The timing of these BIOS updates hints at an earlier release date for the Ryzen 9000 CPUs than initially anticipated. With Computex 2024 approaching, many speculate that AMD may reveal more details about the Zen 5 CPUs at the event, including a flagship chip with 16 Zen 5 cores.
It is rumored that the Ryzen 9000 series will follow the pattern of previous generations with options like Ryzen 9 9950X and Ryzen 7 9700X. Additionally, AMD plans to release Zen 5 CPUs featuring 3D V-Cache technology at a later date.
