With Ryzen 7000, AMD accidentally introduced its new series of processors. With AM5 there is a new socket, as well as support for DDR5 and PCIe 5.0. MeinMMO provides you with all the information about the new series and explains what you need to know about the release of Ryzen 7000. What is Ryzen 7000?
AMD has presented its latest processor series under the name “Raphael” with Ryzen 7000. This followed the previous 5000 series, but represents a completely different architecture. With Ryzen 7000 you get a lot of new features and improvements that you won’t get with Ryzen 5000.
The most important thing about Ryzen 7000 in brief:
Ryzen 7000 Release – When will AMD’s new CPU series appear?
Is there a release date yet? No, there is no official release date yet when Ryzen 7000 will officially be available in stores.
Nevertheless, there are already rumors that the Ryzen 7000 will be released on September 15, 2022 (via hardwareluxx.de). At least that’s what a Chinese source reports about a dealer meeting. Other sources report that “Raphael” should be released in the third quarter of 2022.
AMD has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors surrounding the release.
Ryzen 7000 Price – What will the new processors cost?
What will the new processors cost? AMD has not yet announced any official prices for the new “Raphael” processors. However, there are already some rumors that the “Ryzen 7000” CPUs will cost 50-100 euros more than the current generation. This is reported by the online magazine (wccftech.com).
Nevertheless, both Intel with its future “Raptor Lake” processors (i-13000) and the in-house competition (Ryzen 5000) should play a role here, where AMD sets the prices for the new generation.
Ryzen 7000 – A new socket is coming with AM5, what does that mean?
What does new socket mean? If you want to install a processor on your mainboard, you put the CPU on a suitable socket. Only certain processors fit on a socket. All previous Ryzen desktop processors fit on the same socket AM4.
With Ryzen 7000, however, AMD is delivering a new socket for AM5. First of all, this means that your previous Ryzen CPU no longer fits on the socket, but you cannot put a new CPU on your old mainboard the other way around either.
What brings AM5? AM5 comes with a lot of new features and functions that you can only use with the new chipset. These include PCIe 5.0 or DDR5 RAM. With AM5, AMD will also rely on a new design for the mainboard chipsets, namely the B650, X670 and X670E.
Can I continue to use my old mainboard? If you want to buy a Ryzen 7000 processor, according to current information you cannot avoid a new motherboard.
