AMD Granite Ridge Ryzen Desktop CPUs Spotted: Zen 5 In 8 & 6 Core Flavors, 105W & 170W TDPs

AMD’s upcoming Granite Ridge Ryzen Desktop CPUs, featuring 6 and 8 cores and based on the Zen 5 architecture, have been identified in a shipping document.

Leaked Details on AMD’s Upcoming “Granite Ridge”Desktop CPUs: 8 and 6 Core Models with High TDP

Similarly, similar to the recently leaked AMD Ryzen Mobility CPUs using the Zen 5 core architecture, the first examples of the Granite Ridge Desktop Ryzen CPU line have also been revealed and were discovered by Momomo_US. At least two models of the AMD Ryzen Granite Ridge CPU family are mentioned, including the following:

• 100-000001404-01 – 8 Core / 16 Thread Granite Ridge (Zen 5 Ryzen Desktop) 170W TDP
• 100-000001290-21 – 6 Core / 12 Thread Granite Ridge (Zen 5 Ryzen Desktop) 105W TDP

The intriguing aspect of this leak is that it specifies the core count and CPU family designation for each WeU. It is expected that the 8-core chip will be placed in the Ryzen 7 category with a maximum TDP of 170W, while the 6-core chip will be positioned in the Ryzen 5 category with a 105W TDP. Additionally, the 6-core chip is noted as an A0 revision and the 8-core chip is listed as a B0 revision.

It is probable that these chips are early prototypes and the TDPs listed may not accurately reflect the final product. For instance, the current 8-core “Zen 4″configuration of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X CPU has a maximum TDP of 105W. If AMD plans to increase the TDP to 170W for their 8-core Zen 5 chips, we can anticipate significant improvements in clock speed, as the Ryzen 7 7700X already boasts a peak clock speed of 5.3 GHz.

• Enhanced performance and efficiency
• Re-pipelined front-end and wide issue
• Integrated AI and Machine Learning optimizations

We have witnessed numerous updates and optimizations taking place behind the scenes to improve the Zen 5 core architecture in recent patches. Additionally, alleged samples with matching OPN codes have also been leaked earlier.

Those purchasing an AM5 platform for their PC can rest assured that it will be compatible with the upcoming generation of AMD Ryzen CPUs. AMD has announced their commitment to supporting the AM5 socket until at least 2025, following in the footsteps of their strong 7-year+ dedication to the AM4 platform. Additionally, the Zen 5 core architecture will be implemented in the Strix Point codenamed laptops, which are also set to release later in 2025.
