It’s not at all clear what it will be.

AMD has already released both the Ryzen 7000 and Ryzen 7000X3D, but this CPU for the AM5 platform does not seem to end there. Gigabyte, in its press release on entry-level servers based on Ryzen CPUs, mentions some new models.

There are no specifics, but Gigabyte calls them not just new CPUs, but successors to the Ryzen 7000. 

Ryzen 7000 “obsolete” this year?

While these new products are entry-level servers, CPU support doesn’t end there, and the AM5 platform will be supported until at least 2025. The next generation of AMD Ryzen desktop processors due later this year will also be supported on this platform, so customers purchasing these servers today have the option to upgrade to Ryzen 7000 successors

The bottom line is that there is not even a rumor that AMD may release some more new CPUs this year for the desktop segment within the AM5 platform. Yes, we have Ryzen Threadripper and new mobile APUs, but there was no mention of anything new for AM5.  

You may recall that in the second half of the year, Intel is going to release Raptor Lake Refresh processors, so AMD may also release slightly improved Ryzen 7000, but this is just a guess.
