AMD to Release 800 Series Motherboard Chipsets for Ryzen 9000 CPUs

AMD is gearing up to launch its next-generation desktop CPU and motherboard series, with leaks suggesting that the upcoming chipset will be named X860 (E), skipping ahead of the current X670 (E) chipset. This move will put AMD in parallel with Intel’s 800 motherboard chipset series, like the Intel Z890 flagship. The new chipsets are expected to be showcased by major motherboard manufacturers at Computex 2024 in early June. These motherboards will be compatible with the upcoming Ryzen 9000 series of CPUs, codenamed Granite Ridge. Despite sharing the 800 series nomenclature with Intel, the motherboards will feature different sockets and support different processors.

AMD and Intel to Launch 800 Series Chipsets Simultaneously

Both AMD and Intel are set to offer flagship motherboards using the 800 series chipset nomenclature simultaneously. The upcoming Ryzen 9000 CPUs will be paired with the 800 series chipsets, while Intel will also introduce its new motherboard chipset with the same numbering scheme. While the chipsets will share similar names, they will feature different sockets and processor support. Recent leaks suggest that AMD will skip ahead to the X860 (E) chipset, running parallel to Intel’s 800 series chipsets like the Z890 flagship. The new chipsets will be on display at Computex 2024 and are expected to bring new features and performance enhancements.
