AMD is preparing to launch four new Ryzen 9000 series Socket AM5 desktop processor models, which include three Ryzen PRO series models targeting commercial desktops, and an interesting consumer segment SKU designed to compete under the $300-mark. These include the Ryzen 9 PRO 9945, Ryzen 7 PRO 9745, and the Ryzen 5 PRO 9645 in the commercial segment, and the Ryzen 7 9700F in the consumer segment. All four processor models are based on the "Granite Ridge" MCM, powered by the "Zen 5" microarchitecture.

The Ryzen 9 PRO 9945 is a 12-core/24-thread chip with six cores per CCD, and a total cache of 76 MB (12x 1 MB L2 + 2x 32 MB L3). It comes with a base frequency of 3.40 GHz, and a TDP of 65 W. Next up, is the Ryzen 7 PRO 9745, which is an 8-core/16-thread chip with a 3.80 GHz base frequency, 40 MB of total cache, and 65 W TDP. The Ryzen 5 PRO 9645 is a 6-core/12-thread chip with 3.90 GHz base frequency, 38 MB total cache, and 65 W. The consumer segment Ryzen 7 9700F is essentially the same chip as the Ryzen 7 9700X, but lacks integrated graphics, and could end up priced about $20 less, or around $280. The three Ryzen PRO chips come with AMD PRO feature-set that's analogous to Intel vPro, offering remote management and data security features not available to the regular Ryzen processor models.
