AMD Expected To Introduce Two New Chips On Its Dying Platform

Expert Verified By

AM4 Is Not Dead Yet!

Story Highlight
  • AMD has expanded the AM4 platform with the Ryzen 9 5900XT and 5800X3D, releasing over 145 CPUs in nine years.
  • Upcoming Ryzen 5 5600T and 5600XT are both 6-core CPUs, with the 5600T being a Vermeer desktop version.
  • The Ryzen 5600XT is expected to have a base frequency of 3.8 GHz, while the 5600T is anticipated to be 3.5 GHz, both with a 65W TDP.

AMD expanded the AM4 platform with the release of the Ryzen 9 5900XT and Ryzen 7 5800X3D in July. That being said the AM4 platform has been one of the most successful platforms from AMD so far.

Given that it has released over 145 CPUs in the last nine years, AMD wants the AM4 platform to remain relevant. According to recent listings on motherboard pages, AMD is reportedly planning to release the Ryzen 5 5600T and 5600XT processors.

Why it matters: The expansion of the AM4 platform shows AMD’s commitment to providing diverse, high-performance options for consumers by introducing the AMD 5 5600T and 5600XT.

The 5600T and 5600XT, both 6-core processors, are now included in the lists of compatible CPUs. The 5600XT is anticipated to utilize the same chip, as confirmed by MSI’s page, while the 5600T is a Vermeer processor.

This implies that buyers will receive a legitimate desktop version comparable to the 5600X/5600 instead of a modified mobile APU.

In terms of specs, the Ryzen 5600XT is expected to feature a 3.8 GHz base frequency, whereas the 5600T delivers a 3.5 GHz base clock, according to early specifications. While we do not yet know the turbo clocks, we do know that both are 65W processors.

AMD may not deliver these CPUs as it hasn’t verified them yet. However, it deserves praise for keeping the AM4 socket alive for such a long time. Now that there are so many options available, we’re not sure if anyone will be interested in purchasing these CPUs.

That said, if AMD was able to price them right, there might be many users on the market still looking for an upgrade with a limited budget.
