Rumor: Launch Date and Product Lineup for AMD Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 Processors

AMD's Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 lineup could include a Ryzen 9 7950X Flagship. AMD's next-generation CPUs will use the Zen 4 CPU. A leaked photograph from AMD China's "dealer promotion meeting" yesterday suggests Socket AM5 CPUs will be released on September 15. 



The business could unveil the Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 7900X, Ryzen 7 7800X, and Ryzen 5 7600X. These SKUs replace 5950X, 5900X, 5800X, and 5600X. AMD recently told us that 16-core/32-thread is the limit for the 7000 series, making the 7950X such a CPU. All these devices feature Socket AM5, PCI-Express Gen 5, and DDR5 connections.

A photo has recently surfaced on Twitter via the @wxnod account, most likely from a Chinese AMD dealer briefing. It was apparently about the upcoming Ryzen series, and the presentation artwork for the AM5 socket indicates that it will go on sale on September 15th. The Ryzen 5000 was introduced in November 2020, therefore the Ryzen 7000 release date would be surprising. Whether the photo is authentic cannot be confirmed. The date should therefore be viewed with a certain degree of skepticism.

Another rumor is that a Socket AM4 CPU with Zen 4 chiplets is said to be compatible with the existing cIOD, which supports PCI-Express Gen 4 and DDR4 interfaces. The story began with supply-chain sources (resellers). AMD is unsure whether it can target the low-end market with AM5 and whether low-cost DDR5 will arrive on time. Zen 4 + AM4 motherboards with DDR4 and PCIe Gen 4 connectivity would compete with Intel 600-series chipset motherboards. 

If that date is correct, we'll be there in less than three months.
