The new Ryzen 9000 series processors will be accompanied by new 800 series motherboards, but the processors also work on older AM5 motherboards and older AM5 processors on 800 series motherboards.
AMD has already announced the processors of the Ryzen 9000 series at Computex, but even before the sale, the company’s Tech Day event took place, where more information was provided, among other things, about future desktop processors and their chipsets. Ryzen 9000 series processors are based on Zen 5 processor cores. Their CCD processor chips are manufactured using TSMC’s 4-nanometer class process.
AMD calls the Ryzen 9000 series the world’s most powerful consumer processor. However, the company has already warned that when it comes to gaming, this statement will not always be true, but the current Ryzen 7000X3D processors will take even longer while waiting for the 9000 series X3D models. Ryzen 9000 processors are suitable for current AM5 motherboards, but new chipsets are also released alongside them.
The Ryzen 9000 collection will initially consist of four models: 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X, 12-core Ryzen 9 9900X, 8-core Ryzen 7 9700X and 6-core Ryzen 5 9600X. With the new architecture, AMD has been able to reduce the TDP values of most models, and now only the top model 9950X has a TDP of 170 watts. The TDP of the 9900X was dropped to 120 watts and the 9700X and 9600X to 65 watts. Despite this, they offer better performance in Blender’s all-threads tests than the corresponding models of the previous generation, with a difference of 11-22%. AMD has also said that it has improved the thermal resistance of the processor by 15%, which has led to a 7°C lower temperature with the same consumption.
In terms of performance, AMD boasts that the Ryzen 9 9900X covers Intel’s Core i9-14900K in processor performance by 2-41% depending on the tasks, while in games the difference is 4-22% with a selection of six games. Accordingly, the company says that the Ryzen 7 9700X covers the Core i7-14700K by 4-42% in processor performance and by 4-31% in game performance. The corresponding figures for the Ryzen 5 9600X against the Core i5-14600K are 8-94% and 5-29%. Radeon RX 7900 XTX was used in the tests.

To the delight of those who get rid of everything from their processor, the new Ryzen 9000 processors support up to DDR5-8000 speeds, while the JEDEC profiles support DDR5-5600 speeds. The memory can now also be overclocked while the processor is running and it can be done regardless of the chipset. In terms of processor clocking, AMD says Precision Boost Overdrive improves performance on the 9900X and 9600X by around 6%, while the 9700X can get up to 15% more performance. When the automatic is not enough, you can take a new weapon Curve Shaper overclocking featurewhich enables up to 15 separate Curve Shaper profiles for different situations instead of the previous one.
Alongside the Ryzen 9000 series, a total of four chipsets will be introduced to the market, which are apparently intended to gradually replace the older models. The chips of the chipset itself are reportedly still old acquaintances. The most significant innovation is probably the USB4 support required for motherboards using X870 and X870E chipsets. You can find their more detailed differences in the slide above. Older AM5 processors are naturally also suitable for 800 series motherboards.
