While AMD confirmed<\/a> that it will be officially launching its Ryzen 7000 “Raphael” Desktop CPUs this quarter, we have managed to get the final announcement, review and launch dates from our own sources which confirm that the official retail launch for the Zen 4 CPU family & X670 motherboards will take place in September.<\/p>\n

AMD Ryzen 7000 “Raphael” Desktop CPUs & X670 Motherboards Officially Launching On 15th September<\/h2>\n

Based on the information we have, it looks like AMD will be hosting a product announcement event later this month which will focus on the specifications and prices of its Ryzen 7000 “Raphael” lineup and will also allow motherboard manufacturers to reveal the preliminary prices of their boards. As far as this event is concerned, it will take place on 29th August but you won’t get to purchase Ryzen 7000 CPUs until two weeks later.<\/p>\n

The embargo on the AMD Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs & X670 motherboards reviews will lift two weeks later on 13th September followed by a full retail launch for the said products on 15th of September. To sum up the dates:<\/p>\n

      AMD’s first wave of 600-series motherboards would focus on the higher-end X670E & X670 designs followed by B650E & B650 products a few weeks later (around October\/November). The new CPUs will feature a brand new Zen 4 core architecture which is expected to deliver up to 8% IPC, >15% ST (Single-Threaded), and >35% MT (Multi-Threaded) performance improvement over the Zen 3 cores . Additionally, AMD is going bonkers with the clock speeds on their next-gen CPUs with up to 5.8 GHz frequency limits, 170W TDPs and 230W PPT. Plus, the platform itself will be outfitted with the latest technologies such as PCIe Gen 5.0 slots, Gen 5.0 M.2 support, DDR5 memory support (EXPO), and a new SAS (Smart Access Storage) Firmware suite that runs on the DirectStorage API framework<\/p>\n
