If you’re looking to upgrade to the Ryzen 9000 series, you can be confident that retailers are already receiving stock. One retailer even shared a picture confirming the arrival of the Ryzen 7 9700X. However, the Redditor who posted the photos didn’t provide additional information, like the arrival of other models or the end date of the sales embargo.
The Ryzen 7 9700X is an 8-core Zen5 processor that supports boost up to 5.5 GHz. AMD has acknowledged that this processor might be slower than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which is their most popular gaming CPU featuring 3D V-Cache. There were discussions about AMD potentially increasing the TDP for this processor before its release, but with samples already sent to reviewers and retailers, this change now seems improbable.
AMD has not officially announced the release date for the Ryzen 9000 series. However, unofficial sources, including other retailers and insiders, indicate it might be on July 31. The pricing for the new Zen5-based series has also not been revealed yet, which continues to be a highly anticipated and talked-about topic.
