AMD Reveals Roadmaps for CPUs and GPUs

At its Fiscal Annotator Solar day 2020, AMD has revealed the roadmap for its consumer & enterprise CPUs and GPUs. The CPU Roadmap is mainly focused on the enterprise since they take a longer production bike.

In the consumer CPU category, AMD anticipates releasing the 4th gen Ryzen Zen 3 in late 2020. As you can see in the graph beneath, there is no mention of Zen four in the consumer segment. AMD expects on launching its whole consumer lineup including desktop CPUs, loftier-end desktop (HEDT) and notebook processors by the end of 2021.

On the enterprise side of things, AMD says that its 7nm Zen 3 EPYC Milan volition hit the market in late 2020. In the meantime, the visitor'due south 5nm Zen 4 EPYC Genoa fries are slated to come past the terminate of 2022.

If you've been following AMD's CPU lineup, you lot might have noticed the absence of "7nm+" upon referring Zen iii and the company now refers to it as "7nm". Equally pointed out past AnandTech, this is considering 7nm+ was initially used to refer to an "avant-garde version of 7nm".

TSMC uses the classification N7 to refer to the basic version using DUV (Deep UltraViolet lithography), N7P – second-gen of N7 using DUV and N7+, which is the EUV (Extreme UltraViolet lithography) version of N7. AMD removed the "+" from "7nm" because they didn't desire their CPUs misinterpreted to be manufactured in N7+ process.

Coming to GPUs, AMD anticipates making its next-gen "Navi 2X" GPUs based on AMD RDNA 2 architecture available in the market in late 2020. RDNA 2 is expected to bring a 50 percent performance-per-watt improvement over the first-generation AMD RDNA architecture. Information technology volition also support hardware-accelerated ray tracing, variable rate shading (VRS) among other features.
