It is said that AMD is going to skip a number in its next-gen chip line, which is a big deal in the tech world.
The Surprise of Naming
AMD isn’t naming the 700 series chipsets for Zen 5 boards, according to reports. It will be the 800 series and the top-of-the-line X870 processors that come next.
How AMD Motherboards Have Changed Over Time
AMD’s 600 series boards were the first to use the AM5 (LGA1718) socket. It had used this name since the 300-series, when AM4 and Zen 1 were first released. If the reports are true, this will be the first time AMD has skipped a number in the name of a chipset⁴.
When the 8000 Series Came Out
AMD’s next-generation Zen 5 desktop processors will come out later this year, along with new AM5 systems that have the 800-series chipset². This includes the brand-new X870².
What’s Next for AMD Motherboards
The report came from the Chinese news site Benchlife, which has been a reliable source of leaks in the past. It says it has something to do with matching Intel’s chipset names⁹. At Computex 2024TM, many motherboard makers are likely to show off AMD and Intel 800 series chip platforms.
This news shows how useful AMD’s next-generation processors could be. Stay tuned for more news about this exciting development⁹.
