AMD may release its Ryzen 7000 desktop processors on September 15. Wccftech writes this based on its own sources. The Zen 4 processors would be announced on August 30.

AMD loves according to Wccftech sources a product event for its upcoming desktop processors on August 30 at 2 a.m. GMT. The company would unveil its Ryzen 7000 lineup there and focus on the specs and prices of the CPUs. At the same time, the first AM5 motherboards would be announced. An actual release should follow two weeks later. The review embargo expires on September 13 at 3 p.m. GMT, according to Wccftech sources, with the processors expected to be released two days later.

Details about the upcoming Ryzen 7000 series have already surfaced. AMD previously confirmed that the processors use a new Zen 4 architecture on an AM5 platform with an LGA socket. The processors are expected to receive up to two CPU chiplets again, which will be produced on TSMC’s N5 node. The processors also all get an integrated RDNA2 GPU and support for PCIe 5.0 and DDR5. AMD further claims that Zen 4 is good for IPC improvements of up to ten percent.

AMD is expected to come first with four Ryzen 7000 processors. A few model names were recently listed on the AMD website: a Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 7900X, Ryzen 7 7700X and Ryzen 5 7600X. It was previously expected that AMD would also come with a Ryzen 7 7800X, but it was not listed on the chip designer’s website.
