News AMD expected to release 800 series motherboard chipsets for Ryzen 9000 CPUs — chipset series numbers to run in parallel to Intel

[Admin]

Ahead of Computex 2024, rumors of the naming scheme for AMD's latest motherboard chipset hint that the company may skip straight from the 600 to 800 series.

However, recent leaks suggest AMD will skip ahead and dub the next chipset X860 (E), running in parallel with Intel's 800 motherboard chipset series like the Intel Z890 flagship.

You meant to say X870/E ?

Because X860 chipset should actually be released as the "B850/E" chipset instead, assuming the nomenclature remains the same.

In fact, Benchlife notes that the “B650E Aorus Pro X USB4 motherboard matches the specifications of most AMD X870 motherboards.” It also features a reinforced PCIe slot supporting up to a maximum weight of 58 kg. I can’t for the life of me figure out why you’d need your PCIe slot to withstand so much weight, but there you have it.

Their previous INTEL motherboard also had this feature, the "PCIe UD Slot X" PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, with 10X strength for the graphics card.

Z790 AORUS XTREME X, and also the PRO X model. For some reason, the imgur pic embedded below is not showing up properly.

"It also features a reinforced PCIe slot supporting up to a maximum weight of 58 kg. I can’t for the life of me figure out why you’d need your PCIe slot to withstand so much weight, but there you have it."

GPU manufacturers will figure out how to make one weigh that much.

My guess is "58kg" is designed against impact loads. Such loads happen when the shipping courier drops your fully assembled PC onto concrete flooring.

However, the mobo makers seem to forget that the GPU PCB has no such load capabilities.
In other words, that slot will ensure your expensive GPU gets killed, instead of the cheaper mobo.

As for AMD's chipset naming scheme... It's childish and such an AMD thing to do.
I swear, it's run by someone's kid, rather than a professional at marketing.
"Copy Intel's naming scheme", "Add a bunch of Xs where possible"
If someone at AMD is being paid to do this, they need to be fired.
The only reason people still buy Intel by some 70%, is because of momentum and feelings. Not because the product has an inferior sounding number on it.
And if you REALLY want to go down that route, just call it the "F-series", and start off at F-150.

Well, on some other news, Intel's upcoming Motherboards for the ARROW LAKE-S desktop CPU lineup featuring the LGA 1851 socket have been submitted by MSI for verification, to electronics device database (device report).

Z890 and B860 chipset Models. 12 boards in total. So these chipset names are finally confirmed now.

They do it because over a century of sales research and marketing data from basically every industry imaginable says having a naming scheme with numbers that are lower than a direct competitors leads to lower sales due to perception of lower performance.

Another good example of a company avoiding numbers is Microsoft, the reason the Xbox naming scheme makes no sense is because when the 2nd Xbox was announced they didn't want the perception that the Xbox 2 was worse power/capabilities wise than the PlayStation 3. So they went with 360 which made no sense but neither does series s/x/one.

It really only effects the average person who doesn't really understand hardware specs but that is still more of the overall market than people like you and I who are already considered more educated because we read and comment on stuff like this

The biggest issue here and reason to not do this is the amd v Intel update cadence in relation to years new CPU's that use the same socket. AMD support's more generations of CPU on a socket so Intel just end up being out of sync with AMD ok numbers, within 6 years it's not impossible to see Intel release 4 sockets but AMD would only do 2 putting Intel at a higher value than AMD.

If that were true, the Ford F-150 wouldn't sell as well as the Chevy Silverado 1500.

More dangerous than ever, both are now using LGA sockets. Can't wait for someone to cram an AMD or Intel CPU in the wrong socket.

Confirmed !

AMD's 800 series chipsets are real. And, AMD's 9000 CPU lineup will initially include Ryzen 9 9950X, Ryzen 9 9900X, Ryzen 7 9700X, & Ryzen 5 9600X Desktop chips.

Taken from presentation deck by AORUS. The recently spotted B840 chipset has also been confirmed.

The Ryzen 9 9950X should be a 16 cores SKU, if we go by AMD's previous naming scheme.

Ryzen 9 9900X- 12 cores.

Ryzen 7 9700X- 8 cores.

Ryzen 5 9600X- 6 cores.

Some more changes expected from 9000 series. Infinity Fabric clock of FCLK is now rated at up to 2400 MHz, vs 2000 MHz on Ryzen 7000 series.

• Memory Native Speed by default - 5600 MT/s
• EXPO Speeds- up to 8000 MT/s+
• FCLK Speeds- 2400 MHz (Fabric)

The upcoming 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X CPU spotted running on an ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E GENE mobo, with 32 GB of DDR5-8400 memory.

JULY release date 100% confirmed as well ! 😉

You said "While the motherboard sounds like it would be obsolete almost upon delivery, the specifications for the board tell a different story"

You're wrong. Even the current 600 series boards won't be obsolete when 800 series arrives.

You really haven't looked into these too much have you? Both series will be running congruently with each other and will both support Zen 5.

800 series is really only adding in USB4 as mandatory. And a few tweaks here and there. Not a whole lot is changing. I'll get the board manufacturers will even keep supporting them both for a while with updates and such.
