On January 8th, AMD officially released the Ryzen 8000 series APU processors, which showcased impressive integrated graphics performance. Among them, the high-end model Ryzen 7 8700G’s integrated graphics performance is roughly equivalent to the GeForce GTX 1650, which is twice the performance of the previous generation’s Ryzen 7 5700G integrated graphics.
However, this series of processors is mainly suitable for a specific user group that has certain requirements for graphic performance but not demanding enough to necessitate a dedicated GPU (such as ITX users).
For this group of users, the graphical performance of the Ryzen 8000 series APU processors is still considered weak and not appealing, making the overall value for money not high and somewhat unnecessary for this user base.
On the contrary, what is truly noteworthy is AMD’s new non-APU series of desktop processors, which is the main topic of this article. Recently, two new AMD desktop processor engineering samples were exposed.
Currently, there are no physical images exposed for these two engineering sample processors, only their model numbers are revealed, which provide some information for reference.
The model names of the two engineering sample processors are: “100-000001404-01 – 8 Core / 16 Thread Granite Ridge (Zen 5 Ryzen Desktop) 170W TDP” and “100-000001290-21 – 6 Core / 12 Thread Granite Ridge (Zen 5 Ryzen Desktop) 105W TDP”.
The first is an 8-core 16-thread model, likely belonging to the “Ryzen 7” series, with a power consumption of 170W, and the second is a 6-core 12-thread model, likely belonging to the “Ryzen 5” series, with a power consumption of 105W.
Please note: The TDP values here are not necessarily accurate and should only be used as a reference. For example, the Ryzen 7 7700X processor, although belonging to the “Ryzen 7” series, has a power consumption of 105W as well.
From a power consumption perspective, the former model is more noteworthy. If the power consumption increases to 170W, then its performance is very much anticipated, likely with a significant increase in operating frequency, but this will demand more from the power supply and cooling.
Currently, there is no more information available about AMD’s new desktop processors, but AMD officially revealed and previewed some information for reference before.
This includes further improving performance and power efficiency, supporting higher operating frequencies of DDR5 memory, and integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning optimizations.
Additionally, it’s important to emphasize that the two exposed models are likely early engineering samples previously developed by AMD, so it is expected that AMD’s new desktop processors are now essentially developed and finalized.
At present, there is no concrete news about the specific release time of AMD’s new desktop processors, expected to be between the second and fourth quarters of this year. The editor will share more related dynamic revelations as soon as possible, so please stay tuned.
