A few information regarding Zen 5 CPUs, including when to expect them to show up in new products, are confirmed during an AMD earnings call.
Although company results calls are not the most thrilling occasions, diligent examination might provide some insightful information. Dr. Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD, talked extensively about the company’s plans for the next generation of Zen 5 CPUs. The “Turin” Data Center CPUs took up a large portion of the discussion, but some intriguing information about the “Strix” consumer processors was also shared.
AMD intends to pitch its Ryzen Strix APUs as one of its most significant products in the consumer market, according to a report via WCCFTech. AMD wants to compete in the luxury sector with its Zen 5 CPU and RDNA 3+ GPUs.
There will be two varieties of Ryzen Strix APUs available from AMD. A more expensive variant will employ the conventional monolithic die, while one of these will use a more advanced chiplet design. The latter will still offer better performance but concentrate on small and light platforms, like portable game consoles.

The enthusiast market is intended for high-end chipset variants. Dr. Su’s remarks on the earnings call may indicate that gaming laptops are the intended application for higher-end APUs.
The Ryzen Strix APUs’ planned release date in the second half of 2024 was also announced.
AMD’s gaming division hasn’t done very well. Their Q1 2024 financial results show a 48% year-over-year decline in this segment of the business due to lower AMD Radeon GPU sales following the launch of the Radeon 7600 XT and Radeon RX 7900 GRE graphics cards, which failed to find much traction in international markets (supported by data from the Steam Hardware Survey). The company predicted that Q2 earnings in this area would likewise decline during the conference call.
AMD is anticipated to make more announcements in June at Computex 2024. The official unveiling of the Ryzen 9000 Desktop CPUs is expected to be the focus of AMD’s keynote address at the event.
