The driver’s blunder was spotted by X user MelodicWarrior, who found references to unreleased silicon sitting quietly in the update notes. Among them is the Ryzen 5 9600X3D, a chip that will drag AMD’s 3D V-Cache tech into entry-level gaming territory.

The 9600X3D will have 6 cores and 12 threads along with a single CCD and second-gen 3D V-Cache offering 64 MB of cache bolted on top of the usual 32 MB. That’s 96 MB of L3 ready to pump up frame rates without punching a hole in your wallet.

The TDP and clocks should align with the plain Ryzen 5 9600, which has already been available in pre-built systems. That chip also offers 6 cores, 12 threads, and a top boost of 5.2 GHz, with 32 MB of L3 cache and a 65W power envelope.

It’s been shipping to system integrators for a while now, which is why you won’t have spotted it boxed on a shelf unless you frequent OEM warehouses in your spare time.

Then come the Ryzen 9000 PRO chips aimed at business desktops. The leak lists four: Ryzen 9 PRO 9945, Ryzen 7 PRO 9745, Ryzen 5 PRO 9645, and Ryzen 5 PRO 9400. It’s unclear whether these use the same “Granite Ridge” architecture or something more advanced.

They don’t carry AMD’s usual “G” suffix for integrated graphics, so don’t expect these to double up as APUs. AMD’s new APU line is scheduled to arrive later in 2025, but these aren’t part of that batch.

All of this is apparently scheduled to drop in the second half of the year, though initially through system integrators, meaning DIY builders will be among the last to get a chance unless AMD has a change of heart.
