AMD Ryzen 7000-Series Likely to Launch On or Before the 4th of August
Courtesy of Planet 3DNow! we now have an idea when AMD might be launching the Ryzen 7000-series of CPU's, as the site posted about an upcoming AMD event called Meet the Experts on Twitter. The event registration page reads "Supporting the recent launch of AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors," which suggests that the new Ryzen 7000-series is likely to launch on or before the 4th of August. The event takes place at 11:00 in the morning, CDT (Central Daylight Time) or 16:00 UTC.
The event will showcase motherboards from AMD's partners and representatives from ASRock, ASUS, Biostar, Gigabyte and MSI will be attending the online event. There's still no mention of the B650E chipset, but apparently X670E and X670 products will be shown, but not even B650 at this point. Based on the short summary blurb, we're also likely to see a PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD being shown off. AMD will obviously have a separate launch event for the Ryzen 7000-series, but if that will take place on the same day, or on a different date, is unknown at this point.

Yes, this specific event is about motherboards, but the text suggests that the CPUs will already have launched ahead of the event.
If they have good stock at the launch then we'll know it was always planned to launch then, but if it's a low stock or paper launch you'd be a fool to buy the AMD products before the Raptor Lake launch.
Maybe it's just going to be an announcement of the announcement of the launch though since AMD seems to like doing that.
Intel must be worried about so many delays on their side.
I'm solidly in this last bracket, if the i9-13900KS is a solid enough upgrade over my 5950X, I might as well sell my processor and motherboard and buy one of those alongside a DDR4 motherboard, and I know even which one I want already (and that is the Biostar Valkyrie).
Can't wait for gaming benchmarks. :cool:"Supporting the recent launch of AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors," which means the CPU's would have to be already out by then (4th of August). ;)
Using DDR4 won't be a big advantage if it leads to double-digit performance degradation. But of course, these are just rumors, the tests will show the reality.

There have not even been any retail box leaks or proper final silicon leaks. Either AMD has done a great job keeping final specs under wraps, the launch is not imminent or it's a pure paper launch.
Besides there is only one upcoming event where they could do a paper launch and thats Q2 2022 Earnings Call on August 2nd. A weird place to launch new series: ir.amd.com/news-events/ir-calendar/detail/6872/q2-2022-amd-earnings-call
And no, it's hardly a typo, but it's possible AMD saw Computex as the "launch" somehow, which makes no sense.
Also, why is that the ONLY time they could launch it? A product launch can be any time a company wants to.
I don't see any of these signs yet. So im highly skeptical.

Unless there are drastic changes in Raptor Lake, it's safe to assume that this will hold, perhaps w1zz will do a re-run of that test suite with the 13900K once it's out.
I think the lithography can take the increased clock speeds, and I'm sure that the architectural refinements will take that into account, of course with high TDPs but anyone buying a KS doesn't really have the right to complain about TDP to begin with :P
Still as it stands, it's like I said, anyone that wants to keep their high-end DDR4 kit currently only has one upgrade path. Thankfully it's very comfy with the 5950X so I can afford to skip the whole generation if it needs be :)
You just expect leaks because we're talking CPUs here. Maybe AMD has managed to put the lid on things this time.
I don't expect this to be the retail launch though, as retail availability is still September.
a) Stock, since TSMC over booking(?) its capacity seems to be a thing of the past now?
b) Expected global economic meltdown ~ get/milk them while they're hot :pimp:Come on, if someone internally from the major AIB's wanted to leak they would've had the info! It's just that consequences would be pretty bad for that company.
I don't think even the so-called experts can precisely predict a few months from now.
