Zen 4 server CPUs to launch end of 2022, Zen 4 desktop CPUs Q1/Q2 2023?

I kinda think some people are reading a lot into this one interview. It certainly looks like an intention to release some Zen 4 products in 2022, but nothing more. It's obvious that some of you really want Zen 4 desktop CPUs to release in 2022, I'm not trying to wind you up by suggesting that they might not

Also, the guy mentions a new platform in 2022, not new CPUs, so his words can be interpreted in more than 1 way. The conversation they are having is all about platforms and new technologies, some Ryzen series history and the end of socket AM4 usage, beyond 2022.

It should probably be pointed out that both men are responsible either for technical marketing at AMD or marketing more generally. They are speaking quite generally, and don't go into the specific features of planned CPUs (except for V-Cache).

I think confirmation of the details is needed before drawing a conclusion, specifically whether desktop Zen 4 CPUs will launch in 2022, or 2023. They've been clear with Zen 4 servers, so maybe there will an announcement for other Zen 4 products in the next few months.

There are some tech review websites suggesting Zen 4 desktop CPU could launch in late 2022, or early 2023, so I'm not the only one

Also, what does it matter to AMD, if they launch Zen 4 desktop CPUs in Q4 2022, or Q1 2023?

Looks like quite a lot of this thread got deleted at some point (can't think why!).
Will be interesting to see what's announced on the 4th Jan.

I've only heard some rumours that Meteor Lake might be for mobile devices only, with 'Arrow Lake' being the desktop counterpart (on 7nm EUV, but possibly a refined version). I'm not sure why that matters (if it's even true), as the core architecture is probably very similar, but people do like to have their codenames

Zen4 wouldn’t be announced on the 4th, well not publicly anyway lol.

Intel are set to announce something big on the 5th.
