Gigabyte: mention of Ryzen 7000 successor coming in 2023 in press release was wrong

Gigabyte takes back a recent statement from a press release. The company wrote that AMD would release the successors to its Ryzen 7000 CPUs for socket AM5 later this year, but now says this is a mistake. The company says it does not know when these CPUs will be released.

Gigabyte’s enterprise division, Giga Computing, says in a statement to TechRadar that the wording in his press release ‘was an honest mistake’. The company “does not know when the Ryzen 7000 successor will be released.” The company says it will add a note clarifying the error to its press release, which was published by the manufacturer late last week.

Giga Computing wrote on March 24 about the arrival of new Ryzen CPUs later this year. The company did this in a press release about its new servers based on the AM5 platform. The company wrote that “the AM5 platform will be supported until at least 2025.” “The next generation of AMD Ryzen desktop processors coming later this year will also be supported on this AM5 platform. So customers who purchase these servers today will have the option to upgrade to the successor to the Ryzen 7000 series,” it added company to this. Giga Computing now says that this was an error.

AMD itself previously confirmed a roadmap that its upcoming Zen 5 architecture is planned for 2024. That architecture should be used in future Ryzen desktop processors, codenamed Granite Ridge. Few other details are known about Zen 5 and the Granite Rapids series. AMD says those CPUs are produced on an ‘advanced node’. TSMC produces the current Ryzen 7000 processors on its N5 process.
