AMD is preparing to expand its Ryzen 9000 lineup, introducing several new CPUs, including a desktop variant devoid of integrated graphics and several Pro series processors aimed at enterprise customers.
ASUS Confirms New Ryzen PRO 9000 Processors and the Ryzen 7 9700F: The First Zen 5 CPU Without Integrated Graphics
Recent updates reveal that the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is the company’s first desktop CPU lacking integrated graphics, a detail confirmed by ASUS on its CPU support page. This processor is essentially a version of the Ryzen 7 9700X, but without the integrated GPU, necessitating users to utilize a dedicated graphics card for visual output.
Discovered by @momomo_us on the ASUS website, this CPU is rumored to boast some significant specifications. It features an 8-core, 16-thread architecture, a base clock speed of 3.8 GHz, and a sizeable 32 MB L3 cache. However, details regarding its boost clock remain undisclosed. With a thermal design power (TDP) of 65W, this processor presents a cost-effective alternative to the 9700X, allowing users to invest in a discrete GPU for enhanced graphics performance.
In addition to launching the mainstream Ryzen 9000 CPUs, AMD is reportedly gearing up to roll out the Ryzen PRO 9000 series, which has also been spotted on ASUS’s site. Upon searching for the Ryzen PRO 9000 CPUs, three specific models are revealed:
- Ryzen PRO 9 9945: 12 cores, 24 threads, base clock: 3.4 GHz, TDP: 65W, L3 Cache: 64 MB
- Ryzen PRO 7 9745: 8 cores, 16 threads, base clock: 3.8 GHz, TDP: 65W, L3 Cache: 32 MB
- Ryzen PRO 5 9645: 6 cores, 12 threads, base clock: 3.9 GHz, TDP: 65W, L3 Cache: 32 MB
The Ryzen PRO 9000 series will succeed the Ryzen PRO 7000 series while retaining similar core and thread configurations. Unlike the high-end Threadripper 9000 and Threadripper PRO series, the Ryzen PRO 9000 CPUs target entry-level enterprise solutions that mirror the consumer Ryzen 9000 processors’ specifications. For instance, the Ryzen PRO 7 9745 shares identical specs with the Ryzen 7 9700F.
The entry-level Ryzen PRO 5 9645 closely resembles the Ryzen 5 9600X, though the boost clock specifications are yet to be confirmed. Among the PRO 9000 offerings, AMD appears to present only a 12-core configuration at the top tier, raising speculation about potential future releases of a 16-core model. The Ryzen PRO 9 9945, while boasting the same core/thread count as the Ryzen 9 9900X, features a base clock that is 1 GHz lower, yet it operates at a more power-efficient 65W compared to the 120W of the 9900X, maintaining a robust 64 MB L3 cache.
While AMD has yet to officially unveil these processors, further information regarding the Ryzen PRO and 9700F models is anticipated in the near future.
