Despite the ongoing supply shortages issue, AMD is seemingly raising production for its upcoming series of graphics cards and processors. So we can expect the new Ryzen 7000 series CPU and Radeon 7000 GPUs to see better inventory.
The news arrives from Tongfu Microelectronics, who is a production partner of Team Red (Via 91Mobiles). According to the supplier, it is increasing the production of new AMD CPUs and GPUs to alleviate the ongoing shortages within the supply chain. Furthermore, Tongfu Microelectronics’s deputy general manager Xia Xin said that TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co) is also expanding the output of its advanced processes. This will help grow the company’s packaging and testing requirements.
For those unaware, there is an ongoing shortage of semiconductors all that has impacted various industries across the globe. This issue paired with raw materials becoming costlier led to companies like AMD to suffer, since their latest Ryzen 5000 CPU and Radoen RX 6000 GPUs were in short supply. Customers had to wait for resupplies or buy the PC parts at hiked prices from scalpers. So, the production rise should help the PC parts maker to better prepare for its next gen’s launch.
As of right now, the AMR Ryzen 7000 chips that are based on the Zen 4 architecture is rumored to begin mass production later this month and will launch sometime around late September 2022. This would be in line with the brand’s H2 2022 launch timeline that it had announced back in CES 2022. The new processors will compete with Intel’s latest 12th Gen Core processors and even its next gen 13th Gen CPUs as well.
