AMD is expected to unveil its next-gen Ryzen 7000 processors at an event on August 5, and that could spell trouble for its old rival Intel.
As TweakTown reports (opens in new tab)AMD has announced an upcoming event “Exclusive Look at Partner Products: A Showcase of The New AM5 Motherboards” that will focus on the “launch of AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors, the new AMD AM5 chipset offers high performance at Play and create, and intense arithmetic.”
Besides showcasing upcoming CPUs, it looks like the event will also look at upcoming motherboards from ASRock, Gigabyte, MSI, and Biostar. These come with the new AM5 socket, which can get the most out of the new Ryzen 7000 chips alongside DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 support.
The fight goes on
While Intel is still the dominant force in the CPU market, AMD has gained recognition — and market share — with its recent Ryzen processors.
So we’re excited to see what the Ryzen 7000 series processors bring. Not just for the performance gains it will bring to our PCs, but also to see how Intel reacts to it.
Intel is also preparing to launch its Raptor Lake line of processors around the same time, which will pit the two old rivals against each other. While Intel is firmly in first place, AMD has had a lot of momentum and has taken away its competitor’s market share.
Intel is obviously aware of this, so there’s a lot of pressure on its Raptor Lake CPUs to really blow our minds. From the rumors we’ve seen so far, it looks like that might indeed be the case. With both Intel and AMD having major CPU releases this year, it’s an exciting time for people looking to upgrade their PC or build a new one.
