AMD expected to release 800 series motherboard chipsets for Ryzen 9000 CPUs — chipset series numbers to run in parallel to Intel

AMD Headquarters Santa Clara.

AMD is preparing to launch its next-generation desktop CPU and motherboard series. The current flagship consumer motherboard chipset from AMD is the X670 (E), which we’d expect to be succeeded by the X760 (E). However, recent leaks suggest AMD will skip ahead and dub the next chipset X860 (E), running in parallel with Intel's 800 motherboard chipset series like the Intel Z890 flagship. Both x86 CPU vendors will thus simultaneously be offering 800 series chipsets - which shouldn't but may cause more confusion among customers.

Most major motherboard manufacturers will display their newest AMD and Intel motherboards at Computex 2024 in early June. On the AMD side of things, expect these motherboards to be compatible with the upcoming Ryzen 9000 series of CPUs, codenamed Granite Ridge.
