AMD Said to be Releasing no Less Than Four New Ryzen 5000-Series Chips in March
According to yet another leak, it would appear that AMD is planning to release no less than four new CPUs in its Ryzen 5000-series this month, with the obvious headline product being the already announced Ryzen 7 5800X3D. However, details of a further three CPUs have turned up on Twitter and it looks like AMD is planning to go head to head with Intel, if the rumoured price brackets are indeed correct. The expected three new CPUs are the Ryzen 7 5700X, Ryzen 5 5600 and Ryzen 5 5500.
The Ryzen 7 5700X is as expected an eight core, 16 thread CPU that is said to be cheaper than an Intel Core i5-12600KF, which means an MSRP around the US$250-270 mark. The six core, twelve thread Ryzen 5 5600 on the other hand, is said to be cheaper than the Core i5-12400, so it should get a sub US$200 MSRP. Finally the six core, six thread Ryzen 5 5500, is said to land at the same price point as the Core i3-12100, pointing at a US$130 MSRP. Unfortunately, no indication of pricing for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D was given, but based on the fact that AMD seems to be dropping the pricing of its current Ryzen 5000-series of processors in the US market, it'll hopefully get a competitive price point.
Update Mar 8th: According to a post on Facebook by a computer shop called TechMovers in the Phillipines, we can except an additional two SKUs to what leaked this weekend. No actual specs were provided, but in addition to the Ryzen 5000-series chips mentioned originally, it looks like AMD is planning on adding a pair of 4000-series models as well. The two chips will be the Ryzen 5 4500 and the Ryzen 3 4100. These new chips might not even be based on the Zen 3 architecture, considering AMD put them in a series of their own, but as these new chips are expected to arrive later this month, the wait won't be too long until we find out what AMD has in store.

With all the smack intel has been saying I say good for amd if it beats 12900k as it's supposed to
12900k can be used at 5.4-5.5 for 24/7 with DDR5@6400...
Announce a new platform with all its bells and whistles - and then launch a refresh as the one last hurrah for the old platform.
They get two product lines to sell and announce to shareholders, while users wanting an upgrade are happy as well as users wanting an entirely new system
Some people just want to complain about anything.
AMD doesn't release anything = complaint
AMD releases new CPU= complaint
It's been like that for at least a couple of years.
Front page, not so much.
In gaming, 5700X will be almost identical to 5600X.
In productivity the situation will be a little bit better, but still no match for Intel.
AMD did quite a lot of strategic mistakes in 2021, not capitalizing the tech advantage, being too greedy.better products ? A toned down 5800X (the "new 5700X") and a 6C/6T CPU in 2022 (the "new 5500") ?
I can't see anything better here...exactly.
Intel prices already started to drop, while AMD kept inflated prices on Zen 3 products for too long. Now AMD CPU are an interesting option for customers already on an AM4 platform. But for a new PC is quite hard to suggest an AMD solution (with 5600G/5700G being an exception for people looking for a decent iGPU).
Price cut for current 5000 series, the new price for refresh/3D/something on current prices.
One can always hope. It's too bad the 5700G didn't have 32MB cache.

This makes for at least 10 new AMD processors launching in April.
Alder Lake scared them badly, lol
