AMD, Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 and AM5 Platform Announcement

We suppose everybody knows that when AMD will announce the Ryzen 7000 ‘’Zen 4’’ desktop CPU series and AM5 mainboard platform. According to the official NDA, AMD has announced that they will be holding an event between August 23 and 28. Additionally, AMD plans to make a statement regarding all the details of the Ryzen 7000 at 8 PM ET on August 29.

According to the information we have, AMD will focus on the features and prices of the Ryzen 7000 “Raphael” series later this month. Furthermore, AMD will allow mainboard manufacturers to reveal their pre-sale prices. Hence, this event seems to host some kind of product announcement event. However, although the event will take place on August 29, Ryzen 7000 CPUs will not be available for purchasing until two weeks later.

The embargo on AMD Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs and X670 motherboard reviews will be removed two weeks later, on September 13. A full retail launching will then be made for the aforementioned products on September 15.

Briefly, we can summarize the important dates as follows.

• Product announcement: Aug 29, 2022 20:00 ET / Aug 30, 2022 02:00 CET / 08:00 TW
• Press embargo: September 13, 2022, 09:00 ET / 15:00 CET / 21:00 TW
