AMD Ryzen 9 5900 and Ryzen 7 5800 non-XT clock speeds revealed

AMD Ryzen 9 5900 and Ryzen 7 5800 non-XT

Two weeks ago first reports on new Ryzen 5000 series desktop CPUs have emerged. It was revealed that AMD is developing two Ryzen CPUs that lack the X branding. Such non-X SKUs have already appeared in the AMD lineup and usually offering lower frequencies than the X-series. 

According to the information from @momomo_us, the upcoming Ryzen 9 5800 and Ryzen 7 5800 non-XT will use the same number of cores as the original models. Those CPUs will carry 100 MHz lower boost frequencies though. The listing which was posted by the leaker does not have any information on the base clock. The new SKUs will be 65W parts, which is 40W lower than the X-series. It is confirmed that 5900 is a 12-core CPU with a 70MB cache, while the 5800 is another 8-core CPU with 36MB of cache.

The new CPUs are likely to be offered to OEM partners, rather than to DIY customers. There have been rumors on Ryzen 5 5600 as well, which even saw a rumored price tag of 220 USD, however, since those rumors emerged no confirmation has been seen.

AMD is also expected to launch its Cezanne-based AM4 CPUs, such as Ryzen 7 5700G or Ryzen 5 5600G. The Cezanne APU will be announced next week during the CES 2021 show. It is unclear when and if AMD intends to offer the AM4 version to DIY customers, since even the 4000G series were limited to OEM partners.
