AMD X870E Chipset will Coming Along with Ryzen 9000 “Granite Ridge” CPUs

AMD is gearing up to release its latest 800-series motherboard chipset in tandem with the highly anticipated Ryzen 9000 series “Granite Ridge” desktop processors, which will introduce the cutting-edge “Zen 5” microarchitecture. Leading the charge in this new chipset family is the AMD X870E, serving as the successor to the current X670E. Notably, AMD is maintaining the same CPU socket, the Socket AM5, which means the 800-series chipset will not only support the upcoming “Granite Ridge” processors but also the Ryzen 7000 series “Raphael” and Ryzen 8000 series “Hawk Point.”

Rumors: AMD Zen 5 Ryzen 9000 Series Specs, Release Date Set in April to June 2024

New details have emerged about AMD’s next generation Ryzen 9000 “Zen 5” desktop processors, codenamed “Granite Ridge,” according to reliable leaker High Yield YT. The new chips are expected to launch around May-June 2024 and will utilize the existing Socket AM5 and be compatible with current 600 series chipset motherboards.

The Ryzen 9000 chips will use a chiplet design similar to the current Ryzen 7000 “Raphael” processors. They will reuse the same 6nm I/O die from Raphael but with revisions to enable higher native DDR5 memory speeds, possibly up to DDR5-6400 compared to DDR5-5200 currently. This should improve memory overclocking capabilities.
