AMD took advantage of the recent organizing an event in China confirm in a rather peculiar way Ryzen 5000 XTa minor refresh of the Ryzen 5000, which should initially maintain the same approach as the Ryzen 3000 XT at the time, launched in summer 2020 also as a minor revision of the Ryzen 3000.

Ryzen 5000 higher working frequency, which will result in a small performance improvement.

AMD will continue to support the AM4 socket until 2025, so they probably will latest processors which the company markets for said socket. It would make the most sense, because if we look at the catalog of AM4 processors available today, we realize that Sunnyvale He threw practically everything in his powerfrom APUs with integrated GPU to budget versions with disabled GPU, processors with 3D stacked cache, “X” and “non-X” models, new “GT” and finally these “XT” models waiting to be launched.

Ryzen 5000 XT: four different models

If AMD decides to continue with the strategy we saw with Ryzen 3000, they will most likely launch a total four new XT-badged processors. These will retain, as I said earlier, the base number of X models and will have higher operating speeds. Its official specs have yet to be confirmed, but I’ll leave you with a fairly plausible guess below to give you an idea of ​​what we can expect.

• AMD Ryzen 5 5600 XT: 6 cores and 12 threads at 3.8 GHz-4.7 GHz.
• AMD Ryzen 7 5800 XT: 8 cores and 16 threads at 3.8 GHz-4.8 GHz.
• AMD Ryzen 9 5900 XT: 12 cores and 24 threads at 3.9 GHz – 4.9 GHz.
• AMD Ryzen 9 5950 XT: 16 cores and 32 threads at 3.8 GHz-4.9 GHz.

These new processors will have a higher turbo mode, namely it will scale better under load with higher number of active cores and threads. It’s possible that AMD won’t launch the Ryzen 9 5950 XT, but nothing is confirmed yet. We also don’t have a specific launch date or pricing details, so at this point we can only wait for the company to offer official information about it.
