AMD will ship its next-generation Ryzen 7000 processors this quarter, AMD executives have confirmed. That means the Ryzen 7000 will hit the streets at the end of September.
Previously, AMD had said that Ryzen 7000 would ship in the second half of the year, but the company lowered its release schedule in a conference call with analysts. AMD representatives indicated that the schedule change should be taken as a clarification, not as a change in the company’s roadmap.
AMD made it clear that Intel’s unexpected and catastrophic loss this quarter was primarily due to Intel’s execution, rather than broader industry issues, with AMD generating record revenue for the eighth consecutive quarter.
The good times also seem ready to roll on.
CEO Dr. Lisa Su said that AMD’s fourth quarter will be highlighted by the company’s new 5nm product line, which we are very excited about.
Those include the Ryzen 7000 lineup but also Radeon’s next-gen RDNA3 graphics cards. AMD expects the new RDNA3 GPUs to deliver a generation-over-generation improvement of more than 50 percent, a combination of design and 5nm process technology.
Ryzen 7000 CPUs will slot into motherboards with AMD’s new AM5 socket.
Ryzen 7000 should run at over 5GHz, using the new AM5 socket, according to previous AMD disclosures. Back in January, when AMD first announced the Ryzen 7000 and its Zen 4 architecture, the company specified the second half of 2022 as the launch date for the new chip.
At Computex, AMD executives pegged the fall as the launch date for their new processor. Now, it will be ready at the end of September.
AMD executives did not say exactly when the new Ryzen 7000 chips will launch or if they will generate revenue in the third quarter. However, the names of four chips – Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 7900X, Ryzen 7 7700X and Ryzen 5 7600X – were leaked on AMD’s website, according to VideoCardz.
Unfortunately, key details such as price, number of cores, and clock speed have yet to be officially confirmed.
However, what AMD’s results tell us is that Ryzen’s momentum continues and PC builders and end customers continue to buy.
