AMD’s new Ryzen 9000 CPUs are cheaper than its previous-gen chips


AMD isn’t cashing in on Intel’s CPU issues.

AMD is promising around a 16 percent instructions per cycle (IPC) uplift in performance over the previous-generation Ryzen CPUs, with big promises of performance gains in both productivity tasks and gaming. Fortunately, these new Ryzen 9000 CPUs work in any existing AM5 motherboards, a socket that AMD has committed to support until at least 2027. Intel has discovered the root cause of the problems and is planning to issue a microcode fix in the coming weeks, but existing CPUs that are already damaged from too-high voltages will need to be replaced.
