House owners of previous AMD AM4 motherboards seem to have been given yet one more improve choice, regardless of AMD now being two generations into its newer AM5 socket, with the arrival of the Ryzen 5 5600XT, Ryzen 5 5600, and Ryzen 3 5300G. Though not formally unveiled but, the brand new AMD Ryzen chips have appeared in motherboard CPU help listings and different leaks, exhibiting that AMD is about to proceed supplying new AM4 gaming CPUs for some time but.
What’s significantly stunning in regards to the apparently imminent arrival of recent AMD AM4 CPUs is that the availability of some AM4 chips, such because the earlier finest gaming CPU entrant, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, seems to be drying up.

That mentioned, for peak gaming efficiency you’d be a lot better off with the Ryzen 7 5700X3D, which itself was solely introduced earlier this 12 months. At a value of below $200 for an eight-core chip outfitted with AMD’s 3D V-Cache tech, it’s the clear selection right here.
Again to those new CPUs, their arrival has been indicated by each a social media supply and by the names of those merchandise showing on motherboard producers’ web sites. The previous comes by way of common X (previously Twitter) leaker @momomo_us, who posted the names of those chips together with specs for the 5600 variants.
Additional investigation by Wccftech revealed that each Asus and MSI have up to date motherboard CPU compatibility lists to incorporate these CPUs. Different producers, corresponding to ASRock and Gigabyte, haven’t performed the identical but however, whereas that is technically nonetheless within the realms of rumor, the arrival of those chips does appear very possible. There’s no indication of those CPUs’ launch date or value, however we’d count on them to be right here earlier than the top of the 12 months.
For those who’re really contemplating upgrading your system from AM4 to AM5, take a look at our greatest gaming RAM information to seek out the very best reminiscence to make use of along with your new PC, as you’ll have to improve to DDR5 reminiscence as nicely.
