With the latest update to the AMD Microcode Extraction Tool, Zen 5-based Ryzen Granite Ridge processors and the AM5+ platform are supported. It is stated. Two Zen 5 Granite Ridge Ryzen desktop CPU models have been added to the vehicle, it is thought that the first model may be a qualification example and the second model may be an early engineering example.
8-core and 6-core variants of Granite Ridge processors are being sent to motherboard manufacturers for early testing and evaluation. The new update also includes the AM5+ platform, and it is stated that automatic data size detection and microcode pattern adjustment are made for the new platform.
The AM5+ platform is thought to be an improved version of the existing AM5 platform and updated with new features. It is also said that Zen 5 processors will be compatible with the existing AM5 socket, but AM5+ motherboards may offer some features that will only work on these motherboards. The same thing happened on the AM4 platform.
AMD’s AM5+ motherboards are estimated to be released in the third quarter of 2024. It is also expected to make announcements about the Ryzen Zen 5 Granite Ridge desktop family and other issues at the Computex 24 event. What features do you expect to see in Zen 5 Ryzen desktop processors?
