AMD Rumored to Launch Ryzen 5 9600 Non-X CPU in January 2025

The budget-friendly Zen 5 processor is expected to include a Wraith Stealth cooler and maintain a 105W TDP.

AMD is reportedly preparing to release the Ryzen 5 9600, a non-X version of its Zen 5 CPU lineup, in late January 2025.
The processor is expected to feature slightly lower clock speeds compared to the Ryzen 5 9600X but retain the same 105W TDP.
Unlike the 9600X, the Ryzen 5 9600 is rumored to include a Wraith Stealth cooler, which could provide cost savings for entry-level buyers.
Speculated pricing for the Ryzen 5 9600 falls between $230 and $250, making it a competitive option for budget-conscious gamers.
The launch is anticipated shortly after CES 2025, where AMD is also likely to announce additional Zen 5 processors and RDNA 4 graphics cards.
