In contrast to prior reports of an AMD Ryzen 7000 and 600-series motherboard launch on September 15 (which AMD confirmed during an internal meeting with partners and motherboard makers), the company could introduce its new desktop series two weeks later on September 27.
Videocardz manetions AMD informed its partners last week of a probable 2-week launch delay. MyDrivers claims the exact date, which coincides with Intel's Innovation event, citing their own sources. Intel is expected to unveil its 13th Generation Raptor Lake-S desktop range at Innovation. The hard launch date set by AMD denotes product availability. On September 27, neither AMD nor Intel have confirmed a product launch or announcement. The site still cites August 29/30 as the Ryzen 7000 series launch date, so it's possible that nothing has changed.
