Fellas, I'm starting to get really hyped for AMD Zen 5 Ryzen 9000 CPUs because not only is the performance looking really, and I mean really good, but there is some serious upgrades to the micro architecture itself that could make your PC just feel snappier and address the latency issues AMD has been facing with their processors. Now this all started with some leaked information from Red Gaming Tech, but is quickly spiraled into a ton of leaks from various different people. Now like I mentioned, Red Gaming Tech had come out and mentioned some pretty basic stuff about these next generation CPUs that was very good to hear, such as it would be an AM5 drop in upgrade, so if you're sitting there with a Ryzen 7000 Series CPU, yes you can flash your BIOS and drop these things right in for a substantial performance increase, but the core count would likely remain the same with 8 cores per CCD and a maximum of 2 CCDs for 16 cores in 32 threads. However, we apparently would be getting a memory performance increase likely seeing up to 6400 megahertz DDR5 now being the sweet spot instead of 6000 megahertz. Spot word starts to get really interesting is when we start to really dive into the nitty gritty as he did mention apparently this would be on N4P and likely remaining at a similar clock speed to Ryzen 7000, although it could be increasing possibly as high as 6 gigahertz and this is the big one, they're going to be changing the micro architecture to potentially introduce the latter 3D cache as was originally mentioned by a door TV and this is going to be a huge one guys because this in addition with the apparently larger L1 cache is just going to mean far lower latency for the CPU overall. I mean we're talking about a CPU which now is going to have direct access between every single core as when you take a look at this new latter 3D cache design here, well yeah that 32 megabytes of L3 cache has a ton of different ways to go to every single different core meaning again yes this is going to be a very very fast CPU and I imagine that some of those latency offsets you see from 3D cache will actually be realized simply by having a more efficient cache structure like in this image now in terms of the IPC red gaming tech did also mention that it could potentially be up to a 30% increase over our current Ryzen 7000 series CPUs which are already pretty good however with all these games coming out that are getting more and more CPU demanding a large IPC increase is definitely going to be something that we're going to need to see especially if you want to upgrade to something like a 5080 or 5090 which apparently the 5090 could be seeing upwards of 2.5 times the ray tracing performance well with a lot more ray tracing performance comes a lot more load on the CPU so yeah if you want upgrade to a 50 series card and start to really use ray tracing I do think it'll be a good idea to start looking at your CPU and platform as well to make sure you're not being held back and wow guys it's looking like Ryzen 9000 could be it because now we have even more information on top of that already that apparently the performance could actually be 40% higher than our current Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 series CPUs now this information and by the way I will have all this information linked in the description below comes from Kepler underscore L2 now this guy has leaked a ton of stuff before so it's not just some random nobody in a forum however of course since it isn't official information do take all this with the grain assault but according to him yes he said quote core for core Zen 5 is over 40% faster than Zen 4 in spec which is going to be a form of a benchmark now guys that is insane because over 40% well even if we're going to be conservative and call it 40% well we're just talking about the vanilla Ryzen 9000 series chips here but we do know is that the Ryzen 9000 X3D chips will get an even larger performance uplift bringing them not only 40% or greater over Zen 4 but potentially depending on the workload we have to multiply that by at least a 15% uplift from the 3D cache especially for gaming or in some instances it can be even far greater than that well that would put us at around 46% faster than the Ryzen 7000 series chips that is absolutely mind blowing and a type of jump that we haven't seen in a very very long time if these leaks turn out to be true now of course we don't know if that's going to be the case or if this is just going to be isolated to a specific segment of the CPU that certainly could be true however I do think even if we were to be conservative we're probably going to be talking about a bare minimum of roughly 30% faster when talking about the 9800 X3D versus Ryzen 7000 and that is still substantial and again that's probably the bare minimum I would expect I would be shocked if we saw anything lower than 30% based on all the leaks and rumors that we're seeing but again closer to 50% or maybe even greater could be achieved so all that sounding really great but you know when is this stuff going to come out and what is it going to cost well I'm glad you asked me because I'm going to answer my own question by telling you this yes it's looking like by the end of the year the Ryzen 9000 series chips will be available now of course nothing is confirmed as of yet but all of the leaks and rumors are suggesting and just based on previous releases that that is very likely to be the case if I was to put an exact date on it I'd probably say sometime around October or probably November at the latest would be an ideal launch time for these CPUs so whether or not you're on AM5 now and just want a drop in upgrade or if you're someone who's still sitting on AM4 or maybe even an older Intel platform it's looking like pretty soon you could be getting a very very substantial upgrade from these CPUs however it will be a little bit longer to wait for the X3D now there is a possibility that they could actually surprise launch these things by the end of the year as well but I do think it's probably a little bit more likely that you'll probably see X3D at the very beginning of 2025 so it is going to be a little bit longer of a weight for the X3D processors and those are definitely the ones that I'm most interested in as the X3D cache certainly does help out Ryzen quite a bit by limiting the amount of fabric crossing that's going on which is still the bottleneck for the Zen architecture as a whole but maybe that will be fixed with Zen 6 we'll have to talk about that one in the future but overall yes it's looking really really good the release date seeming like if you're at least looking for 9000 vanilla probably not super long at this point in time and I do believe since there still will be competition from Intel that the prices are likely not going to change and by mid 2025 we'll probably drop down to the lower prices that we've all come to know and love after discounts from AMD so yeah I'm very excited to see what the Ryzen 9000 series has to offer so it can go hand in hand with the RTX 50 series and I'm going to start saving now so that I can pick one up but hey that's just what I think do you think that the Ryzen 9000 series can really achieve nearly 50% higher performance than Ryzen 7000 series or do you think that's just way too optimistic let me know your guys thoughts in the comments below and of course I'll see you in the next video
