IT House April 10 news, according to Greymon55, AMD 5nm Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 'Raphael' CPU will enter mass production earlier than expected.
Last month, news broke that AMD's Ryzen™ 7000 'Raphael' CPU was scheduled to enter mass production in April or May. The latest news from Greymon55 is that the chips will enter mass production later this month, which means earlier than expected.

Greymon55 also successfully leaked the AMD roadmap to confirm some of AMD's product plans. He said AMD's chip packaging plant is ready and is expected to carry out mass production in the near future. He also previously said that the Ryzen 7000 series processors will be released in the third quarter, and AM5 motherboard test samples will be produced soon.
The AMD Ryzen 7000 series is expected to feature up to 16 cores in a 5 nm Zen4 microarchitecture design with the new AM5 LGA slot cod. AMD intends to provide multi-year support for its new slots and will also be compatible with AM4 heatsinks, and the new platform is expected to support the latest DDR5 memory as well as the PCIe 5 standard.
Whistleblower KOMACHI_ENSAKA previously said that the AMD Ryzen™ 7000 series desktop processor uses the latest RDNA2 architecture, has 4 CUs, that is, 256 stream processors, the frequency is only 1.1GHz, and the single-precision computing performance is about 0.5 TFLOPs. For comparison, AMD's just-released Ryzen™ 6000 mobile processor is equipped with up to 12CU and a frequency of up to 2.4GHz.
IT Home learned that at CES in January this year, AMD officially announced the Ryzen™ 7000 processor.

To complement the Ryzen™s "Zen 4" architecture processors, AMD will also bring the new AMD Socket AM5 socket to market.
AMD CEO Su Zifeng confirmed that the Ryzen™ 7000 can achieve a full-core 5.0GHz, which means that its single-core maximum frequency will exceed 5GHz. AMD also confirmed that the new Ryzen™ 7000 desktop processor will feature an LGA1718 interface.
According to the news, the high-end model of the AMD Ryzen™ 7000 is still 12-core and 16-core specifications, of which the TDP of the 12-core model is still 105W, but the 16-core flagship model TDP reaches 170W.
