AMD Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4” Date de lancement et programmation dévoilées, Surfaces de rumeur AM4 spectaculaires

Contrôleur maître


15septembre, 2022, c'est quand AMD lancera son Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4” processeurs de bureau. La stratégie de lancement de ces puces ressemble à celle du Ryzen 5000 série. The company is preparing a lean launch lineup with just four SKUs—the Ryzen 9 7950X, en raison du GPU intégré qui obtient plus de bande passante que lorsqu'il est associé à la mémoire DDR4 9 7900X, Ryzen 7 7800X, et le Ryzen 5 7600X. These SKUs succeed the 5950X, 5900X, 5800X, and 5600X, which made up the previous launch lineup. AMD in its recent interview with us, made it clear that 16-core/32-thread is the maximum core-count for the 7000 série, which would make the 7950X such a chip. The core-counts of the other SKUs are not known. All these models are built in the Socket AM5 package, featuring PCI-Express Gen 5 and DDR5 interfaces. But wait, there’s more.

Although AMD led us to believe that it’s going all-in with DDR5, we’re hearing a spectacular rumor that suggests otherwise. Apparemment, the company is designing Socket AM4 processors with “Zen 4” chiplets, possibly paired with the existing cIOD that supports PCI-Express Gen 4 and DDR4 interfaces. The rumor surfaced among sources lower down the supply-chain (resellers). It seems like AMD isn’t convinced it could target the lower-end of the market with AM5 just yet, and isn’t 100% confident that affordable DDR5 memory will come through in time. Le “Zen 4” + AM4 processors would compete with Intel 600-series chipset motherboards that have DDR4 and PCIe Gen 4 connectivité. Le problème est, you can upgrade your Intel LGA1700 motherboard to one that has DDR5+PCIe Gen5 while keeping your processor; but you can’t do so with an AM4 Zen 4 processeur (you’re stuck on AM4). AMD still gets to sell some processors, and those with AM4 platforms can rejoice.
