AMD CEO Lisa Su Says Ryzen 7000 Launch Availability to be Strong
AMD CEO Lisa Su, who has supervised the company's rise from the ashes, looked to assuage fears of reduced stock for the launch of AMD's next-gen Ryzen 7000 series CPUs. Hardware enthusiasts being understandably burned from the last generation of GPU and CPU's lack of availability (and ensuing scalping practices), the CEO in today's announcement of the Ryzen 7000 series carried a promise: "It is true that if you look at the past 18 months there have been a number of things, whether its capacity limitations or logistics," she said. "From an AMD standpoint, we have dramatically increased our overall capacity, in terms of wafers, as well as substrates and on the back end. So with our launch of Zen 4 we don't expect any supply constraints."
AMD's Zen 4 family is being launched with the new AM5 socket, which AMD says will live through 2025+ for subsequent CPU releases. The company has managed to increase IPC by 13% while decreasing the overall CCD size by 18% compared to that of Zen 3 (reducing the area/cost impact of adding integrated graphics throughout the lineup). Frequencies have gone up to a maximum 5.7 GHz thanks to smart circuitry redesign and TSMC's 5 nm node. AMD says its Ryzen 7000 can thus be expected to provide up to 29% higher single-core and 45% higher multi-core performance. Of course, with macroeconomics being what they are, and recent reports on lack of low-price chips throughout the market, it's not only the availability of Ryzen 7000 CPUs that matters: AM5 motherboards and DDR5 memory chip stocks have to be taken into account as well. But all in all, AMD seems to be prepared for a successful and quantity-adequate launch.

And Intel releasing new chips with a complete product range from budget to high-end, DDR4 support, etc. shortly afterwards.
I don't see there being a shortage, lol.
1. Great;
2. So-so;
3. Epic fail?
not true
Edit: I also don't see how am5 board will have higher priced MB, ddr4 v ddr5 z690 board's price is usually the same.
By the time both lineups have the whole value set available, you might-as-well wait until CES! So, I hope AMD has a much quicker price-cut response than the 8 months it took them for the 5700x!
Not exactly sure how October equals "waiting several months" ? (CPUs aren't even out till September 27th so October is hardly a signficant wait)
And a reminder to WAIT FOR THIRD PARTY BENCHMARKS FOR DEFINITIVE PERFORMANCE NUMBERS!!!
However there are many motherboards these days that you can flash without a CPU.
Also, I wish for all of us that lower tire zen4 will be available in even larger availability BEFORE intel swing hard on the mid-low market, as happened with gen12.
If they can't than zen4, no matter how good it will be, will not cash in it's potential.
