AMD Ryzen 7000 Raphael Zen4 Processors Closer than expected
According to a AMD leaker Greymon55 AMD's CPUs codenamed “Raphael” will be mass produced next month. AMD is expected to begin mass manufacturing of the new Ryzen processor in April or May.
Because the Ryzen 7000 series features an entirely new socket design a 4-5 month gap in between manufacturing and launch seems feasible. It is likely that AMD will be ready to introduce Raphael in the early fourth quarter. This would be just in time to compete with Intel's 13th generation "Raptor Lake" Core processors.
Raphael will be a multi-chip module consisting of "Zen 4" CCDs manufactured on the TSMC N5 (5 nm) node and a cIOD manufactured on an unknown node. Packaging is done at a factory in China. The "Zen 4" CPU cores are projected to have increased IPC as well as faster clock rates. Next-generation connectivity, such as PCI-Express Gen 5 (with CPU-attached Gen 5 NVMe), and DDR5 memory, will also be available. These processors will be available in conjunction with Socket AM5 motherboards based on AMD's new 600 series chipsets.

i expect a good price bump, i would preffer to wait the second AM5 generation, but waiting for something better can led you to never update your pc. We will see

This makes a lot of the newest 5000 series releases all the more confusing, because enthusiasts are likely going to deliberately not buy them in anticipation for the 7000 series, and anyone who doesn't care enough isn't going to understand why the 5800X3D costs so much more. So, these new 5000 series parts are basically just left for people who haven't yet upgraded and are on a budget (DDR5 is still really expensive). Sounds like a rather small market.

Excited for these. I'm going to hold off of getting the 5900x even though its price is almost dropping by the week. I was so tempted though.
