AMD Ryzen 7000 Series Release Date, Specifications and all what we know

After the release of the ZEN based Ryzen CPUs, AMD finally started to compete with the rival Intel's CPUs in every budget and due to lesser power consumption and less costly these Ryzen CPUs started to compete with Intel and even dominate the budget market.

AMD has launched Ryzen 1000, 2000, 3000 and 5000 series desktop CPUs based on the Zen, ZEN +, Zen 2, Zen 3 micro-architecture respectively. This time too there are leaks that AMD will be skipping the 6000 series (there will 6000 series mobile CPUs though) and directly launching 7000 series CPUs based on Zen 4 micro-architecture.

Release Date and Price

We exactly don't know when will these CPUs launch but what we know is that they might be here around the last quarter of 2022 or even the beginning of 2023. For the price no one is sure as due to the chip shortage the prices will be higher for $10-$30/3000INR-5000INR just like the Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 series CPUs.  

The price might be cheaper or even more as the company has not announced anything yet.

Specifications

These CPUs will be build on the new upcoming Zen 4 micro-architecture just like the new mobile Ryzen 6000 series CPUs which were announced during the CES 2022 and will be processed on 5nm process which will be more power efficient than the previous 7nm process of Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series CPU.

Along with this these CPUs will have support for faster DDR5 memory like Intel 12th gen Alder Lake CPUs and PCIe gen 5, having support of faster SSDs and making your PC access more faster than previous generations. Also with this generation AMD will be moving to new AM5 mother-board socket but you can use your older AMD cooler with them.

Performance  

Some reported AMD Ryzen Zen 4 CPU benchmarks and leaks suggest that they could offer upto 40% increase in overall performance compared to the previous Zen 3 CPUs but there are no proper evidence or benchmarks so our only way to find this is by looking at performance boost in last generations of Ryzen CPUs and there will be atleast 20% or more increase in performance compared to Zen 3 CPUs.

The higher end Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 CPUs might have more TDP upto 150W and more L3 cache(might be) and since the support of faster DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen 5, the overall experience would be lot faster than before but the DDR5 motherboards would be more expensive than now just like Intel Alder Lake CPUs.
