Q2 for Ryzen 5 and 2H 2017 for Ryzen 3
It appears that we will have to wait a bit for the rest of the Ryzen lineup as, according to AMD, six-core and quad-core parts will be coming sometime in the second quarter and the second half of this year.
While its octa-core Ryzen 7 lineup is already up for pre-order with availability expected on March 2nd, the rest of the lineup will be coming later, with six-core Ryzen 5 lineup, which should compete with Intel's Core i5 Kaby Lake lineup, coming in Q2 2017, and the quad-core Ryzen 3 lineup coming sometime in the 2H 2017.
According to AMD's own slides from the press event held earlier this week , the Ryzen 5 1600X SKU should be able to compete with Intel's flagship Core i5-7600K SKU, offering up to 69 percent higher performance.
The new AMD Ryzen 7 octa-core lineup is selling like hotcakes and is already on the top of Amazon's best seller list, with Ryzen 7 1700X leading the way, but the six-core and quad-core parts should hit the sweet spot and allow AMD to regain a lot of market share.
