AMD to launch Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 7 5800X on October 20th?

AMD Ryzen 5000 “Vermeer”

Yuri Bubliy the creator of ClockTuner for Ryzen has suggested on Twitter that AMD would launch its Ryzen 5000 series processors on October 20th. The first wave would feature two high-end CPUs from Ryzen 9 and Ryzen 7 series. It is worth noting that Yuri is not sure about the date is accurate, although it was previously reported and the plans have likely not changed.

The full lineup featuring four SKUS: 5950X, 5900X, 5800X, and 5600X has been also published by Uniko’s Hardware on Twitter (update: they removed the tweet). Yesterday we reported on the first benchmark result of the 8-core Ryzen 7 5800X CPU.

The 5900X and 5800X processors would therefore launch 12 days after the announcement, which is officially taking place on October 8th. AMD is set to officially introduce Ryzen 5000 series, skipping the 4000 series for desktop processors (that’s not including APUs).

The mid-range part aka Ryzen 5 5600X and flagship (likely to be a 16-core model) Ryzen 9 5950X are likely to launch later.

In his tweet, Yuri also mentions Radeon RX 6000 series expected mid-November. This would align with our predictions that AMD would seed samples to reviewers shortly after the announcement on October 28th.

Update: ComputerBase also received information that AMD might launch the Zen3 series either on October 20th or 27th:

In addition to Twitter reports , ComputerBase received similar information, which promised a date for October 20 and 27, respectively.
