AMDis reportedly gearing up to launch its next-generation Ryzen Threadripper 5000 CPUs in August.

AMD’sZen 3architecture can already be found in desktop PCs,laptopsand servers, but it has yet to make its way to the high-end desktop (HEDT) market. That looks set to change in a few month’s time, as new rumors suggest AMD’s Zen 3-based Threadripper 5000 CPUs will debut in August.

LeakerKittyYYuko, who has a known track record when it comes to AMD leaks, has said on Twitter: “In August AMD will release a new generation ThreadRipper processor”.

This is the first rumored launch date we’ve heard for Threadripper 5000. However, with AMD yet to confirm any official launch plans for its next-gen HEDT processors, this leak should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Still, adding weight to the rumor, HWInforecently receivedan update which said that the software will now be able to detect next-generation AMD Threadripper, which suggests that an official launch is likely to happen sooner rather than later.

AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper 5000 series, codenamed “Chagall”, is expected to retain the 64-core, 128-thread design as AMD’s current Zen 2-based Threadripper 3000 lineup - althoughearly rumors suggested the CPUs could return to the same 16-core design as the first generation.

The CPUs are also expected to offer a major IPC uplift thanks to the Zen 3 architecture, alongside higher clock speeds and improved efficiency.
