Ryzen 6000 at 6nm will sell for at least two quarters, then will be replaced by 5nm Ryzen 7000 units which will phase into the line to replace the 6000 series units.   5nm Ryzen 7000 will have "up to twice as many chiplet cores" and these new 5nm chiplet cores will have the new built in RD-3 gaming graphics which will render it a clearly superior product in a laptop.

Intel can compete with Ryzen 6000,  but only at power draw levels that are clearly much higher and much less desirable in a laptop product.   First word is Intel will be running 2x higher current draw for Intel to try to get same level performance as a Ryzen 6000.

Intel currently has no disclosed Intel 10nm built competitive unit for Ryzen 7000, but Intel says Intel will begin to beat and compete again when they start building 3nm chipsets at TSMC two years from now.

Two years is forever in computer terms.   In two years, ASML will be building new generations of 2nm and 1nm capable scanners.   TSMC and Intel will be installing them in American native soil complexes as China will have likely started to Biden'd their way into Taiwan and, if rumors are true, the Taiwanese ASML scanners will have been moved to America or else will have been blown up in place ahead of a Chinese take over.

Software based Mitigations for Spectre Version 2 are out now native in Ubuntu and Linux Mint formats.

I have the slowest Core 2 Duo machine that is available used from Dell, so if anyone is suffering it should be me.

Boot times include boot scanning now, and it shows.    It takes 5-7 seconds longer to boot from a cold boot.

Opening programs takes 1-3 seconds longer.   Programs get scanned when first started up.

Communicating over web based anything takes an extra second or so to get it started up.

Point made earlier about Intel effectively losing their last big performance bump to mitigations slowdowns seems to have panned out when using my old Intel box as the baseline.


==================================================


There are tricks to do to avoid most of this slow down at start-up.   Just turn your monitor off and leave your CPU running all the time in idle mode sending info to a monitor that is simply shut off.

MS has been doing this trick for a decade now, as their junk was way way too slow way way back then ......


===================================================


New Intel based Dell Alder Lake laptops are out.   Instead of 15-16 watts, they pull 28 watts.   Battery life sucks accordingly, but that is what you have available to buy right now as the new generation AMD units have all been snapped up and are GONE already.

The AMD decks have been cleared for the Ryzen 7000 series release starting next month .......

AMD's next gen product will be the 5nm stuff with the extra cores and extra stacked on top memory and the self-aggregating built in gaming graphics .......    This will come out in the gaming range of Ryzen 7 pulling like 12 cores and simply using up AMD's entire wafer allocation right off the bat.

AMD's total rewrite of everything that will be called Ryzen 7 comes out in spots starting next month.

OK, AMD's 6nm refresh with the big extra memory lands on the top of the chart leaving us waiting for Intel's counter moves.   AMD is not going to fill in all their units in the line as they will be replacing it all with Ryzen 7 very shortly.

Grin

The old big swashbucking swordfight up the big set or stairs analogy still applies to what is going on this summer and fall.  Fighting continuously while moving up together a step or two at a time ........

All the new stuff from everybody needs to rank 200 or better to even exist going forward from here.   Intel still pulls double the wattage of AMD on all new Intel items ----

This makes up a very real and long term killing disadvantage to Intel going forward.

https://hothardware.com/search?a=all&s=amd+reveals+dragon+range

The AMD earnings release also incorporated news about new Ryzen 7000 mobile chipsets.



AMD Zen 4 Dragon Range, Phoenix, And Xilinx Integration
In addition to the financial disclosures, AMD also revealed some information regarding future products. In her prepared remarks, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su mentions future processors with integrated Xilinx technology. “As one example, we are integrating Xilinx’s differentiated AI engine across our CPU product portfolio to enable industry-leading inference capabilities,” Dr. Su said, “with the first products expected in 2023.”


