According to DigiTimes, AMD is expected to launch its next-generation Ryzen 7000 desktop CPUs based on the 5nm Zen 4 architecture and corresponding AM5 platform as early as September 2022.
AMD Ryzen 7000 desktop CPUs with next-gen Zen 4-core and AM5 platforms to launch as early as September 2022
The AMD Ryzen 7000 desktop CPU and AM5 platform is highly anticipated by many as it is a new ecosystem designed for the next generation of gamers and content creators. AMD Ryzen 7000 desktop CPUs will first bring the company’s new Zen 4 core technology based on the 5nm process node to gamers, and will also deploy the new AM5 platform, which offers a range of new features such as DDR5 and PCIe Gen 5.0 support and more . other technologies.
According to DigiTimes industry sources, AMD expects to launch its next-generation Ryzen 7000 desktop CPUs and AM5 platform as early as September 2022. That means the launch could happen within the next four months, but with that said, AMD is also expected to reveal more details at Computex 2022, which will be the main Zen 4 showcase event.
AMD Ryzen ‘Zen 4’ Desktop CPU Expected Features:
- New Zen 4 CPU cores (IPC/architectural improvements)
- New TSMC 5nm process node, 6nm IOD
- Supports AM5 platform with LGA1718 socket
- Dual-channel DDR5 memory support
- 28 PCIe lanes (CPU dedicated)
- 65-120W TDP (upper range ~170W)
Not only do we want more details on performance, but we also want AMD to share a more detailed demo and get a better understanding of its AM5 platform. So much so that the company has given board partners the green light to show off their first AM5 products in the showroom (albeit in a prototype stage). Sadly, with all the pandemic restrictions and regulations, we’ve decided not to visit Computex this year, otherwise we’ll give you a hands-on look at these next-gen motherboards.

We also managed to get some new details about the AMD AM5 platform, which will consist of the new LGA 1718 socket motherboard. It looks like the motherboard will be revealed after the AMD Computex keynote, and we’re also expecting to see a slightly upgraded version of the top-of-the-line X670 chipset, currently known as the X670E. We don’t know the exact details of this chipset, but don’t worry, they’re based on a chiplet design. Having said that, the actual launch event will take place in a few months, when AMD will announce the actual Ryzen 7000 CPUs and their prices. It looks like an event close to Gamescom 2022 makes a lot of sense, but for now, we’re looking forward to AMD’s big reveal at Computex 2022.
