According to a recent leak coming via @momomo_us, AMD is prepping to launch two brand new Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 desktop CPUs for the OEM market segment, the non-X Ryzen 9 5900 and the non-X Ryzen 7 5800, respectively. But before continuing, you should keep this in mind that both of these chips are targeted towards OEMs and pre-build desktop PCs, and will not be sold separately or hit the retail shelves anytime soon.
Though, AMD can have a change of heart if the company feels these new SKUs might also get a positive reception and strong demand from gamers and the DIY market as a whole. But as of now, these are only targeting OEMs.
An Original Equipment Manufacturer or OEM is a company that manufactures and sells products or parts of a product that their buyer, another company, sells to its own customers while putting the products under its own branding. For example, DELL, HP, iBUYPOWER, Gateway, and others.
According to previous leaks, it was rumored before that AMD is readying two brand new non-X Ryzen 5000 Desktop CPUs for the OEM segment based on the Zen 3 architecture, as revealed by Patrick Schur and Momomo_US. Now, we some confirmation on the specs of these new processors.
The CPUs will offer the same core configuration as their ‘X’ series brethren, but the main differentiator would be the clock speed frequency value and TDP/thermals. Though, these non-X SKUs sport a 100 MHz lower boost clock frequency than the X counterparts, based on the data leaked by Momomo_US.
These SKUs have a 65W TDP value, which is 40W less than the X-series. It has been confirmed that the Ryzen 9 5900 is a 12-cores/24 threads CPU with 70 MB of total cache, while the Ryzen 7 5800 is an 8-cores/16 threads CPU with 36 MB of total cache.
We can also expect a slightly lower price point for these CPU entries. If we want make an educated guess, then we can speculate the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 to cost around $499, USD while the Ryzen 7 5800 could end up for roughly $399 USD.
These processors will launch for OEMs as part of their pre-build desktop PC configs in the coming weeks/months.
Stay tuned for more tech news!
Hello, my name is NICK Richardson. I’m an avid PC and tech fan since the good old days of RIVA TNT2, and 3DFX interactive “Voodoo” gaming cards. I love playing mostly First-person shooters, and I’m a die-hard fan of this FPS genre, since the good ‘old Doom and Wolfenstein days.
MUSIC has always been my passion/roots, but I started gaming “casually” when I was young on Nvidia’s GeForce3 series of cards. I’m by no means an avid or a hardcore gamer though, but I just love stuff related to the PC, Games, and technology in general. I’ve been involved with many indie Metal bands worldwide, and have helped them promote their albums in record labels. I’m a very broad-minded down to earth guy. MUSIC is my inner expression, and soul.

OEM it is then. They should release this for DIY as well. Or better yet reduce the price of the X parts, and make the STOCK availability a less of an issue.
There is little point in releasing any product, when it is going to be limited in quantity. Any specific reason why only OEM AMD has chosen ?
Why this segmentation in the Gaming market scene ? More profit ?
Yeah
AMD already doing well in DIY market. Now they are trying to get more design win from OEM. But to get that design win AMD must guarantee that they can provide the volume else OEM will go to intel. Due to this reason alone majority of AMD CPU will go towards OEM first. This is why AMD will going to need other foundry as well. Because going forward the overcrowded TSMC will not be able to provide enough capacity needed by AMD.
The 65W 8-core is the one I wanted but seeing OEM only is sad 🙁
AMD really did go too hard on the Zen 3 pricing.
with how PBO works, u can just as easily buy the X and key in 65W within seconds and works as intended. I’ve even got plans to turn my 3900X into an HTPC rig when i can finally get a 5900X, probably run it around 45-50W tdp
Will that reduce the overall performance of the CPU, if the TDP is lowered on the chip ? I think clock speeds are surely going to get affected.
only the multi-threaded performance mostly, but no different then the lowerend chips (like non-X).
you’d be targeting the total chip power so you keep the single-threaded performance and cut off the multicore perf to make it throttle under full load but again no different than the non-X parts. its fully configurable anyway so you have many ways to go about doing it. combine that with a small undervolt and you can actually gain performance compared to stock. I also think they have a feature called “ECO mode” that does that in essentially 1 click.
Yeah well how about make some more cpus huh?
