Arrr, me hearties! Methinks AMD be settin' sail ahead o' Intel's next-gen Arrow Lake processors, arrr! They be takin' the lead in this yer battle on th' high seas o' technology, arrr!
According to rumors, AMD's next-gen Zen 5 processors are already in mass production. This information was revealed by a well-known leaker on X (formerly Twitter), Kepler, in response to a question about the production of these 'Granite Ridge' desktop chips.However, it's important to take this news with a grain of salt, as there is no further elaboration beyond Kepler's one-word answer. Zen 5 processors could potentially be Ryzen 8000 or Ryzen 9000, and they will be supported by current AM5 chipset motherboards.
The fact that Zen 5 processors are in mass production doesn't necessarily mean they will be released soon. Looking back at the Ryzen 7000 CPUs, rumors about mass production started six months ahead of their release. This suggests that Zen 5 CPUs might be released in July or shortly after that, aligning with recent rumors of a Q3 launch timeframe.
AMD has the advantage of breathing room in the battle against Intel's Arrow Lake processors, which are rumored to be released late in 2024. This gives AMD the opportunity to wait until it has enough production and stock before launching Zen 5, avoiding inventory shortages.
All of this information is still theoretical, but it aligns with what has been heard so far. The battle between next-gen chips continues as they strive to dominate the market for the best processors.
