Description:
If Arrow Lake processors dont arrive until the end of 2024, Intel could face 
something of a nightmare scenario.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

AMD is about to reveal its next-gen Zen 5 desktop CPUs, which are expected to 
be the Ryzen 9000 family , next week  and the processors should be on sale 
not long after that, if a leaker is correct. 

 VideoCardz noticed that on Chiphell, leaker wjm47196  a regular contributor 
to the grapevine, albeit a clunkily named one  posted a not-all-that-cryptic 
reference to Ferraris new engines that clearly refers to AMDs Ryzen 9000 
range. 

Were told exactly what the rumor mill has maintained for some time now  that 
the next-gen candidates for our list of the best CPUs will be built on 
16-core (flagship), 12-core, 8-core, and 6-core models, mirroring current 
Ryzen 7000 desktop chips. There's also a claim that AMD is not going the way 
of Intel with power-efficient small cores  not yet, anyway. 

Wjm47196 then tells us that what should be the Ryzen 9000 line-up will debut 
at Computex next week, and that the CPUs will be on sale in July. So, were 
looking at a June launch followed by the chips being on shelves at some point 
in July. Analysis: Faster than a speeding arrow 

This is doubtless what Intel fears  an early launch for Ryzen 9000, and it 
looks like AMD is pushing for this to happen. Of course, we cant be sure 
based on any one rumor, but the talk of Zen 5 CPUs arriving in Q3 has been 
pretty consistent of late. Furthermore, its been backed up by some 
motherboard makers issuing BIOS updates for their products  one of which 
called the release of Ryzen 9000 processors imminent as you may recall . 

So, this latest chatter very much reinforces the expectation that Ryzen 9000 
will be happening soon enough, and an on-sale date of July is certainly 
believable at this point  and as mentioned, bad news for Intel. 

Thats mainly because Intels desktop rival, Arrow Lake , isnt expected until 
later in 2024, leaving AMD to pull ahead in the battle of the CPUs here. It 
also raises the prospect that by the time Arrow Lake arrives, AMD might even 
have 3D V-Cache processors (X3D) for Ryzen 9000 out  further extending its 
lead, particularly when it comes to PC gaming. 

Intel could be left seriously struggling to catch up, in short, although 
Arrow Lake is expected to ramp up performance nicely, offering a hefty 
generational increase  though Team Blue might need it, frankly. You might
