Just 8 hours before the actual announcement, we now have the leaked release dates for these CPUs. Initially, AMD planned to launch its Zen4 lineup on the 15th of September. However, citing BIOS-related issues, this date was pushed back to to the end of September.
The New Release Date
Wccftech once again from one of its sources claims that AMD’s Ryzen 7000 CPUs will hit the shelves by the 15th of September. Only the motherboards suffering from the BIOS issues shall be delayed by no more than 2 weeks. Essentially, Zen4’s arrival will be divided into 3 segments.
Ryzen 7000 CPUs Launch Date – 15th September, 2022AM5 X670 Motherboard(s) Lauch Date – 27th September, 2022AM5 B650 Motherboard(s) Launch Date – 10th October, 2022

A Major Hurdle
This is massive if true. Basically, we get to witness the full power of Zen4 two weeks earlier. But…..How in the world are we supposed to use the CPU without the supporting motherboard? Maybe AMD wants us to have a good look at the chip before we place it in the motherboard. I mean, how often do we see our CPU after placing it inside the motherboard? The only way to verify such claims is to wait for team red’s live stream.
