AMD’s Ryzen 9000 range has caught the attention of many tech enthusiasts after a mention of it was found in an Alienware advert. A leaked image shared by Tom’s Hardware revealed an Alienware desktop PC with text indicating that it has an ‘AMD Ryzen 9000 Series’ chip inside.
This discovery has sparked speculation about the arrival of next-gen Zen 5 chips called Ryzen 9000, potentially coming sooner than expected. However, there are reasons to approach this news with caution, as the image comes from the less reliable Chiphell forums.
Doubts arise about the authenticity of the ad, as it could potentially be a mistake or a marketing blunder, especially given the early appearance of next-gen Ryzen 9000 CPUs in promotional materials. Moreover, there hasn’t been significant leakage around Zen 5 chips, making it challenging to believe they are near being revealed.
While the rumored launch date of Zen 5 is around the middle of 2024, some speculation suggests the CPUs could come earlier next year, possibly at CES 2024, followed by a launch a few months later.
In conclusion, the leaked image of the Alienware ad should be treated with skepticism. However, it remains possible that Zen 5 desktop chips could end up being labeled as Ryzen 9000, but the timing and details of their release are still uncertain.