Ryzen 7000 Dragon Range slide

Along with that news, AMD’s Robert Hallock also officially announced two new Zen 4-based Ryzen 7000 series mobile processors – Dragon Range and Phoenix. We caught wind of Phoenix quite a while back, but Dragon Range was a bit of a surprise.

Both Phoenix and Dragon Range will leverage AMD’s upcoming Zen 4 architecture. Both chips will offer PCI Express 5 and support for LPDDR5 memory, though it wasn’t clear if DDR4 would also be supported. Phoenix will have a 35-45 watt TDP range and target thin-and-light gaming notebooks with z-heights less than 20mm. Dragon Range, however, will be a more powerful CPU, with a 55W+ TDP range, for enthusiast-class, high-end gaming and creator-focused notebooks.

Hallock also noted that Dragon Range will have the highest core and thread counts, and the most cache, for a mobile gaming processor, but actual specifications and details weren’t disclosed.


===================================================


Key details from AMD’s financial result disclosures were also covered:

Q1 Results

Record quarterly revenue of $5.9B, an increase of 71% y/y and 22% q/q
Street revenue estimate for Q1 based on analysts who have updated their models to include the partial quarter of Xilinx is $5.5B
Gross Margin of 53%
An increase of 660 bps y/y and 240 bps q/q driven by higher EPYC server processor revenue and addition of Xilinx
Record quarterly non-GAAP net income was $1.6B
Up 148% y/y and 42% q/q
Record quarterly non-GAAP EPS was $1.13
Up 117% y/y and 23% q/q
Excluding the Xilinx additions, AMD’s Q1 results are still strong:
Revenue increased 55% y/y and 10% q/q to $5.3B
We guided revenue to increase 45% y/y to $5B
Gross margin was 51%, up 480 bps y/y and XYZ bps q/q
We guided to 50.5%
AMD also provided some updated guidance that incorporates new business as a result of the Xilinx acquisition. To quickly summarize, AMD expects Q2 revenue to be approximately $6.5B (+/- $200 million), which is an increase of approximately 69% year over year.

AMD expects full year 2022 revenue to be approximately $26.4 billion, an increase of approximately 60% over 2021, due in no small part to the increased margins associated with Xilinx’s higher server and semi-custom revenue. This is a massive increase from prior guidance of approximately 31%.

Confirmation of earlier AMD information showing that AMD will compete against Intel's proposed higher current draw main processor "assbuster" specifications and also against Apple's more moderate draw mobile chipsets using the same chiplets set up in different chiplet counts and memory configurations.

https://liliputing.com/2022/05/amd-ryzen-7000-dragon-range-chips-for-gaming-l...

AMD plans to launch the first Ryzen 7000 series desktop chips later this year, with mobile versions aimed at laptops and other compact computers coming in 2023. But that oversimplifies things a bit, because it turns out AMD will actually be launching two different lines of laptop chips next year.

In addition to the previously expected “Phoenix” chips aimed at thin and light gaming laptops, AMD will launch a line of “Dragon Range” chips for higher-performance gaming laptops.



In a nutshell, both chips will use the same Zen 4 CPU cores as the desktop-class “Raphael” processors set to launch this year. They’ll both also support PCIe 5. But Dragon Range chips consume more power and are expected to have higher core and thread counts and/or speeds than Phoenix chips, more cache, and overall higher performance.

They’re also expected to show up in laptops that are more than 20mm (0.78 inches) thick, suggesting it’ll take more cooling power to keep them happy.

Basically, these are chips for the kind of laptops where performance is more important than battery life, and where you’ll probably keep them plugged in running off charger power most of the time.

In a nutshell, here’s what the Ryzen 7000 lineup looks like so far:

Raphael: 65W+ desktop chips with Zen 4 CPU cores and PCIe 5 support
Dragon Range: 55+ laptop chips with Zen 4 CPU cores and PCIe 5 support
Phoenix: 35-45W laptop chips with Zen 4 CPU cores and PCIe 5 support
Note that the in the graphic shared by AMD, some chips are described as supporting DDR5 while others show LPDDR5, but Ian Cutress notes that this doesn’t mean they only support those types of memory. So don’t be shocked if a laptop with a Phoenix CPU ends up featuring DDR5 memory or a Dragon Range system supports LPDDR5, for example.

