AMD Ryzen 5000XT series launches soon – AM4 socket lives on
At Computex, AMD will reveal both the new AM5 Ryzen 9000 series and the AM4 Ryzen 5000XT models. The latter are the latest update for the old-gen AM4 socket.
The fact that the Ryzen 5000XT series is coming is actually not a surprise. AMD themselves confirmed such plans in March during a special event in China. The slide presented only mentioned the 5000XT series, without specifying which SKUs would be launched.
Today, AMD revealed its plans to the media during the pre-Computex briefing. The presentation has now been leaked by one of the attendees, confirming two SKUs:
- Ryzen 9 5900XT : 16 cores up to 4.8 GHz
- Ryzen 7 5700XT : 8 cores up to 4.8 GHz
Both processors are 105W TDP and both are based on the Zen3 architecture, presumably on Vermeer silicon.

Despite what the name may suggest, the 5900XT is not a 12-core but a 16-core SKU. The boost clock speed is 100 MHz lower than the 5950X, but both SKUs have the same TDP. The 5800XT, on the other hand, has the highest clock speed of all AM4 8-core CPUs, reaching as high as 4.8 GHz.
AMD has also confirmed pricing for these processors: the 5900XT will retail at $359, while the 5800XT will cost $249. Both processors are said to launch in July, this means that by the time they launch, the AM4 platform will receive another update 7 years and 4 months after the first Ryzen release.
