History
Predecessor(s) Zen 4

Zen 5 is the codename for an upcoming CPU microarchitecture by AMD, shown on their roadmap in May 2022, [3] destined for a release in the second half of 2024. [4] It is the successor to Zen 4 and is believed to use TSMC's 4 nm and 3 nm processes. [5] [6] It will power Ryzen 9050U/HS thin and light mobile processors (codenamed "Kraken Point" and "Strix Point"), Ryzen 9055HX series extreme mobile processors (codenamed "Fire Range"), Epyc 9005 server processors (codenamed "Turin"), [7] Ryzen 9000 series desktop processors (codenamed "Granite Ridge"), and Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series enthusiast/workstation processors (codenamed "Shimada Peak"). [8] [9]

Zen 5c

Zen 5c is a compact variant of the Zen 5 core, primarily targeted at hyperscale cloud compute server customers. [10] It will succeed the Zen 4c core.
