Possible AMD Ryzen 7000 Launch Timeline Surfaces: Late-Aug Launch, Mid-Sep Availability

[btarunr]

With AMD making it clear in investor-communications that its next-generation Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" desktop processors will launch before October 2022; the countdown to their launch started. Wccftech got hold of a possible set of key dates. Apparently, August 28 is the big date on which AMD will formally announce its Ryzen 7000 Socket AM5 desktop processor lineup.

Following the August 28 announcement, the review NDA—the date on which you can read the first reviews of the retail products—is reportedly set at September 13. Market availability follows two days later, starting September 15. This is when you can actually buy the processor and compatible motherboards off the shelves. There's no word on a pre-order date; but it's always advisable to catch reviews before committing to purchase something that ships before launch date. These dates align with a mid-June leak of the launch date by AMD in a retailer promotion meeting held in China.



The specific times attached with these dates are as follows (as reported by Wccftech):

• Product announcement: August 29, 2022 at 8:00PM ET / August 30, 2022 at 2:00AM CET / 8:00AM TW
• Press embargo: September 13, 2022 at 9AM ET / 3PM CET / 9PM TW
• Sales embargo: September 15, 2022 at 9AM ET / 3PM CET / 9PM TW

The first wave of Ryzen 7000 "Raphael" desktop processors based on the "Zen 4" microarchitecture will consist of just four SKUs, with more being added through 2023. These include the Ryzen 9 7950X and 7900X; the Ryzen 7 7700X; and the Ryzen 5 7600X.

Launch of Ryzen 7000 processors will go hand in hand with that of the first Socket AM5 motherboards. There are at least three known chipset models—X670E, X670, and B650. It's unclear if all three chipset models will be available in September.

Also falls on a Tuesday; Tuesday 13th is an unlucky day in many countries.

Some companies are superstitious, software and hardware vendor my company works with simply refuses to release anything on 13th. With their software they went from sequential version numbering (12.3) to yearly designation (21) just to avoid 13.

Do not make the mistake of buying this cpu before reviews, intel is getting closer to amd in nm size, soon we will have apples to apples again then we will see what is really the best cpu, by the way my current cpu is 5900x.

They might be getting close in the marketing nm, but actual metrics like transistor density are not in Intel's favor. For example the "5 nm class" process has been available in actual TSMC-made producs like Apple A14 since 2020 while Intel's version is planned to go on-line in 2023 with lower density. The next "3 nm class" TSMC 3N with almost twice the density is expected to be available in Apple products this year or early next year.
I wish for more competition, but it doesn't look good for Intel...

Why would it be a mistake? I know that Common sense would say what you are saying but if they can do what Dr Lisa Su said at a press event earlier and have all cores run at 5 Ghz it should be much snappier than my 5950X which can only do single core 5+ Ghz. The only real mitigating factor for me is the cost. Thankfully the price should not be too high thanks to current market conditions.

You should make educated purchases. Waiting for reviews is good. It's also good to wait a bit to simply avoid early adopter problems. Just look at Alder Lake and their "Scroll Lock" troubleshooting.

I’m pretty sure the WCCFtech article said August 29 but what’s one day between friends.

Do you really think that Day one reviews will reveal all the Gremlins on the platform? Is this the 1st time that AMD has released boards with the pins on the board? Is this the same basic Ryzen architecture that we have enjoyed for the last 5 years? I did wait for reviews of the 1700x but did not need a review for any of the other Ryzen CPUs I have bought. Reviews are good but can also have the wrong influence. Just look at the 6500XT and you will see that the reviews on the sites where people have actually bought them and used them long term are much more positive than the "Day one" reviews. Show me a pundit review for the InWin SR36 and you won't find one even though that unit is better than anything Corsair makes but costs less than 1/2 because there is no propaganda applied.

You should at least watch the review, waiting for gremlins is even better. Architecture might not be new, but PCI gen 5, chipset and DDR5 are new. DDR4 is old now and yet people still run into issues with some memory kits on Ryzen. New drivers, new bioses, sure go in blind and report back.

6500XT is still gimped by PCI-E Gen 4 x4, if you but it with Gen 3 board you're running into x4 bottleneck and if you've got Gen 4 board what are you doing buying a 6500XT? It matches 1060 6G in performance, a GPU from 2016.

You can buy Corsair AIO anywhere, reviewers receive samples on release day. SR36 can be bought in Taiwan or from Amazon and it's been out for at least 2 years. You don't need propaganda, you need market reach and a good marketing team. If there's no interest there's no reviews. GN can review some random cooler from Aliexpress simply because enough people ask them to test it. So how come this magic InWin AIO is shunned upon by everyone?

 

[HD64G]

Why?

Because unlike other tech companies, AMD will allow the reviews to be published 2 days before the sales begin.

I really hope they choose to release the B650 boards at the same time as the X670/X670E this time around since most users even first adapters could properly just be satisfied with the B650 chipset if it doesn't have the same limits as the B450/550 when it comes to 2xM.2. connect will disable 2xSATA ports this is the most annoying thing ever.

They will fight back with their 13th generation!

Launch Timeline Surfaces: Late-Aug Launch, Mid-Sep Availability

So, let's call it a mid-September launch then.

DDR5 seems to work fine in AMD laptops. I know that boards can be the source of problems and probably will avoid some brands because of exactly that. I will not be buying Corsair Ram either.

Yes perceived, but with a steady clock of 2985 MHZ you are also seeing one of the fastest GPU clocks available. That 450 Watt PSU is great as all you need is a 6 pin. Does the 1060 6G support HDMI 2.1? From 2016 is the same thing you could say about the 3050. One can easily get a B550 board for a reasonable about of money if that is such a pain in the butt. You see I have tried the 6500XT with Gen 3 (5600G) and Gen 4 (5600) and though the 5600 gives about 30 more FPS in most scenarios I was already over 100 FPS @1080P in most Games.

The Inwin SR36 is something I mentioned because of when it was released (At the height of the lockdown) as a result I do not believe that review samples were sent out to the channels. The funny thing is there are reviews of it's successor. Having said that it has a huge heat-spreader and 2 pumps, but is also one of the easiest installs with the pump and fans all connected to the CPU header to control the speed but a SATA connector to not worry about power.

At least Ryzen 7000 has a higher supported JEDEC DDR5 speed than Alder Lake. Alder lake has retraining issues and when you're close to the limit of memory stability it'll just randomly become unstable after a few reboots.

I just want to see the numbers. And whether or not I've got to beg my Mrs AGAIN for MORE new stuff.

hopefully some of those new Motherboards still sport a PS/2 port

With prices coming down and the likelihood of discounts increasing, you can expect WAF to improve going forward
