The announcement may take place in a month and a half
Gigabyte has confirmed that the next generation of Ryzen desktop processors will be called Ryzen 9000.
This is directly stated in the description of the next BIOS update for some of the company's motherboards. It is unknown when the announcement will take place, but there is an opinion that it will be at the Computex 2024 exhibition, which starts in a month and a half. True, new CPUs may appear on sale much later.
Recall that AMD desktop processors are not affected by the current naming logic that the company uses, so we again have a transition through the number line, as was the case in the past.
Desktop Ryzen 9000 will have up to 16 cores based on the Zen 5 architecture. A number of leaks and rumors attribute a huge performance boost to the new architecture relative to Zen 4.
