There have been rumors circulating about AMD possibly releasing Ryzen 5000XT CPUs, and those rumors have gained more credibility thanks to @CodeCommando_ on Twitter. The leaker shared a slightly blurry screenshot of two new AM4 CPUs, the Ryzen 9 5900XT and the Ryzen 7 5800XT. This is one less CPU compared to the Ryzen 3000XT series launched by AMD in 2020, and the new CPUs seem to offer similar benefits. Both chips have a power consumption of 105 Watts and a maximum boost speed of 4.8 GHz, but there are some differences between them. The Ryzen 9 5900XT has a peculiar SKU name, as it shares the same max boost clock as the Ryzen 9 5900X but the same core and cache count as the Ryzen 5950X.
On the other hand, the Ryzen 7 5800XT is a straightforward 100 MHz higher clock speed SKU compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X, which raises questions about the necessity of this release. According to VideoCardz, the Ryzen 9 5900XT is expected to have a MSRP of US$359, while the Ryzen 7 5800XT is expected to be priced at US$249. This could make them an interesting upgrade option for users still using older AM4 CPUs. The pricing and details of the CPUs were reportedly revealed at a pre-Computex media briefing, so it is likely that the information is accurate. Both chips are expected to be available for purchase in July.
