Being one of the leading companies in the processor sector, amd has always presented a large number of CPU models that seek to compete in all aspects against those of its rival, whether in power, price or other factors that we can take into account. As the launch of its new generation gets closer and closer, many operating systems are preparing for it, and Linux allows us to see that it is possible that amd launch 64 models of processors.
Due to several leaks, during the last few months we have been able to see more and more features about the Zen 5 of amd, and one of the news that we currently have is the fact that the company could have prepared many models of processors of the new generation, although it is possible that we will not see all of them. Even so, this implies that the launch of these CPUs is getting closer, since the leak comes directly from a Linux update that prepares the OS for these new processors.
AMD could present a large number of Zen 5 models
The company that created Ryzen begins to lay the foundations for the arrival of the new generation of its processors based on the architecture Zen 5and the latest news that we know related to these CPUs is that urgent patches are currently being implemented in the Linux kernel that cover four numerical ranges of the new generation of processors. amd.
These numerical ranges can be directly related to the type of CPU it is, which implies that each of the numbers within said ranges could represent each of the processors that amd is planning to present. These ranges go from 0 to 15, from 32 to 47, from 64 to 79 and from 112 to 127, which would leave us, if each number was related to a processor, which amd It could present up to sixteen processors within each of the CPU ranges, Strix Point for mobile phones or Granite Ridge for desktop computers would be some of the examples of these ranges.
Although obviously, we may not see all models as market launches, taking into account that there may be versions that are CPU-only versions used solely for development, others that may be related to pre-releases and so on.
AMD’s Zen 5 CPUs arrive with big improvements
As we well know, the architecture Zen 5 seeks to offer performance and power capable of surpassing any other processor, being one of the premises of amd, the quest to further improve CPU performance in intensive tasks. Although the new leaks that we have been able to see thanks to the update of the Linux kernel do not indicate anything related to the performance of these new processors, we can see how the company that created the Ryzen has sought to create a range of processors for each of them. the uses we can give it.
Among many other things, as we well know amd has been allocating a lot of resources to improving its AI-related capabilities, so we can expect significant improvements in AI performance thanks to its XDNA 2 technology. Meanwhile, the company continues to dominate the graphics market integrated, since thanks to the RDNA 3+ that the new processors will incorporate, there will be times when it is not necessary to use a graphics card to perform certain functions.
