Sweclockers.com claim March 2nd Ryzen launch

[DozerKitty]

We're getting closer and closer to the new Ryzen launch. A few days ago it was announced by AMD themselves, that Ryzen would launch in "early March". Now, Sweclockers.com claims this to be on March 2nd at 4 PM CET (7 AM PST).

It is still unclear how many CPU's AMD will set free at launch, but there are many indications that they will first release the octa cores, and ship out the hexa- and quad-cores at a later date.

If you read in the comments they also link to an article on wccftech http://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-reviews-live-february-28th-testers-receiving-samples/ with headline: AMD Ryzen Reviews Coming February 28th – Press Now Receiving Samples

also in that article it says:

AMD’s officially announced launch date for Ryzen is March 2nd. That’s when the majority of the lineup is expected to go on sale, with a few models expected to begin shipping to customers a couple of days before that.

Fake news.

Why/How?

 

A: Made by Swedes

B: AMD hosts an event on the 28th. I think it is pretty logical to assume they will launch then. Especially since AMD has no big announcements announced for the 2nd of March....

SweClockers.com also posted that it has been listed in an online store with prices.

This is a listing from the Swedish site Prisjakt which is part of PriceRunner except it's better

It's nothing surprising either way, they said they plan to launch Ryzen Q1 and not at the end of it, so there.
