AMD has already talked a lot about their Ryzen 7000 desktop PC series, which allegedly appear in the third quarter. This new processor series will be the first major change in the Ryzen series from the date of her debut in 2017. New processors will move from the PGA socket in favor of LGA, but will retain the same case size and compatibility with colder cooling with existing AM4 processors.

AMD currently does not plan to issue Ryzen 7000 with a capacity of 120 W, contrary to leaks in August last year. The top SKU is presumably started with TDP 170 W and will require liquid cooling with a radiator at least 280 mm. It is reported that this part will have 16 cores and 32 streams, so the configuration is exactly the same as the current Ryzen processor 9 5950x:

Not having signs of 16+ nuclear SKUs, AMD would not update your stack of products already two generations. It is not entirely clear whether Zen4 is planned with a large number of computing chiplots, but such plans are developed for its successor under the code name "Granite Ridge". Does this mass desktop PC with 24 or 32 cores in 2023-2024, it still has to be defined.

It is important to note that the Intel 13th Gen Core series "Raptor Lake" (which will also be launched at the end of this year) will have a greater number of cores compared to the Alder Lake series. There are rumors that the new series will have two times more "efficient" nuclei and, as a result, 24 kernels and 32 threads in full desktop configuration.
