AMD’s Ryzen 4000 desktop processors are about to go into mass production, according to rumor mill, so they should be on their way for a 2020 release as previously insisted.
This information comes from Igor’s Lab, whose sources believe Ryzen 4000 CPUs have reached ‘step B0’, a technical term for a different revision of a processor, with that silicon likely as the final version, and therefore AMD is ready. to start mass production of finished products.
Naturally, we have to throw a lot of salt in this one, since it’s just a talk from the vine. And even if what sources believe is really true right now, there is always a chance that some sort of last-minute gremlin might trigger a new overhaul.
In other words, don’t get carried away, though it’s hard not to get a little excited at the possibility that Ryzen 4000 desktop processors are about to start coming off the assembly lines.
No pressure?
It is not yet known exactly when these CPUs could launch, but we have heard of the possibility that AMD will reveal the chips in early September. Actually, as to when they could go on sale, it could be October, or even any of the final months of 2020.
With mass production about to start, possibly, the chips could certainly arrive sooner rather than later, although even if the lines get going, AMD doesn’t necessarily feel much pressure to rush Ryzen 4000 towards the door (or at least not the whole range, as some rumors seem to believe that only high-end CPUs could arrive initially.)
After all, existing Ryzen 3000 processors are quite competitive compared to Intel’s latest Comet Lake products, and we’ve actually updated the Ryzen 3000 ‘XT’ models due to their debut soon.
With Intel’s next-generation Rocket Lake CPUs still a long way off, and potentially launching in Q1 or Q2 of 2021, and still Built at 14nm (albeit with new architecture): AMD appears to be very much in the driver’s seat, and sales of desktop products clearly reflect this.
