Do you think Zen 5 is out of reach. In fact, friends who are impressed may remember that as early as 2018, Mike Clark, the father of AMD Zen architecture and chief designer, personally confirmed that zen5 research and development had begun. You know, Zen + had not even officially appeared at that time.
The following year, David Suggs, one of the main designers of Zen 2 and AMD enterprise academician, mentioned in his personal file that he had joined Zen 5 team to conduct knife R & D and design. In October of that year, amd CTO mark papermaster confirmed that Zen 4 and Zen 5 were being independently developed by different teams.
Since it is not in a continuous line, we have reason to look forward to the new look of Zen 5.
Mlid shared the latest information, saying that Zen 5 will be the biggest change in the architecture since Zen 2. It is expected to be launched 11 ~ 15 months after Zen 4, that is, as soon as the second half of next year
In terms of CPU design, Zen 5 will completely reconstruct the interconnection and cache parts. Although the frequency is basically the same as Zen 4, the IPC is improved more than Zen 4. The IPC increase of Zen 4 to Zen 3 will not be less than 19%, and the latest news says it can be up to 24%.
However, the legendary four thread is dead, and it is still dual thread.
Three codes of processor products corresponding to Zen 5 have surfaced, namely epyc Turin 7xxx, Ruilong 8000 "granite ridge" and Ruilong 8000 "Strix point", process upgrade TSMC 3nm or 4nm, and the number of cores of Ruilong 8000 will exceed 16**
By the way, Zen 6 and mlid also admit that they know little at present. He predicts to see it around 2025.
