According to the leak in a Taiwanese newspaper, AMD will introduce its new Zen 3-based processor architecture at CES 2020. The company’s current CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, will be on stage to make the grand presentation and tell us all the news about the new core and the products that will be built upon it.
AMD will present its Zen 3 architecture at CES 2020
The launch of Zen 3 means that AMD is speaking about its core and introducing three key products: Ryzen’s fourth generation, for desktop and mobile customers; the company’s third-generation EPYC processor family, based on the MCM “Milan“, which follows “Rome”; and finally, the fourth generation Ryzen Threadripper processor family, codenamed “Genesis Peak”.
The majority of the customer segment is addressed by two separate developments, “Vermeer” and “Renoir”. The “Vermeer” processor is a desktop MCM that succeeds “Matisse” and will implement “Zen 3” chips. “Renoir”, on the other hand, will be a monolithic APU that combines “Zen 2” CPU cores with an iGPU based on the “Vega” graphics architecture with updated graphics and “Navi” multimedia engines.
The red link between “Milan”, “Genesis Peak” and “Vermeer” is the “Zen 3” chipplet that AMD will build in the new 7 nm EUV silicon manufacturing process to be produced by TSMC. AMD stated that the “Zen 3” will provide further IPC performance improvements of approximately 17% after the latest leaks.