AMD & others --- Intel dominance in 2022 ???
Reply #306 - 05/06/22 at 04:56:55
 

Got the first wave of AMD new generation laptop all in one processor reviews coming in now.

AMD's very least 6nm unit is a Chromebook processor.   Least amp draw, least throughput.

This new 6nm Chromebook processor out powers the existing (previous generation) high watt draw laptop processors and even some of the least of the desktop processors that are currently selling.

AMD 5nm Ryzen 7000 may rule for a while as Intel has no answer for it at all until TSMC makes them some 3nm chipsets on TSMC's equipment.


==================================================


Please remember, AMD must concentrate their newest 5nm and 6nm chiplets where they will do the most good.  

AMD is still going to be 5nm wafer limited and AMD will remain wafer limited as Intel rolls further into TSMC's supply allocation system.

https://liliputing.com/2022/05/intels-55-watt-alder-lake-hx-chips-bring-up-to...



Intel strikes back at AMD's top of the chart laptop offerings, quadrupling Intel's base rated current draw numbers, lasering off some built in graphics support and killing all of Intel's much ballyhoo'd Thunderbolt 4 support with all this done in an attempt to keep the current draw numbers from being so frighteningly durn AMAZINGLY HUGE.

Another read is that Intel has some serious production issues that mean advanced graphics segments and Thunderbolt subsections simply aren't working right at all and get laser truncated (so Intel tries to make a feature out of of the lack, huh?)

These newest Intel laptops can still draw more power than Intel desktops used to draw ......  and they are NOT FEATURE COMPLETE nor are they even literal competitive products compared to last year's Intel even.

Like all of Intel’s 12th-gen chips, the new processors are based on a hybrid architecture that combines Performance (P) and Efficient (E) CPU cores. What’s new for the HX series is:

Processor Base Power of 55 watts (up from 45 watts for Alder Lake-H chips)
Max Turbo Power of 157 watts (up from 115 watts for Alder Lake-H)
Support for up to 8 P cores and 8 E cores (up from 6P + 8E for Alder Lake-H)
Intel Xe-LP integrated graphics with 32 execution units (down from 96eu for Alder Lake-H)
Thunderbolt 4 support is no longer integrated with the chip support for PCIe Gen 5.

In other words, you get more cores and more power directed to CPU performance, but it comes at the expense of integrated graphics. That makes sense though, as you’re unlikely to find a laptop with an Alder Lake-HX chip that doesn’t have discrete graphics, since these chips are designed for high-performance gaming laptops and mobile workstations.

The loss of integrated support for Thunderbolt 4 also means that Thunderbolt will be an optional feature for laptop makers, since they’ll have to add a discrete controller for that functionality. Again, given the target market for these chips, I suspect that we will see Alder Lake-HX laptops with Thunderbolt support, but you can’t take it as a given that if a notebook has one of these new chips that it will also have a Thunderbolt port.




Intel says the new Core HX chips will be the final entries in the 12th-gen Intel Core family before the company moves on to 13th-gen processors. For now, there are 7 different chips in the Alder Lake-HX lineup:

Cores      Threads      BaseFreq (P+E)      Turbo    Freq (P+E)    L3 Cache      GPU      TDP   Current draw (basic and turbo modes)

