Are you an AMD fan eagerly waiting for 5nm-based Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 processors codenamed Raphael’s estimated launch period? Well, there is some good news for you as the well-known Twitter tipster Greymon55, who is pretty accurate with AMD leaks, has claimed that these new CPUs will enter mass production soon.

This absolutely makes sense as AMD wants to hit back at Intel which is already reclaiming its market share slowly and steadily with 12th Gen SKUs. This will be crucial for AMD as Zen 4 will set the benchmark to compete not against 12th Gen Intel CPUs but essentially 13th Gen Raptor Lake as the Red team has waited almost 2 years since the Ryzen 5000 series launch.

Obviously, bringing 5nm based chips in mass quantities won’t be an easy job and which is the reason why it took so long for AMD but if this leak is true, you can rest be assured that the launch seems imminent. Yes, still it would take a few more months for AMD to actually announce these processors into the market but there is hope.

The tipster even went on to say that the packaging work of these processors is ready to start as soon as the mass production begins next month or from early May onwards.

When it took around 4 months of mass production before AMD announced the Vermeer or Ryzen 5000 series processors to the market. So, you can either expect a launch time slated towards July or AMD could launch in October as it did previously with Ryzen 5000 series, however, a Computex launch along with availability in September or October seems most likely.

AMD Ryzen 7000 ‘Zen 4’ Desktop CPU Expected Features:

Brand New Zen 4 CPU Cores (IPC / Architectural Improvements)
Brand New TSMC 5nm process node with 6nm IOD
Support on AM5 Platform With LGA1718 Socket
Dual-Channel DDR5 Memory Support
AMD RAMP (Ryzen Accelerated Memory Profile) Support
28 PCIe Lanes (CPU Exclusive)
105-120W TDPs (Upper Bound Range ~170W)

The Raphael Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs are also likely to include RDNA 2 onboard graphics, adopting a new AM5 platform that uses LGA 1718 socket. With time, we will get more info on the launch, availability, performance and pricing of these upcoming AMD Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 Raphael processors for sure, till then, stay tuned!
