Description:
Those four being the first to hit shelves would be no surprise but lets hope the 7700X doesnt take an age to arrive.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

AMDs next-gen processors will be spearheaded by four Ryzen 7000 CPUs, going
by the latest from the grapevine.

The contention from one of the better-known Twitter hardware rumor pedlars
out there, Greymon55, is that AMD is planning to initially launch the Ryzen 7950X, 7900X, 7800X and 7600X, with other models to follow later. 7950X7900X7800X7600X7700X is still not in the first lineup. June 17, 2022 See more

The leaker further notes that the 7700X will not be in the initial batch of Zen 4 CPUs which hit the shelves. Take this with the usual sense of
skepticism around any rumor.

Theres another Zen 4 leak floating around this morning, too, and this claims that the launch date for Ryzen 7000 processors is going to be September 15. Specifically, this consists of an image which purportedly shows an AMD presentation over in China where that date is displayed on a slide but we have serious doubts about whether this is genuine.

Particularly as it comes from a tweet delivered by an unknown source (and we cant verify what the text says anyway, but there have certainly been doubts raised by other Twitter denizens). Analysis: Lets hope theres no big delay
for the 7700X

Its safest to discard the September 15 launch date as a piece of fakery, and although we dont know that for sure, we certainly wouldnt put any stock in it
at all for now.

That said, it does align with what weve already heard on the grapevine,
namely that Ryzen 7000 CPUs will launch in September, a rumor that has popped up several times in fact so dont rule this possibility out, by any means. Right now, that month does seem the most likely launch timeframe for AMDs next-gen Ryzen processors.

It would be no surprise if the above four mentioned models were the first out of the gate, either mainly because this is exactly what happened with the current Ryzen 5000 chips . We saw the 5950X, 5900X, 5800X and 5600X emerge first in November 2020, and as you may recall, the 5700X didnt arrive until much later not until a couple of months ago , in fact.

Lets hope the wait is nothing like as lengthy for the 7700X, and we wouldnt imagine that it will be, given that production issues and supply chain
worries are currently easing (and the situation is predicted to further improve as 2022 rolls on, fingers crossed that nothing changes in this respect).

The 5700X/7700X CPU is an important part of the Ryzen range because its an 8-core (16-thread) chip just like the 5800X/7800X, but the former offers a more affordable option compared to the latter. In that respect, its the best value proposition for a lot of folks who want an 8-core processor rather than a 6-core model (and of course hexa-core is starting to look less and less future-proof as time goes on).
