Alleged AMD Zen 5 CPU Spotted With 8 Cores & 16 Threads, Could Be The First Chips In Lab 1

Two alleged entries of AMD's next-gen Zen 5 CPUs have been spotted which include an SKU with 8 cores and 16 threads.

AMD's Next-Gen Zen 5 CPU With 8 Cores & 16 Threads Spotted: Nirvana Running In Team Red's Labs

Zen 5 is going to be the next major CPU architecture from AMD which is confirmed for launch in 2024. While we wait to see this chip in action, it looks like AMD themselves might have turned up the switch directly from their labs where they are testing the first batch of Zen 5 CPUs. As such, a few entries of the chip have made their way to online databases. Do note that these entries don't mean anything until proven correct so do take them with a grain of salt.

Benchleaks was able to spot entries of an alleged AMD Zen 5 CPU within the Einstein@Home and LHC@home databases. These databases have also previously listed Zen 4 SKUs and Threadripper parts too. The entries on both databases point out to an 8-core and 16-thread engineering sample & this particular SKU has the following OPN string:

  • "AuthenticAMD AMD Eng Sample: 100-000001290-11_N [Family 26 Model 64 Stepping 0]"

It is stated that the reason this CPU could be an AMD Zen 5 chip is because the Family 24 was used for Zen 3 and Zen 4 chips. Zen 5 is said to be part of "Family 25" and since both of these entries are the same and have the same family, it is very likely this could be our first confirmation that AMD is running Zen 5 in its labs right now and tuning it for launch in the coming year.

In addition to the AMD Zen 5 CPU, the entries were also run on two unreleased GPUs. One is the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE with 16 GB memory and the other is a Radeon RX GPU too but with 12 GB memory. The RX 7900 Non-XT model doesn't exist and the RX 7900 XT offers 20 GB memory so this could be an upcoming graphics card while the second one may be the Radeon RX 7800 or an RX 7700 series variant.

What we do know is that AMD has more or less confirmed that its Ryzen 8000 Desktop CPUs will be coming to the AM5 platform and feature two major architectural upgrades, Zen 5 for the CPU cores and RDNA 3.5 for the GPU cores. That along with a list of enhancements will be added to the lineup and we can definitely expect some form of Zen 5 reveal or teaser at AMD's major datacenter event planned for next week.
