The Ryzen 9000 Series, AMD’s next generation of desktop processors and some of the first to boast the company’s new Zen 5 cores, may launch as early as August this year alongside the company’s “Strix” Zen 5 APUs, with product availability arriving a few months later, in October, suggests new statements shared by AOOSTAR, a mini PC manufacturer. Intel, which plans to compete with CPUs that include Arrow Lake-S, is expected to launch its own products in a similar time frame, in September 2024.

From a report:
…the Mini PC manufacturer is likely referring to the AMD Strix “Zen 5” APUs as they make Mini PCs based on mobile chips and not desktop SKUs. With that said, we can expect the next-gen Ryzen Desktop CPUs featuring Zen 5 core architecture to arrive on AM5 socket platforms around the same time.