Core i9-12950HX      16 (8P + 8E)      24      2.3 / 1.7 GHz      5.0 / 3.6 GHz      30 MB      32 EU / up to 1.55 GHz      55 W      157 W
Core i9-12900HX      16 (8P + 8E)      24      2.3 / 1.7 GHz      5.0 / 3.6 GHz      30 MB      32 EU / up to 1.55 GHz      55 W      157 W
Core i7-12850HX      16 (8P + 8E)      24      2.1 / 1.5 GHz      4.8 / 3.4 GHz      25 MB      32 EU / up to 1.45 GHz      55 W      157 W
Core i7-12800HX      16 (8P + 8E)      24      2.0 / 1.5 GHz      4.8 / 3.4 GHz      25 MB      32 EU / up to 1.45 GHz      55 W      157 W
Core i7-12650HX      14 (6P + 8E)      20      2.0 / 1.5 GHz      4.7 / 3.3 GHz      24 MB      32 EU / up to 1.45 GHz      55 W      157 W
Core i5-12600HX      12 (4P + 8E)      16      2.5 / 1.8 GHz      4.6 / 3.3 GHz      18 MB      32 EU / up to 1.35 GHz      55 W      157 W
Core i5-12450HX      8 (4P +4E)        12        2.4 / 1.8 GHz      4.4 / 3.1 GHz      12 MB      16 EU / up to 1.3 GHz      55 W      157 W

If you’re wondering why some of those chips have virtually identical specs, it’s because models that end in 50HX are aimed at enterprise customers and include Intel vPro features.


This is the last gasp for lithography equipment built and designed in house by Intel.   From this point going forward, all production equipment will be designed by ASML (Dutch) and designed for production at TSMC (Taiwan).

Intel as you knew it is over now .......   10nm was as small as Intel ever got to run at all and it is clear that scrap rates are overcoming that native Intel 10nm product line at this point.    

There is really only one i5, one i7 and one i9 final 12th gen Intel design CURRENTLY in reality, just one set designed for laptop and one other set for desktop.  All the variants you see listed in this table come from selectively lasering off non-functional graphic sets, non-working i/o systems and misc. other items that are simply not working right just in an attempt to curtail the out of control current draw these last Intel designed chipsets represent.

In the two years Intel has to wait for TSMC to pick them up with a good product on a smaller, more modern lithography you will undoubtedly see several "new, improved, latest, greatest" variations from Intel that are actually lasering stuff off so as to sell the sorted scrap as a processor.

https://liliputing.com/2022/05/lilbits-mips-pivots-to-risc-v-intel-stagers-de...

Also today, MIPS released their plan to completely drop their own MIPS standard and to adopt and to technically support RISC-V for all processor sets going forward.

MIPS might be able to make up a good RISC-V core using their extensive knowledge and that would do more for reversing their corporate fortunes that any amount of old MIPS designs that are going absolutely nowhere right now.



Last year MIPS Technologies announced that it was going to stop designing MIPS processors. That might sound surprising given the company’s name, but maybe it was inevitable when looking at trends in the semiconductor industry.

So MIPS pivoted to RISC-V architecture. And the company’s first chips based on that open instruction set are set to launch later this year. MIPS is promising best-in-class performance, but we’ll likely have to wait until this fall to find out whether the company can deliver on that promise.


What this is good for is to see a RISC-V typical PC class design system run out into the particulars.   It is dirt simple on the chiplet level, memory is local and is small per chiplet.   Chiplets aggregate into an as yet unnamed "cluster something" that can run a function, then the cell design multiplies that "cluster something" a bijillion times to get larger processing capability.

Reminder, MIPS wasn't a world leading company there at their end, and their take on how RISC-V is going to be structured in the long run isn't absolute gospel for anybody but them at this point in time --- so take this structure with a goodly dose of salt.

OK, Intel is not dominant any longer in processor design and manufacture.   As of last month, Intel is not even a leading player using anything they have designed or built for themselves.

Intel is also getting increasing amounts of pushback on their various claims of having made "massive deals" with TSMC and ASML.

All Intel has done is shift all the real processor producers in Taiwan and South Korea over to a philosophy of "bad customers pay upfront in total, including any anticipated scrap rates" production allocation basis for all normal customers.

Apple has a lower cost at TSMC, based on being on board from new lithography concept to production to moving on over to the next new thing.   Apple generally pre-pays for the first lines of a new lithography level and uses those lines exclusively until they move on to the next new one.

