AMD's upcoming Ryzen 8950X Zen 5 CPU is expected to offer significant performance improvements, with a 12-21% increase in single-threaded performance and an 18-40% increase in multi-threaded performance compared to its predecessor. The Ryzen 8955HX, a chiplet-based processor with 16 Zen 5 CPU cores and a 40-CU RDNA 3.5 GPU, is rumored to perform similarly. AMD CEO expressed excitement about the upcoming Zen 5 processors, stating that customer feedback on the next-gen EPYC server processors based on Zen 5 has been very strong. Leaked shipping manifests reveal the existence of upcoming AMD Ryzen 8040U mobile and 7000G desktop CPUs.

A bug fix in Linux version 6.6 addresses an issue surrounding undefined instruction exceptions on Zen 4 chips when the Single Threaded Indirect Branch Predictors (STIBP) are disabled.
