AMD Ryzen 7000 is launching this quarter
AMD confirms Zen4-based “Raphael” desktop CPUs are on track to launch within the next 8 weeks.
During Q2 Earnings call AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su confirmed Ryzen 7000 series will launch this quarter. That narrows the launch date from previously communicated ‘this fall’ (so September – December) to just September. According to the rumors AMD might reveal the new series on September 15th, which would be the date of the product announcement with launch later that month.
“Looking ahead, we’re on track to launch our all-new 5nm Ryzen 7000 desktop processors and AM5 platforms later this quarter with leadership performance in gaming and content creation,”
— AMD CEO, Dr. Lisa Su
The company is set to unveil more details on X670E motherboard designs from their partners this week. AMD is hosting the Meet The Expert event for enthusiasts and professionals where representatives from all major board partners will talk about their AMD 600-series motherboards for Ryzen 7000 series.
Furthermore, Lisa Su also reaffirmed that Radeon RX 7000 series are on track to launch ‘later this year’. This means that there are no changes or updates to the previously communicated launch window.