AMD has a moderately discounted cost because they order well in advance and pay all the requested amounts up front to place an order.   AMD moves in when Apple leaves a process level, getting a cost based on a paid for known stable production system that is well known and debugged.

Intel pays retail, up front, with larger scrap rate allowances as they attempt to buy into the leading edge of production lithography.

If Intel cannot overcome their very rocky relationship issues with TSMC, Intel will not survive the next decade.

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-share-skyrockets-amid-biggest-quarterly...



Surprisingly, AMD managed to carve out significant wins during the tumultuous quarter and AMD has now, once again, set a new record high x86 market share of 27.7%, an incredible increase of seven percentage points over last year.

Both Intel and AMD suffered from the disturbingly fast decline in the desktop PC market, but AMD didn't lose sales quite as quickly as Intel, resulting in a share gain for the quarter. Notably, much of the decline in desktop PC came as vendors burned through excess CPU inventory at high discounts, which McCarron says impacted Intel more severely than AMD. As such, Intel still gained some unit share in the desktop PC market compared to a year ago, but the gain was quickly overcome by the general decline in the desktop market.

AMD CEO Lisa Su recently predicted that the company would also see a decline in the 'high single-digit' percentage for the desktop PC TAM for the year, indicating that shrinking desktop PC sales could continue.  

AMD would move chiplets from PC over to laptop and enterprise accordingly and AMD would not have to run a fire sale on completed processor sets like Intel is currently doing.

AMD continued to take big strides in the mobile/laptop market as it set another record for unit share in that segment with 22.5%. AMD also gained in the server market for the 12th consecutive quarter, reaching 11.6% of the market.


So, when Intel bogus claims big gains in PC, they are really claiming they lost ground less fast than what was originally thought.   This is not real growth at all.

At best, Intel gained at most one temporary percent point and that was short lived at best.

AMD however has ground out an ongoing very real 7-21% growth in some very bad times making up the growth shown in these non-PC segments, growth results which reflects AMD's strong market position and AMD's very sound products.


===================================================


Intel Meteor Lake details are now surfacing .......   Intel will use two classes of Intel designed and built chiplets based on 10nm and 7nm but will be using their new deceptive nomenclatures and will be using the new Intel power draw metrics that HIDE the real current draws (which are very high) under the newly re-defined Intel current draw metrics.

Intel is absolutely counting on you NOT ACTUALLY KNOWING WHAT YOU ARE BUYING.  
Not that Joe and Rita Sixpack are really caring very much about it either.

Roll Eyes

Intel is currently having a hard time moving their existing inventory of finished PC class products.   AMD is selling through at full price much better compared to Intel as AMD's honest metrics that people can understand are helping AMD to sell their wares.

Intel is already marking down their pre-built PC boxes greatly for the new school year .......

BIG SUPPOSE by Intel is that they can get a usable yield off their old 7nm process, and failing that Intel will place orders on TSMC (and wait) for what they need.

Intel is seeing a future controlled by TSMC allocations just like AMD sees.

TSMC sees building some more American facilities as the US gov requires their chipsets to be made on US soil.   This is slow and expensive to accomplish, and guess who gets to pay for it ........

Samsung is attempting to overcome their recent stumbles on bad processor yields and get a customer to order some processors from them.    

So far, no luck.

New rumors about AMD's 3nm chipsets are coming out in the info flow from oriental suppliers.

