AMD is planning to release Ryzen 7000 CPUs in September
AMD's next-generation Ryzen 7000 "Raphael" desktop platform will be available in September. AMD expects to sell all of its current desktop CPUs before the start of the school year, before introducing all-new CPUs this fall.
It was previously already rumored that AMD's Zen 4-based Ryzen 7000-series CPUs would be available on September 15. Now that DigiTimes reports that the CPUs would be available in the middle of September, citing motherboard manufacturers, we may conclude that the information originates from two sources.
Raphael CPUs are built on the brand-new Zen 4 architecture and will support a number of new technologies, including DDR5 memory and the PCIe 5.0 interface. This necessitates the use of new AMD 600-series systems with the AM5 socket. The new CPU die is constructed using TSMC's N5 manufacturing technology. Although there isn't much room for CPU overclocking, the new method will enable very high clocks and larger caches. AMD had previously demonstrated a 16-core CPU with a boost frequency of 5.5 GHz. The new I/O die is manufactured at TSMC's N6 node (which will cut down its power consumption). ASMedia, a chipset partner, has begun mass manufacturing of the B650 chipsets, which are also used in the X670 and X670E. Because of the new am5 socket, each processor requires a new motherboard.
AMD has only stated that the chips will be available in the fall.

Ready to get off this Gaming Edge wifi x570 board with chocolate VRMs and PGA mounting BS. Squeaky bum time when taking off cooler to repaste. LGA no problems.
New board, new CPU. New GPU can wait till next year or whatever I'm set.

me too. i updated to a x570s mobo last year and i bought an rx6900xt in spring (tho' i could've saved $150 if i bought it now).
i could skip this entire generation but i won't because....ya'know... geek

The Gaming Edge wifi is, possibly, the biggest purchasing mistake I've made. It runs fine with the lower TDP parts but nicer things are not possible, and PGA... I made a pigs ear of mounting the D14 on my 5600 so need to take that off and do better (temps are not acceptable for big HSF). Not looking forward to that.
