AMD has reaffirmed its previous timeline for releasing CPUs based on its next-generation Zen 5 architecture. During the company’s Q4 2023 earnings call, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su stated that Ryzen 9000 series (or 8000 series) Zen 5 products for both servers and consumer PCs remain on track for launch in the second half of 2024.
This puts to rest speculation that AMD might accelerate the rollout of Zen 5 in response to Intel’s upcoming Arrow Lake desktop chips. While no exact launch date was provided, the busy holiday shopping period in late 2024 is likely.
