The leaked information suggests that production of the new chips began in the second half of 2022, which lines up with a potential 2024 release date. The Zen 5 architecture is also rumoured to be released in 2024, which adds further evidence to this timeline. However, a recent statement from a Gigabyte spokesperson suggested that the release date for the Ryzen 7000 successor is unknown, leaving the actual release date for the Ryzen 8000 series unclear.
