AMD's record $6.6B revenue keeps 'high-end' RDNA 3 GPUs and Ryzen 7000 CPUs on track for launch this year
AMD has confirmed the Q3 launch window for its upcoming Ryzen 7000 series CPUs and «high-end RDNA 3 GPUs later this year.» This comes from the recent Q2 2022 earnings call where it discussed the company's financials, provided forward guidance and, most importantly for us gamers, doubled down on when we can get our hands on new red team hardware.

With an all new CPU platform and GPU architecture, AMD looks to have a strong portfolio in place for the consumer market, and it's looking good for the enterprise market too. AMD's EPYC Genoa CPUs are on track to launch later this year, too. Do you fancy a 96-core CPU? AMD says it has strong interest from customers for its Genoa range, and AMD could be set to take advantage of further delays to Intel's competing Sapphire Rapids range.
Moving onto the financial side, AMD posted record revenues(opens in new tab) for the second quarter of 2022 which is a massive 70%
