AMD Shifts Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4” CPU Launch Date To September 27th, Same Day As Intel’s 13th Gen Raptor Lake Announcement

It looks like AMD has rescheduled the launch of its Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4” CPU & AM5 platform originally scheduled for September 15th to late September.

We have just confirmed from our sources that AMD will start selling their next-generation CPUs in late September.

AMD Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4” CPUs And AM5 Platform Delayed To September 27, Same Day As Intel’s 13th Gen Raptor Lake Announcement

Earlier this month, we reported that AMD will hold an event in late August to announce details such as specs and pricing for its next-generation CPU “Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4″” and each AM5 platform.

It was also scheduled to go on sale just two weeks later, on September 15th.

However, AMD seems to have decided to stop selling for a while and position the real launch next to Intel’s 13th generation CPU “Raptor Lake” on September 27th.

Intel is set to hold an ‘Innovation’ event on September 27th to unveil its latest desktop processor codenamed Raptor Lake.

However, as AMD’s Ryzen 7000 CPUs are gearing up for the mass consumer market, this CPU is not expected to launch until October.

This might seem like AMD’s confidence in launching its own chips at a time when its competitors are announcing their next-gen parts.

At the same time, online retailers have started listing several AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs with preliminary 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 focus on high-end X670E and X670 designs, with the B650E and B650 variants expected to launch in the coming weeks (around October/November).

This new CPU adopts the all-new Zen 4 core architecture, up to 8% IPC, 15% more ST (single thread), 35% more MT (multithread) performance compared to Zen 3 core expected to improve.

In addition, AMD will boost the clock speeds of its next-generation CPUs with a boost clock of up to 5.7GHz, TDP 170W and PPT 230W, which is incredible.

In addition, the platform itself will also feature the latest technologies such as PCIe Gen 5.0 slots, Gen 5.0 M.2 support, DDR5 memory support (EXPO) and a new suite of SAS (Smart Access Storage) firmware running on the DirectStorage API framework. is.

Expected Features of AMD Ryzen ‘Zen 4’ Desktop CPUs.

sauce:wccftech – AMD Moves Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4” CPU Launch To 27th September, Same Day As Intel’s 13th Gen Raptor Lake Unveil

Commentary:

Ryzen 7000 series release date from 9/15 to 9/27

This is the same as Raptorlake, so I wonder if there was some kind of change in mind.

This time, judging from the leaks so far, I think Raptorlake has higher performance.

I think Zen 4 has the same performance as Alderlake, or slightly better.

It is highly likely that AMD will lose this generational battle.

So if you ask if AMD is losing all the time…

It’s possible that it wasn’t.

This is because Intel 4 has the same problem as Intel 7, “the problem that the clock cannot be raised” has emerged.

Intel 7 (Intel 10nm at that time) took four years to produce desktop products counting from CoffeeLake in 2017.

If Intel 4 is so entangled, it will be difficult for Intel to stick to the production of arithmetic tiles in-house.

According to CEO Gelsinger, the production of Intel 4 was going very well, so it’s a little surprising that this kind of problem is coming out now.

There are rumors that if Intel 4 is no good, TSMC 5nm will be used, but it is possible that future plans will be hindered depending on how far this problem is dragged.

Above all, ArrowLake uses Intel20A, so if Intel4 can’t be launched in 2023, Intel4 will be skipped.

Then, skipping Intel 4 and asking if Intel 20A can get a stone that goes up to a high clock, isn’t it a bit difficult?

Looking at AlderLake and RaptorLake, I thought all Fab’s problems had been solved, but it doesn’t seem to be that easy.
