Possible rewrite: AMD likely to maintain divisive design decision for Ryzen 8000

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends

AMD is all set to launch the Zen 5 architecture in 2024 with its Ryzen 8000 processors. Although the next-gen chips are shrouded in mystery, recent leaks suggest that AMD will stick to the same core counts, a departure from rival Intel’s approach. These chips are named “Granite Ridge,” and according to Moore’s Law Is Dead, could launch in Q4 2024. The thermal design power will range from 65w to 170w, leading to a 10% to 15% increase in frequency while making sure the power consumption remains consistent with Zen 4’s. The chips should also be compatible with a socketed platform, with some reports suggesting an embedded lineup, meaning they would be integrated with the motherboard. AMD may also switch to TSMC’s 3nm process node, which seems to be a crucial step for balancing efficiency with performance; however, 4nm is also in contention.

It is uncertain whether Granite Ridge will be a consumer chip or not, considering that Moore’s Law Is Dead referred to it as a part of AMD’s server roadmap. However, AMD may be developing both types of chips. Zen 5 will likely feature code-named “Nirvana” cores, cutting edge AI capabilities, and an updated cache design. It’s a bold move for AMD to stick with the same core counts as Zen 4, but the company is aiming for a balance between performance and efficiency instead of just raw numbers. The Zen 5 desktop CPU family is expected to launch soon, while the embedded chips may still need time.
