According to information from the leaker Greymon55, whose leak history has proven reliable in recent months, the AMD Ryzen 7000 family of processors could hit the market sooner than expected. The chips have already been confirmed to debut this year, bringing a big jump in performance and several new features, and until then they were being expected for the last quarter of the year, the same debut window as the Ryzen 5000.
Ryzen 7000 line may arrive sooner than expected
The insider posted on Twitter that the Zen 4 chips from the Ryzen 7000 “Raphael” family would no longer be released in Q4, as previously speculated, and began to clarify the information with several interesting details. The processors would not have been postponed, but advanced, now gaining a debut window for the third quarter, between the months of July and September.
By the way, this month or so.

more than that, Greymon55 suggests that 600-series motherboards, with the new AM5 socket, would already be at a fairly advanced stage of development, with mass production expected to start later this month, or early March. With this, the leaker indicates that the detailed announcement of the new CPUs may take place as early as May, during Computex 2022.

The post also provides information about other products that could have suffered from AMD’s schedule change, including desktop versions of the Ryzen 6000 “Rembrandt” chips, equipped with an integrated RDNA 2 GPU, and the Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards with microarchitecture. rDNA 3.

It seems that Rembrandt APUs could take over the deadline previously occupied by Raphael chips, arriving between the third and fourth quarter, while Radeon GPUs would have the deadline modified, although it is not known for when.
Chips will bring Zen 4 cores and DDR5 RAM
Bringing together the details already leaked with the official information released by AMD during CES 2022, the Ryzen 7000 processors will mark a new phase for the company’s CPU family, bringing numerous new features along with the long-awaited Zen 4 microarchitecture. TSMC, which should provide significant efficiency gains, it is already known that CPUs will easily reach 5.0 GHz clocks, even in heavy tasks such as games.
Also confirmed is the first change in socket since the conception of the Ryzen line, with the arrival of the AM5, which takes the CPU pins to the motherboard and provides technologies such as support for DDR5 memories, with a new automatic overclocking technology called RAMP (Ryzen Accelerated Memory Profile), and a new PCIe 5.0 bus, until then only available on Intel’s Alder Lake chips.
The notebook segment would be another beneficiary of the improvements of Zen 4 cores, this time being able to receive models coming directly from desktops in a series known so far as “Raphael-H”, equipped with solutions with up to 16 cores and 32 threads. Furthermore, some of the rumors still indicate massive 25% gains in instructions per clock (IPC), and adoption of integrated RDNA 2 GPUs across the board, points still unconfirmed, however.
