According to leaker Yuri Bublij (@ 1usmus), AMD will soon introduce new Ryzen 5000 processors for desktops (Zen 3), which will offer beats over 5 GHz. And that is due to happen next Monday, February 15, and it must be said that so far we have not seen any signs that any new Ryzens should be ready, that is, no other sources have talked about it and we do not even know about the tests. new unknown models. That is the first thing.
The second thing is that the Ryzen 5000 processors are only on the market for a short time, or certainly too short, for AMD to prepare their higher-clocked versions, such as the Ryzen 9 5950 XT or whatever they might be called. After all, the Ryzen 3000 XT models came only after AMD and TSMC managed to fine-tune the 7nm production process, ie about a year after the arrival of the original models. The same fine-tuned process was then used for the new generation of Ryzen 5000s, and now should we believe that AMD has kept such a reserve in beats or created stocks of such well-made chiplets that it can launch higher-timed Ryzens on the market now?
And third, Ryzen 5000 processors are currently being sold as buns, and are more of a scarce commodity without offering more powerful versions, but there are reasons to trust this report.

Bublije can be considered a rather reliable source of information, after all, he is also the author of the software Clock Tuner For Ryzen, who may be very familiar with the situation. Plus, if he’s so specific about the show, there’s really something to be behind it.
And then there’s the obvious fact that Intel is pushing to the forefront again with its Rocket Lake-S processors, which are most likely to be better than Ryzens in single-core performance and may be better overall in games. From this point of view, AMD’s attempt to bring the faster Ryzena to market would be understandable, as Lisa Su would certainly be reluctant to lose another new gain, especially as Intel takes another slow breath and prepares “retribution” under the new leadership.
So we’ll see, right after the weekend, whether Yuri is right. In the end, it can still be just new versions with an increase in beats, usually only 100 MHz, a maximum of 200 MHz, and even only in the case of turbo, which was demonstrated by the Ryzeny 3000 XT.
