AMD has unveiled a release schedule for new CPU and GPU architectures for the next few years, including their latest processors for laptops.
The processor is the Ryzen 7000 using the Zen 4 architecture, which promises 15% higher single thread performance, and 8-10% higher Instruction Per Clock (IPC).
Meanwhile, the performance per watt is claimed to have a significant increase (25% or higher), as well as higher memory bandwidth with the use of DDR5.
The Ryzen 7000 for desktops and servers will be produced using the 5nm process and is scheduled to launch in 2022. While the laptop variant is produced using the 4nm process from TSMC.
The Ryzen 7000 for the laptop is codenamed Phoenix Point and uses a Zen 5 core and GPU RDNA 3+ architecture, and is built using a yet-to-be-disclosed advanced node.
The Zen 5 is described as a completely new microarchitecture, but not many details have been revealed. AMD only mentions that these processors are made using 4nm and 3nm processes.
TSMC's 4nm process is actually just an improved version of the 5nm process, but its 3nm process is completely new and different. The Zen 5 processor itself is only expected to arrive in 2024, so there aren't too many details yet.
Meanwhile for GPU products, RDNA 3 will be made using a 5nm process and will be the first chip to use a chiplet design. RDNA 2 is made using 7nm and 6nm processes, so the increase in RDNA 3 will be significant, predicted to increase by 50% in terms of performance per watt compared to RDNA 2.
Then there is RDNA 3+ for some products, but the biggest improvement will come in RDNA 4 which is expected to be released in 2024. Not much information has been revealed, but AMD promises significant performance and efficiency, as quoted by GSM Arena, Saturday (11/6). /2022).
