Will we already have Zen 5 CPUs available before Hot Chips, though? That remains to be seen.

Nah, not possible, because it makes little sense to release them this early. Even AMD have themselves stated that Zen 5 chips are slated for late 2H 2024.

Also, giving architecture deep dive details after releasing the chips on the market also sounds like a bit odd strategy, IMO.

i'm expecting june launch at computex and market availability in the fall.

Basically they only announce and officially confirm/unveil consumer products at computex. The launch usually takes place 2-3 months later.

AMD did the same during Computex 2022 where the Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" CPUs and the subsequent AM5 platforms were revealed to the public, but they were launched 3 months later, with market/retail availability.

you are right I choose the wrong word there should have been announced not launch.

they didnt do that with Zen 2, they announced it at computex and released it in july 7, its all about the market situation, are they in any rush to release it? or can they take their time... from the latest Intel's shenanigans (this was bound to happen everyone knew it), i dont see AMD in any rush to launch Zen 5 early..er, they have the luxury of taking an extra month or 2 to fine tune Bioses and chips (they need that proper tuning on bioses and properly oversee implementation by the AIB's).

I've seen plenty such examples. Keep in mind that Hot Chips is an academic conference, first and foremost. I think it's only become known to the general public in recent years.

Obviously, companies can use it for their own PR purposes, but I don't know how deliberate they are about doing so. I doubt anything covered at Hot Chips has any direct commercial impact for these firms. The commercially-relevant details would be things like power & performance claims, which companies can and do reveal in presentations made in other contexts.
