Next generation intel or amd cpu release dates??

[Knin3]

Hi guys,

ill be in the market for a new board cpu and memory in 9 weeks time and I was wondering if a new cpu is on the horizon around that time or just after. Last thing I want to do is buy a cpu thats about to be superseded. Im currently looking at the 12900 or similar. Does anyone have some idea if somethingelse is around the corner and does not mind sharing that info with me. Thankyou so much guys

They will be released later this year around Q4.

9 Weeks time puts you roughly into July. There are strong indications that AMD will be announcing the release of AMD and Ryzen 7xxx parts at Computex in May, with the potential release date being as soon as August.

If you were intending to buy 12900 + DDR5 then you are probably best of seeing what happens at Computex, and see the release schedule for AM5 and see if there is any indication of platform costs. I can't see the boards being more expensive that Z690 in like-for-like models, but there may be some variations of lower end chipsets near to launch this time as well.

Last I heard was around September - October for Zen 4 and Raptor Lake (13th gen).

ok thankyou both for the info, ill await the show and see my route then

Thanks

what system do you have?
when was the expected upgrade date?
is the system you have holding you back in a way that costing money/time

The new CPU's are expected Q4 2022 so on the shelfs november / december, depending on supply's how have things been the last 2 years... it could ending up been Q1 2023 that we can buy things.

Sounds like OP wants high-end, but for the mainstream / low-end stuff that's very likely anyway (going by past history). B660/H610 were several months after Z690 and B550 was agggggeeeeeees (though, not sure that kind of delay will be normal in future).

I thought AMD were announcing desktop 6000 series APUs this month to launch in July on AM5 before 7000 series chips arrive later this year

Highly speculative, and mainly rumours given the impact DDR5 pricing would have on the platform cost for what would likely be low end APU's. It's not on trend either for AMD to release a new APU prior to the main parts, and the APU's are based on Zen3, not Zen4. It's a bit of a quandary really, given we don't know if the monolithic parts for the laptops have DDR4 controllers being a Zen3 design, and if the I/O part is totally new or not.

AM4 came out before the first Ryzen processors, using older generation APUs and the laptop 6000 series are ddr5 only, the increased memory bandwidth is needed for the RDNA2 onboard graphics and will be as good as a low end discreet graphics card.

I think you are mistaking what many people do and thinking the socket was available, but it was a lot of lower end APU's in the Pro and Embedded markets, that were out in Q3-4 2016 all A6-A12 APU's, but you could not get a socket on the retail market that supported AM4 until Feb/March '17. The Pro and Embedded parts were tray only, none retail and only available to OEM's. It wasn't also transitioning on to a new memory standard, DDR4 had been around a good while by then.

and the laptop 6000 series are ddr5 only, the increased memory bandwidth is needed for the RDNA2 onboard graphics and will be as good as a low end discreet graphics card.

The bandwidth is also needed for the older Vega parts, they have been memory bandwidth starved since the 2200G. I've used and owned nearly all the 'G' parts and as the IF 1:1 speed increased with the RAM then the performance of the graphics went up too.

So, AM5 parts could come out. What are you going to put them in?

I think £100 AM5 motherboards will be available on launch for Zen 4.

If you want a cheaper Intel board when Intel's 13th gen. launches, you should be able to use current DDR4 LGA1700 boards.
