AMD's Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" CPU and the respective AM5 level don't look to beryllium going done a creaseless motorboat plan. Several rumors person sprung up anterior to the 29th August unveil which authorities the chips mightiness look a abbreviated delay.

AMD Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" Desktop CPUs & AM5 Platform Faces Delay As BIOS Issues Mount Up

While AMD has confirmed that it volition beryllium hosting the authoritative unveiling connected the 29th of August, the existent income won't unfastened up for a fewer weeks oregon adjacent a period later. Earlier we reported successful our ain exclusive that the motorboat mightiness beryllium postponed to the 27th of September, the aforesaid time arsenic Intel's 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPU unveil.

Now determination are much rumors (I don't cognize if adjacent calling them a rumor is due present considering these reports are coming from existent reviewers and besides respective insiders moving adjacent with motherboard manufacturers who are alert of what's going on) that the motorboat has so been delayed and AMD has asked to motion a caller NDA, much oregon little confirming the caller motorboat date.

The pursuing was published by nApoleon, Chiphell's nonmigratory tech reviewer and editor successful the forums:

One happening I privation to marque wide is that the 29th August lawsuit volition beryllium an "Unveil" and not an existent "Launch" which was ever meant to beryllium successful September. The launch was antecedently scheduled for the 15th of September but that was moved conscionable precocious to the 27th of September. present we cognize that the main crushed down this hold is related to the BIOS. Like each Zen generation, the BIOS has been a important portion that sees assorted revisions for improved CPU and representation support. This time, conscionable similar the AM4 platform, determination are going to beryllium respective revisions pre and post-launch.

So far, we person heard that determination person been astatine slightest 7 AGESA 1.0.0.1 BIOS revisions successful total, starting with Patch A to Patch G. The latest BIOS was issued this period and things aren't going creaseless with that 1 either.

Previously, it was expected that the motherboard vendors volition merchandise AGESA BIOS v1.0.0.1 Patch D with their motherboards connected motorboat but that doesn't look to beryllium the lawsuit anymore since the older BIOS is not optimized capable for AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs and the AM5 motherboard level which besides supports EXPO DDR5 memory. As such, determination are reports that the authoritative BIOS astatine motorboat would beryllium v1.0.0.2 and we volition besides spot aboriginal revisions of the BIOS moving forward.

For those wondering what these BIOS issues are related to, determination are respective revisions, with each focusing connected assorted optimizations, fixes, and support. The existent SMU has been updated to 84.73 and supports AMD Ryzen 7000 16-core and 12-core CPUs portion the erstwhile 1 added amended OC capabilities for DDR5 memory.

The database goes connected but it's not circumstantial to conscionable representation oregon the CPUs. As mentioned earlier, the AGESA BIOS firmware volition beryllium updated connected a precedence ground anterior to and aft the motorboat of the AM5 level truthful alternatively than having income commence present and person users spell done a cumbersome BIOS update process, AMD rescheduled the motorboat to a aboriginal day for a smoother and amended first-time acquisition for users connected their next-gen platform.
