GIGABYTE Stirs Zen 5 and Ryzen 8000 Series Speculation: “Next Generation of AMD Ryzen Desktop CPUs Will Come Out Later This Year”

Giga Computing, a subsidiary of GIGABYTE and an industry leader in high-performance servers, server motherboards, and workstations, shared a press release discussing its new servers for AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors yesterday, and within it comes the claim that the "next generation" of AMD Ryzen desktop processors are scheduled for release later this year. GIGABYTE didn't provide any clarification as to what these chips might actually be, but that hasn't stopped AMD fans from hoping that it might be Zen 5 and the Ryzen 8000 Series—according to a desktop roadmap that AMD had previously released, Zen 5 is expected to drop by 2024.
