separate the baseless speculation from the true reports and news that invariably leak from the usually silent AMD. Here we’ve compiled what we know to give readers a clear and concise idea of what to expect from the AMD Ryzen 8000 series.

There’s no official release date for the AMD Ryzen 8000 series yet, but we know from AMD’s «roadmap» that it’s scheduled for 2024.

Based on the 12-18 month interval between processor generations, March 2024 will mark 18 months since the AMD Ryzen 7000 series was released, which isn’t an unrealistic prediction, although the gap between releases may be longer than usual this time around.

Of course, the AMD Ryzen 8000 series will be released in March 2024.

According to AMD, the Zen 5 architecture will be completely rebuilt from the ground up, so it may take longer than the standard processor release cycle. The desktop line of processors, codenamed Granite Ridge, and the mobile line of processors, codenamed Strix Point, are also likely to be released separately.

Amdmdm’s new line of processors will also be released separately.

D AMD Ryzen 8000 specifications

At this point, very little is known about the specs of the AMD Ryzen 8000 series, other than that it will be built on the Zen 5 architecture and will feature an integrated RDNA 3.5 GPU, which AMD says is an iterative improvement on the current RDNA 3 GPU architecture, but not enough to justify a new generation of hardware.

Amazingly, the AMD Ryzen 8000 series will be built on the Zen 5 architecture and will feature an integrated RDNA 3.5 GPU, which AMD says is an iterative improvement on the current RDNA 3 GPU architecture, but not enough to justify a new generation of hardware.

There has been speculation for some time that the Ryzen 8000 series would be built on TSMC’s 4nm process, but now it looks like a more modern 3nm process will be used instead.

We also know that AMD acquired AI company Xilinx in 2021, and expect Zen 5 to have more AI optimizations.

We also assume AMD will stick to its non-hybrid approach in Zen 5, as it did in Zen 4 and unlike Intel’s 12th- and 13th-generation processors, which use a hybrid of efficient and performance cores.

All Zen 5 cores are expected to be performance cores, although the on-chip configuration may be new, with a multi-chip modular architecture, which we know AMD has already used in its RDNA 3 graphics cards.

Performance of the AMD Ryzen 8000

While AMD says it’s rebuilding its Zen 5 architecture from the ground up, there’s no telling what the performance gains will be compared to the Zen 4 architecture of the Ryzen 7000 series.

But we’re guessing it will be significant. AMD is incorporating a variety of technologies into chip design, from multi-chip modules (chiplets) to vertical stacked architectures like 3D V-Cache technology.

We’re not sure what the performance gains will be compared to the Zen 4 architecture of the Ryzen 7000 series.

We expect AMD to carry all of this into Zen 5 and build new chips based on these technologies, rather than trying to bolt on an existing architecture that wasn’t designed with these technologies in mind.

Will this mean better performance? Absolutely, especially when coupled with the 3nm process compared to the 5nm process in AMD Zen 4.

Amazingly, it will mean better performance.

What to expect from AMD Ryzen 8000

There isn’t much information about the AMD Ryzen 8000 series at the moment, other than the fact that it’s ready for release. Whether it will be called Ryzen 8000 remains to be seen, although it’s unlikely that AMD will change the model numbering scheme too often (it has done so before, though, by almost completely abandoning the Ryzen 4000 series in favor of the Ryzen 5000 series).

Amazingly, AMD is not sure what to expect from the Ryzen 8000 series.

We’re also guessing that it will be up against Intel’s Arrow Lake processors, which are also due out in 2024, although the Ryzen 8000 series should hit the market before Intel’s 15th-generation chips do.

In addition, we hope to see Zen 5 more deeply integrate AMD’s innovation into the chip microarchitecture, rather than splitting the product stack into the core Ryzen 8000 series processors and 3D branded variants with the addition of 3D V-Cache.

Either way, we’ll keep you posted on the latest news as it becomes available.
