AMD seems to be taking child steps towards increasing its Ryzen 5000 “Zen 3” desktop processor lineup. Dell Canada has began itemizing a mannequin of the processor collection not but obtainable within the DIY retail channel, the Ryzen 7 5800 (non-X). This is not a typo, as the choice is listed subsequent to the 5800X. The Ryzen 7 5800 is described as being an 8-core half, very like the 5800X, however has a barely decrease max enhance frequency of 4.60 GHz, versus 4.70 GHz of the 5800X. It might have a decrease nominal (base) frequency in comparison with the 5800X, and presumably even a decrease TDP. The final time AMD launched an OEM-exclusive non-X SKU was the Ryzen 9 3900 12-core processor.
AMD’s present retail-channel (PIB) lineup of Ryzen 5000 collection desktop processors begins at $299 for the 6-core Ryzen 5 5600X, with the corporate nonetheless promoting Ryzen 3000-series SKUs such because the 8-core Ryzen 7 3700X below this value. We anticipate the corporate to flesh out the 5000-series with SKUs such because the “Ryzen 5 5600 (non-X),” later this yr, in response to Intel’s 11th Gen Core i5 collection primarily based on the “Rocket Lake-S” silicon. Given the destiny of the Ryzen 9 3900, we do not anticipate a broad retail launch of the Ryzen 7 5800.
