Production of the Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors based on the Zen 4 core may have started. AMD is expected to release new processors before the end of the summer. Having achieved a significant rise in the processor market with the Ryzen series, which is brought to life by Zen cores, AMD is getting ready to step up this year. The answer to Intel's Raptor Lake move may come sooner.

 Industry sources state that the Ryzen 7000 desktop processors, which will be based on the Zen 4 architecture, will begin volume production in April. Thus, the possibility of pulling the release date, which is estimated to be September 22, even earlier, appears. Earlier, it was claimed that the production would start in April or May at the latest. While the Zen 4 architecture in the 5nm process offers significant performance gains, there may be some disappointment on the efficiency side. The information that comes to the agenda will be 170W TDP value at the peak level. It is also stated that liquid cooling will be required at this level.

 Ryzen 9 7950X with 16 cores and 32 threads will probably be at the top level. Then there are the Ryzen 7 7850X claims with 12 cores and 24 threads. This one has a TDP of 105W. Together with the Ryzen 7 7800X processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, these 3 models appeared in databases from time to time. 1MB Level 2 cache for each core is also among the leaked information.
