AMD’s Computex 2024 Highlights

1. Ryzen 9000 Desktop CPUs: Zen 5 Magic

AMD officially unveiled the Ryzen 9000 “Granite Ridge” series, featuring the revamped Zen 5 architecture. Here are the key upgrades:

  • Improved Performance: Zen 5 brings a 15% IPC uplift (Instructions Per Clock) and up to 35% gains in some cases.
  • Process Technology: CCDs (Core Chiplets) are based on TSMC’s 4nm process, while the IOD (Input/Output Die) uses TSMC’s 6nm process.
  • AI Acceleration: The platform boasts enhanced AI performance and AVX512 throughput.
  • Model Lineup: The Ryzen 9000 series includes models like the flagship Ryzen 9 9950X and the Ryzen 5 9600X, with up to 16 cores and 32 threads.

2. EPYC Turin CPUs: Powering the Data Center

AMD’s EPYC Turin CPUs stole the show with up to 192 cores (Zen 5C variations) and 128 cores (standard Zen 5). These processors directly compete with Intel’s Xeon Granite Rapids P-Core and Sierra Forest E-Core families.

3. AI-Focused Strix APUs and Instinct AI Accelerators

AMD emphasized AI capabilities:

  • Strix APUs: These AI-focused APUs promise improved graphics bandwidth and 20% AI acceleration.
  • Instinct AI Accelerators: Expected to ship in Q4 2024, these accelerators will enhance AI workloads.

4. Roadmap for the Future

AMD teased next-gen NPU cores (XDNA 2) for laptops and 5th Gen EPYC processors for telecommunications and networking.
