AMD is pushing Microsoft to release Ryzen 9000 performance-boosting update sooner
Reviewers weren't seeing the kind of performance uplifts AMD promised, but a fix is coming soon
In context: When AMD launched its new Ryzen 9000 CPUs earlier this month, there was a lot of hype around the promised performance gains across the board, including gaming. AMD's own pre-release benchmarks showed a tidy 9% generational uplift over Ryzen 7000 in 1080p gaming, and around 6% higher frame rates compared to Intel's best. But once the reviews started rolling in, not everyone was seeing those kinds of improvements.
AMD B850 and B840 chipsets are delayed, might debut in early 2025
Flagship X870 and X870E motherboards are still expected to arrive in September
In brief: As manufacturers exhibit next-generation motherboards at Gamescom 2024, the roadmap for AMD's upcoming 800-series chipset is becoming clear. Ryzen 9000 early adopters will likely have to use the new CPUs with 600-series boards for now or wait a while and splurge on the newest high-end X800 models later this year.
A rumored TDP boost for Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X may not be enough to increase lagging sales
What will it take for these processors to ditch the Zen 5% meme?
Recap: The newly released AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X have garnered attention for their power efficiency and effective thermal management, debuting with a modest 65W TDP. However, the minimal performance gains over previous generations have drawn criticism, especially given their higher launch prices compared to the Ryzen 7000-series. Rumors now suggest that AMD might increase the TDP for these processors. If true, this change could enhance their performance, but will that be enough to boost their lagging sales?

Something to look forward to: AMD is reportedly planning an initial launch of four Zen 5 CPUs ranging from 6 to 16 cores. The Ryzen 9 9950X flagship will be a 16-core / 32-thread CPU, followed by the 12-core / 24-thread Ryzen 9 9900X, the 8-core / 16-thread Ryzen 7 9700X, and the 6-core / 12-thread Ryzen 5 9600. The TDPs range from 65W for the 9600 to 170W for the 9950X.

In context: With mandatory USB4 support coming to AMD's next-gen X870E chipsets, upgrading to Zen 5 Ryzen 9000 CPUs could get pricey. The new connectivity standard requires an extra controller chip, which vendors will likely pass on as higher motherboard costs. Be ready to budget more than expected if you're planning a Zen 5 build.
