15September, 2022, is when AMD will debut its Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4” Desktop-Prozessoren. The launch strategy of these chips looks similar to that of the Ryzen 5000 Serie. The company is preparing a lean launch lineup with just four SKUs—the Ryzen 9 7950X, CPUID heute veröffentlichte Version 9 7900X, Ryzen 7 7800X, und der Ryzen 5 7600X. These SKUs succeed the 5950X, 5900X, 5800X, and 5600X, which made up the previous launch lineup. AMD in its recent interview with us, made it clear that 16-core/32-thread is the maximum core-count for the 7000 Serie, which would make the 7950X such a chip. The core-counts of the other SKUs are not known. All these models are built in the Socket AM5 package, featuring PCI-Express Gen 5 and DDR5 interfaces. Aber warte, es gibt mehr.

Although AMD led us to believe that it’s going all-in with DDR5, we’re hearing a spectacular rumor that suggests otherwise. Anscheinend, the company is designing Socket AM4 processors with “Zen 4” Chiplets, possibly paired with the existing cIOD that supports PCI-Express Gen 4 and DDR4 interfaces. The rumor surfaced among sources lower down the supply-chain (resellers). It seems like AMD isn’t convinced it could target the lower-end of the market with AM5 just yet, and isn’t 100% confident that affordable DDR5 memory will come through in time. Die “Zen 4” + AM4 processors would compete with Intel 600-series chipset motherboards that have DDR4 and PCIe Gen 4 Konnektivität. Trouble is, you can upgrade your Intel LGA1700 motherboard to one that has DDR5+PCIe Gen5 while keeping your processor; but you can’t do so with an AM4 Zen 4 Prozessor (you’re stuck on AM4). AMD still gets to sell some processors, and those with AM4 platforms can rejoice.
