Increasingly data has began to floor as we method the rumored September 15 launch date for AMD’s Ryzen 7000 (Raphael) processors. Information outlet VideoCardz (opens in new tab) has reportedly acquired a render of the packaging and pricing for the next-generation Zen 4 chips. Though the publication has stable sources, throwing a pinch of salt over the leaked pricing is wholesome.
The premium packaging allegedly pertains to AMD’s high-end Ryzen 9 SKUs, particularly the Ryzen 9 7950X and Ryzen 9 7900X. It is protected to imagine that the Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 chips may have completely different packaging. Versus the present packaging, the brand new Ryzen 9 field seems to function a full-black theme with orange highlights and white textual content. AMD has inverted the colours for the Zen brand. The circle now is available in a black tone as a substitute of an orange shade. As anticipated, there is a small cut-out on the field that in all probability permits the patron to see the mannequin of the chip.
The alleged pricing is the juiciest a part of VideoCardz’s anonymously obtained details about Ryzen 7000. Sadly, the supply did not reveal the precise pricing for AMD’s forthcoming Zen 4 lineup, so there may be nonetheless some ambiguity. As an alternative, the individual used the present Ryzen 5000‘s MSRP as some extent of comparability. We assume the leak refers back to the MSRP at launch and never the present pricing since AMD has issued important worth cuts for Ryzen 5000 since then.

The leak talks a couple of Ryzen 7 7800X, an SKU which hasn’t emerged within the rumor mill. VideoCardz’s supply claims that the Ryzen 7 7800X is on AMD’s plan. If we chipmaker decides to launch the Ryzen 7 7800X, the octa-core Zen 4 chip will hit the cabinets for over $449.
It will seem that the Ryzen 7 7700X can be the one Zen 4 processor to retain the identical price ticket as its predecessor, the Ryzen 7 5700X ($299). In the meantime, the value tag for the Ryzen 7 7600X, the direct substitute for the Ryzen 5 5600X ($299), stays a thriller.
Nobody expects AMD’s Ryzen 7000 processors to come back low-cost. Whereas Zen 3 is on TSMC’s 7nm node, Zen 4 jumps to the foundry’s 5nm course of node, which is dearer to provide. In response to tough estimates, a single 300mm wafer constructed on the 5nm node prices round $16,988, whereas the identical 300mm wafer on the 7nm node is roughly round $9,346.
If the leaked pricing is considerably real, the Ryzen 7 7700X can be a fascinating octa-core possibility as it could provide extra firepower than the Ryzen 5 5600X however prices the identical because the hexa-core Zen 3 half when it first got here out. Nonetheless, if the Ryzen 7 7700X does find yourself debuting for below $300, the Ryzen 5 7600X might launch at $250 and be the winner for price range players.
