The next-generation Ryzen 4000 series, based on Zen 3, could include 10-core versions, according to Yuri Bubliy, the developer of the DRAM computer for Ryzen and the upcoming ClockTuner.
According to Bubliy, the data is already available in AGESA 1.0.8.1, so it is more or less confirmed. However, this does not mean that AMD will definitely release these processors to the market, it could be an optional configuration for internal testing.
This means that AMD may be preparing Zen 3 SKUs that will compete directly with the 10th generation of Intel Core processors. Assuming this happens, we could expect 5 + 5 Zen CCX configurations, for example.
AMD Zen 3 will support “Curve Optimizer
The new AMD processor series will also include the Curve Optimizer. A new feature that allows frequency adjustment for each processor core without restrictions.
AMD Ryzen Master already offers many overclocking and underclocking functions for Ryzen processors. However, there is still room for improvement, which is why Yuri Bubliy is developing ClockTuner for Ryzen, a semi-automatic tool for finding the best CCX in Ryzen processors.
AMD Zen3 is equipped with Infinity Fabric partitions
It was also shown that Zen 3 will also focus on memory acceleration. The micro BIOS code also contains Infinity Fabric Dividers. This should provide more flexibility in the frequency settings of the memory controller, e.g. in mixed mode.
Currently, there is no further information about this feature. However, it is possible that we will soon see more updates related to the Zen 3 series on AGESA (AMD Generic Encapsulated Software Architecture).
AMD has not yet announced a release date for the Ryzen 4000 series. However, the company has repeatedly confirmed that the Zen 3 desktop series will be released later this year.
