With AMD skipping a generation for desktop and preparing a new motherboard socket for its next-gen Ryzen CPUs, expectations are high for AMD to deliver but timing here is key. Accurate AMD leaker Greymon55, is suggesting that AMD may be begin mass-production of their Zen4-based Ryzen 7000 CPUs on later April going into May. The Ryzen 7000 CPUs will bring with the Zen4 architecture fabbed on the new 5nm node from TSMC.
The packing plant has already prepared all the work and will start mass production next month or early May.

TSMC has been challenged by immense supply issues and with products relying heavily on their strategy to cope with demand, AMD is hinging on them as well to ensure that the Ryzen 7000 launch doesn’t see a significant delay. AMD held out on Ryzen 5000 during 2020 due to global lockdowns but could see a COMPUTEX 2022 announcement for the Ryzen 7000 as it ramps up production.
Ryzen 7000 will require a new socket AM5 motherboard, which will debut alongside the new CPUs. The new boards will support PCIe Gen5 and DDR5 memory as well.
