AMD Zen 3 release date, specs and price: everything we know about AMD Ryzen 4000


Rumors and leaks surrounding the AMD Zen 3 architecture have been stacking up, and so have official announcements from AMD, albeit in smaller bite-sized pieces. This is pretty much expected at this point, as Zen 3, along with
Ryzen 4000
desk processors, is due to roll out in late 2020.
AMD CEO Lisa Su recently
confirmed its launch on October 8
with a short teaser video, so it won’t be long now until we’ll see these processors in action. Luckily, we’ve also heard that AMD Zen 3-based processors in the Ryzen 4000 lineup will
officially support X570 and B550 motherboards
And it’s starting to look like AMD Zen 3 will be an absolute powerhouse of a CPU architecture. A
new leak of the AMD Zen 3-based Ryzen 9 4950X
should have Intel worried, with 16-core, 32-thread and a 4.8GHz boost clock. So, even though Zen 2 is still going strong, it’s time to start looking at what AMD has in store with its successor.
Of course, besides the launch date, nothing is confirmed yet. But, we should get more specific details on October 8. For now, here’s everything we know about the AMD Zen 3 architecture so far. Keep this page bookmarked as we’ll update it as soon as new information reaches our desks.

AMD Zen 3 release date
AMD has recently rolled out a short teaser video that gives AMD Zen 3 an October 8 launch date. However, we don’t know whether the chips will also be released on the same day. Either way, we’re getting more concrete information about the much-anticipated AMD processors.AMD Zen 3 price
We don’t have any reason to expect that processors built on the Zen 3 architecture will be priced any differently than their Zen 2 counterparts. Given that expectation, it is useful to consider the prices of AMD’s Zen 2 processors. These were the prices of AMD’s first run of Zen 2-based Ryzen processors:- AMD Ryzen 9 3950X: $749 (about £590, AU$1,080)
- AMD Ryzen 9 3900X: $499 (about £390, AU$720)
- AMD Ryzen 7 3800X: $399 (about £310, AU$580)
- AMD Ryzen 7 3700X: $329 (about £260, AU$480)
- AMD Ryzen 5 3600X: $249 (about £200, AU$360)
- AMD Ryzen 5 3600: $199 (about £160, AU$290)
- AMD Ryzen 5 3400G: $149 (£139, AU$240)
- AMD Ryzen 3 3300G: $99 (£94, AU$144)
