The Zen 4 based Raphael Ryzen CPUs aren't expected till late 2022 so there's still a lot of time left in the launch. The complete leaked AMD Desktop & Mobility Ryzen CPU roadmap compiled by Raphael Ryzen Desktop CPUs are also expected to feature RDNA 2 onboard graphics which means that just like Intel's mainstream desktop lineup, AMD's mainstream lineup will also feature iGPU graphics support. “Certainly process opens an additional door for us to better performance-per-watt and so on, and we'll take advantage of that as well.” Everything is scrutinized to squeeze more performance out.” Zen 4 is going to have a similar long list of things, where you look at everything from the caches, to the branch prediction, the number of gates in the execution pipeline. If you looked at our technical document on Zen 3, it was this long list of things that we did to get that 19%. Q- How much of the performance gains delivered by AMD’s Zen 4 CPUs, which are expected to use a 5nm TSMC process and might arrive in early 2022, will come from instructions per clock (IPC) gains as opposed to core count and clock speed increases.īergman: “ the maturity of the x86 architecture now, the answer has to be, kind of, all of the above. ‘There will be more core counts in the future – I would not say those are the limits! It will come as we scale the rest of the system.’ĪMD's Rick Bergman on Next-Gen Zen 4 Cores For Ryzen CPUs We are as good as we are with the product today, but with our ambitious roadmaps, we are focusing on Zen 4 and Zen 5 to be extremely competitive. ‘Mark, Mike, and the teams have done a phenomenal job. Related Story Hassan Mujtaba AMD RDNA 3 “Radeon RX 7000” GPUs Allegedly Hit Almost 4 GHz Clock Speeds, Refined Adaptive Power-Management & Next-Gen Infinity Cache Confirmed The brand new Zen 4 architecture is rumored to deliver up to 25% IPC gain over Zen 3 and hit clock speeds of around 5 GHz. AMD has hinted at upping the core counts of its next-gen mainstream desktop CPUs so we can expect a slight bump from the current max of 16 cores and 32 threads. From the information we currently have, Raphael CPUs will be based on the 5nm Zen 4 core architecture & will feature 6nm I/O dies in a chiplet design. The next-generation Zen 4 based Ryzen Desktop CPUs will be codenamed Raphael and will replace the Zen 3 based Ryzen 5000 Desktop CPUs that are codenamed, Vermeer. Here's Everything We Know About AMD's Raphael Ryzen 'Zen 4' Desktop CPUs

PCIe Gen 5.0 is only going to be supported by Genoa but it looks like future AM5 platforms will include the tech if AMD sees the need for it to promote its next-generation graphics cards.

One thing that's interesting is that the platform is going to stick with PCIe 4.0 support and not move to PCIe 5.0 like Intel's Alder Lake. The X670 motherboards will feature support for dual-channel DDR5 memory with native speeds starting at 4800 and going all the way up to 10,000 as hinted by DRAM manufacturers. The X670 PCH is supposedly going to be the flagship offering, replacing X570. Other features of the AM5 platform include the brand new 600-series chipset lineup.
