AMD has just unveiled its latest lineup of CPUs and has surprised everyone with a completely new naming scheme for some of the chips too. Using the much-anticipated new Zen 5 architecture, AMD has unveiled the new AMD Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs for desktop and AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series CPUs for laptops.
We’ve long been anticipating that these new AMD Zen 5 desktop chips will be likely contenders for a top spot on our best gaming CPU guide but it’s of course no guarantee until we test them. However, with a 16% improvement in instructions per clock (IPC), AMD has delivered a decent jump up in raw speed, which should translate to faster gaming performance.
