It would appear as if AMD has seemingly (and not purposely) given us some lights as to when their hotly anticipated Ryzen chips will hit the wild - and some of our wallets. While they haven't specifically given an exact date, the talk to be given by AMD at the annual Game Developer Conference (GDC) reads: "Join AMD Game Engineering team members for an introduction to the recently-launched AMD Ryzen CPU followed by advanced optimization topics". The "recently-launched tidbit is the most important, since it places Ryzen's launch necessarily before the end of GDC - which will happen between February 27th and March 3rd. AMD has, in the meantime, altered the original headline by cutting the "recently launched" tidbit altogether.
It would seem that GDC wouldn't be the best stage from where to announce AMD's upcoming star - they surely would want it to be a star of its own show, instead of competing for attention with all the news, events and announcements that are bound to come out during both GDC and the Mobile World Congress, which happens at the same week. As such, I believe we should take March 3rd as the end-date at which Ryzen has already been effectively launched, though I would expect AMD to host its own event even before February 27th. And with AMD's own Jim Anderson, senior vice president and general manager of AMD's Computing and Graphics business, saying that AMD is done with paper launches, that would mean retail availability for AMD's Ryzen processors before that February 27th date.
