AMD is rumored to reduce production capacity for Ryzen 7000 processors due to lower-than-expected sales, mainly due to the high construction costs caused by # AM5 (184007)

AMD will officially launch the new AM5 platform and Ryzen 7000 processor in late September 2022. In addition to a full architecture and socket update, it will also bring new channels including PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5. However, according to rumors, AMD is evaluating the current PC market Currently, the production capacity of Ryzen 7000 series processors is deliberately reduced.

▲ Although AM5 brings new channels such as PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5, it also carries over to system building costs

Ryzen 7000 doesn’t perform poorly. In fact, the Ryzen 7000 is still quite popular with enthusiasts. The selling performance of the Ryzen 9 7900 is quite good and its shipping and selling performance is better than that of the Ryzen 7 7700X and Ryzen 7600X; but the problem lies in AM5 This is a brand new platform. Due to the addition of more PCIe 5 channels, the cost of the motherboard is relatively high and only the current price of DDR5 can be used, which makes the cost purchase of the Ryzen 7000 relatively high, although the later B650 is cheaper than the X670 chip. The launch of the motherboard lowered the price slightly, but the entry price was still higher than AMD expected.

After all, the main driving force behind sales in the market is often not the group at the top of the pyramid – with the launch of the AM5 platform, the Ryzen 5000 series and AM4 platform still on sale have better C / P value and are more in line. with the price that mainstream gamers can accept, however, AMD will have to worry about how to allocate production capacity later, as AMD’s mobile platform layout in 2023 will span three architectures, Zen 2, Zen 3, and Zen 4. as well as the next-generation Zen 4 EPYC server-class processor. CPU dies going to Ryzen 7000, not to mention game dies that need to be shipped to Sony and Microsoft.
