On October 8th, the company will unveil Ryzen desktop processors based on the Zen 3 architecture, now known as the 5000 series, while on October 28th it will be the turn of the Radeon RX 6000 based on the RDNA 2 architecture.

The versions that will be released
The Ryzen 5000 processors could arrive on the market on October 20th, with the first wave of offerings expected to include the Ryzen 9 5900X (12 cores), Ryzen 7 5800X (8 cores), Ryzen 9 5950X (16 cores), and Ryzen 5 5600X (6 cores). According to Bubliy, the date has been set for some time and has not been postponed so far.
The developer and AMD enthusiast also claims that the Radeon RX 6000 series cards will arrive around November 15th, coinciding with the launch of the new Xbox and PS5, which will also feature custom RDNA 2 GPUs. This means we'll have the new GPUs shortly after the October 28th announcement.
Recently on Twitter, AMD's chief gaming solutions architect Frank Azor hinted that the availability of the new Radeon GPUs is perfectly in line with demand and that it will not be a launch without any supporting gimmicks like what happened with Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3080/3090.
