The Ryzen 3000 series of AMD's "Zen 2" generation is up to 16 cores doubling the number of cores, and rumors that appeared in 2019

AMD officially announced the CPU road map until 2020. Development of the "Zen 2" microarchitecture planned to be adopted for the third generation Ryzen has been officially completed, but the possibility of the appearance of the 16 core model, which is doubling the current Ryzen 7 8 cores, is whispered I will.

[Rumor] AMD Bringing 12-16 Core Ryzen CPUs to AM 4 in 2019, Roadmap Into 2020 Detailed - Zen 2, Zen 3 & Zen 5

The first generation Ryzen "1000" series adopted "Zen" microarchitecture released in 2017 was manufactured in 14 nm process. In the second generation Ryzen "2000" series adopted "Zen +" in 2018, the shrink progresses and the 12 nm process is adopted. In 2019, Ryzen "3000" series of "Zen 2" generation which redesigned micro architecture design appeared,Process ruleWill enter 7 nm. AMD has already completed the Zen 2 design and clarifies that it is working on the development of "Zen 3" of the "7 nm +" generation which improved the process rule now.


It is awkward for process miniaturizationIntel shifts to the 10 nm process is significantly delayed since 2019AMD is planning to release 7 yr process Ryzen on schedule as scheduled in 2019. Although it is not inadvertently shown in the road map as technicians accidentally leaked, AMD is "Zen 5"We are starting to develop about" Zen 4 ", there is also a rumor that Zen 5 adopts a phenomenal 3 nm process rule.


In addition, WCCFTech says that there is a rumor that "the number of cores increases further in the Ryzen 3000 series of the Zen 2 generation and the highest version of 12 cores to 16 cores will appear". The core number of the same level as the current high-end model "Ryzen Threadripper" will be realized with the AM 4 socket motherboard covering the low-end CPU. This rumor also matches the information that the next generation "CPU for the server" EPYC "server supports 64 cores from 48 cores", and the number of cores per die expands to 16 at maximum It is expected to be.


Since WCCFTech does not disclose information sources, the authenticity of 12 core or 16 core Ryzen 3000 series is unknown. There is also the possibility of information leaked by AMD aiming at checking Intel. If the Ryzen 3000 series of 16 cores appears, it will be only two years strong, the number of core of mainstream CPU will be quadrupled, and it is likely to enter the Manicore era at once.
