AMD Announces Ryzen 9950X, 9900X, 9700X, & 9600X Zen 5 CPUs, Extends AM5 Life, & AI CPUs

AMD today announced its new Zen 5 CPU lineup for a release date of July 2024, including the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, Ryzen 9 9900X, R7 9700X, and R5 9600X. These Zen 5 CPUs are a new architecture, but are supported on the existing AMD motherboards with AM5 sockets; however, AMD also announced its new X870 and X870E motherboard platforms (no word officially on the B-series chipsets yet). In addition to the Zen 5 and chipset announcements, AMD extended its life for AM5 into 2027 and beyond officially, citing success of AM4's life as a reason. For other announcements, the company will release new AM4 CPUs in July of 2024 with the 5900XT and 5800XT. It also has new Ryzen 300 AI CPUs, server products that we won't cover in depth today, and more.

The people taking a shot every time AI is mentioned must be absolutely hammered.

[Azeal]

Is anyone else completely uninterested in the "AI" hype angle AMD is pushing? It feels like it's more for investors than it is for us as consumers.

[HussPOE]

The rain in the background was kinda chill

[bloonspy]

Best thing AMD said was 2027+ guaranteed support for AM5

[wheeledion]

At this point I'm glad journalists have stopped saying "The LAST AM4 CPU" because we know that's gonna age like milk in a few months

[Ben-Rogue]

AMD knows supporting AM4 is great for their reputation. I don't expect they'll support it much longer, but at this point it's reached GOAT status in my book.

[TuneDownUtilities]

Me, still waiting for a 5700XT cpu to pair with my 5700XT gpu: "We were on the verge of greatness, we were this close."

[lordtodd]

AMD support for older sockets is going to have a meaningful impact on e-waste. Also great for people who are on a tight budget!

[ojassarup]

Ah, the 5800XT, predecessor to the 6800XT

[Azeal]

I always love the backgrounds you choose for your trade show/out of the office coverage. Total cyberpunk vibes on this one.

[packsolite]

"Ai" was said ~160 times in the keynote.

[Subliminal_Panda]

As an AM5 user, I'm happy to see "2027+", whatever that eventually pans out to be. With AM4 continuing to be relevant and get new processors, I'm fairly confident in AMD's commitment to platform longevity.

[mnhttn_]

10 years later and we'd still be getting AM4 cpus

[TheNubaHS]

The extended commitment for AM5 is huge.

[kikmi]

Gotta admit the rain in the background made this incredibly listenable lol

[Manysdugjohn]

AM4 IS ALIVE 7 YEARS AFTER ITS RELEASE.
A M A Z I N G

[makenicerhombus]

I find it difficult to watch these announcements live now that the AI craze is in full swing. There's like 95% blabber about AI and how it's the future and 5% actually useful information and new announcements. Thank you for making this summary!!

[Deathscythe]

9800x3d is the one we all are waiting for xD

[LFPGaming]

my R5 3600 is still playing all games very comfortably, so i'll probably not upgrade until it breaks, but it's great that they're still releasing new AM4 chips and not just abandoning it to cause more E-waste

[sonofulti]

saving out for that 9800x3d for my future ITX build
