AMD appears to have moved its original September 15 launch plans for the Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4” CPU and AM5 platform to late September. We’ve just received confirmation from our sources that AMD will release its next generation CPUs for sale in late September.
AMD Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4” CPU and AM5 Platform Pushed Back to September 27th, Same Day as Intel’s 13th Gen Raptor Lake
Earlier this month we informed AMD would hold an event at the end of August where they will announce all the details such as the specifications and pricing of the next generation Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4” CPU and the corresponding AM5 platform. The company also planned to open sales just two weeks later on September 15. But it seems that AMD has decided to hold off on sales for a while and place the real presentation next to it Intel’s 13th generation Raptor Lake CPUs on September 27.
Intel is expected to host “Innovation” event On September 27, the company will present its latest desktop processors, codenamed Raptor Lake. The CPUs won’t be available until October, but AMD’s Ryzen 7000 CPUs will be ready for the mass consumer market. It might seem like AMD is very confident in launching its chips when its competitor announces next-gen parts. At the same time, online retailers have started listing several AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs with introductory prices.:
- Ryzen 9 7950X (16 Cores / 32 Threads)
- Ryzen 9 7900X (12 Cores / 24 Threads)
- Ryzen 7 7700X (8 cores / 16 threads)
- Ryzen 5 7600X (6 cores / 12 threads)
AMD’s first wave of 600 series motherboards will be in the spotlight high-end X670E and X670 designs the B650E and B650 products in a few weeks (around October/November). The new CPUs will feature the new Zen 4 core architecture, which is expected to deliver up to 8% IPC, >15% ST (Single-Threaded) and >35% MT (Multi-Threaded) performance improvements compared to Zen 3 cores. .
In addition, AMD is going crazy with clock speeds on its next generation CPUs Boost clocks up to 5.7GHz, 170W TDP and 230W PPT. Moreover, it will be equipped with the latest technologies, like the platform itself PCIe Gen 5.0 slots, Gen 5.0 M.2 support, DDR5 memory support (EXPO)and a new SAS (Smart Access Storage) Firmware suite that runs on the DirectStorage API framework.
