AMD Ryzen 7000: a 15-day delay but for what?

For the moment there is no real explanation for this delay of almost 2 weeks. Since AMD will have presented its new CPUs and its price list by then, it is difficult to explain what the reds are trying to do. For the record, Intel and AMD should release their new processors for this end of 2022, focusing only on the high-end. Intel should renew the same policy as with Alder Lake, starting with its K processors for the end of the year, while AMD should be satisfied with 4 to 5 references as we have mentioned several times, namely :

  • Ryzen 9 7950X (16 cores / 32 threads )
  • Ryzen 9 7900X (12 cores / 24 threads )
  • Ryzen 7 7700X (8 cores / 16 threads )
  • Ryzen 5 7600X (6 cores / 12 threads )

A 7800X is also mentioned but many questions remain about its characteristics. Recently it was mentioned a 10 cores / 20 threads. The latest rumors suggest that Intel could continue to have the upper hand on AMD with its Raptor Lake. The first tests of the Zen 4 should quickly bring us a first light.
