Gigabyte just confirmed that AMD's next-gen CPUs are coming soon, and that they'll be called Ryzen 9000 series processors.
Gigabyte spoiled AMD ’s surprise a bit by confirming the company’s next-gen CPUs. In a press release announcing a new BIOS for X670, B650, and A620 motherboards, Gigabyte not only confirmed that support has been added for next-gen AMD CPUs, but specifically referred to them as “ AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors.”
Recommended Videos As AMD said when it introduced the AM5 platform, Ryzen 9000 CPUs will support all AM5 motherboards that are currently available. You’ll need to update to the latest BIOS to use the chips when they release — specifically for AGESA 1.1.7.0 — but otherwise, you should be able to slot in one of AMD’s next-gen chips without any other platform upgrades.
Given the timing, I’m focused on Computex 2024, which takes place in Taiwan in a little over a month. AMD is set to give the opening keynote for the annual computing event, and it seems likely that we’ll get a reveal of Zen 5 CPUs there. That’s just speculation for now, but it’s hard to believe Ryzen 9000 CPUs are several months away when we’ve seen three major motherboard vendors release BIOS updates with support for the processors.