Ryzen 3000      Matisse      7nm (Zen 2)      16/32      105W      AM4      500-Series      DDR4-3200      Gen 4.0      2019
Ryzen 5000      Vermeer      7nm (Zen 3)      16/32      105W      AM4      500-Series      DDR4-3200      Gen 4.0      2020
Ryzen 5000 3D      Warhol?      7nm (Zen 3D)      8/16      105W      AM4      500-Series      DDR4-3200      Gen 4.0      2022
Ryzen 7000      Raphael      5nm (Zen 4)      16/32?      105-170W      AM5      600-Series      DDR5-5200/5600?      Gen 5.0      2022
Ryzen 7000 3D      Raphael      5nm (Zen 4)      16/32?      105-170W      AM5      600-Series      DDR5-5200/5600?      Gen 5.0      2023
Ryzen 8000      Granite Ridge      3nm (Zen 5)?      TBA      TBA      AM5      700-Series?      DDR5-5600+      Gen 5.0

Name for the AMD 3nm stuff is Ryzen 8000 Granite Ridge

Intel keeps on frothing about 24 cores (some big some little).   AMD does not see a lot of advantage in lots of little cores once the main core count goes over 10 as minor tasks can be allocated to an idle larger processor just as easily.  

When AMD posts core counts of 16 they are talking larger main performance cores that can support 2-4 threads per core.    Intel little cores can only do one thread at a time.

Next questionable item is how many threads per core is going to be available as AMD has tested up to 4 threads per core ..... but once again AMD did not see much real advantage in the higher thread per core counts right now under existing Microsoft OS systems.   This is also why Linux systems test better than MS systems do right now.  

This is another reason MS sux compared to Linux --- especially in more powerful machines.

If Microsoft creates an OS that actually uses processor threads better, this could all change up fairly rapidly.

AMD has upped the speed of their newest cores to 5.4 gigahertz --- this along with a memory system and an I/O system that is equally fast means better computing throughput overall will be available.

When Intel is behind in a product class (and it so definitely is right now) Intel just copies the leader of that class in great detail.    

Intel has started copying Apple mobile product core designs and Intel is copying AMD's chiplet design patterns for consumer PCs as well.

Intel has lots of legal resources, and once shown a better way forward quickly tries to make that path their own.   Intel will immediately try to patent your better idea or something very close to it then sue you (the real originator) for patent infringement and then settle out of court for "shared rights".

AMD's current Threadripper product line is getting lapped by AMD's normal line up and by Intel's 24 core products so expect it to go away soon.   It may be back later with a new generation of processor chiplets (and when AMD has enough spare chiplet allocations to give to it).

Full AMD Zen road map leaked, giving a peek of what’s coming
By Monica J. White

We’re still months away from the launch of AMD Ryzen 7000 “Zen 4” processors, but new leaks tell us more not just about Zen 4, but also about its successors: AMD Zen 5 and Zen 6.

Although there’s plenty to be excited about with the Zen 4, AMD seems to have even bigger performance jumps in store for us in the future, if the rumored architecture of Zen 5 is anything to go by.

This massive round of leaks comes from YouTube channel Moore’s Law is Dead. Citing anonymous sources, the YouTuber talked about what we can expect in terms of architecture from the upcoming AMD Ryzen chips. This includes both consumer-level chips (AMD Zen 4, Zen 5, and Zen 6) as well as Zen 4C, which is aimed at data centers.

The upcoming AMD Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 CPUs are said to retain a similar architecture to Zen 4 and will bring an upgrade in terms of cores and clock speeds. Zen 4 may bring a significant instruction-per-clock (IPC) boost, ranging from 15% to 24%. Single-threaded operations may see an uplift of 28% to 37%, and the same will be true for multi-threaded performance, although the boost may be even bigger.

As mentioned, clock speeds will definitely be higher in the Zen 4 lineup than they are in AMD’s current arsenal. Twitter user Petykemano has recently spotted what appears to be a very early benchmark of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X. The processor hit 5.2GHz, marking a significant upgrade over its predecessor — the Ryzen 7 5800X can only hit up to 4.7GHz. However, it appears that the Zen 4 CPU retains the same number of cores as the Ryzen 7 5800X, appearing with eight cores and 16 threads in the benchmark. Keep in mind that the listing has since disappeared, so all of this is subject to change.

Zen 4 is also said to double the size of the L2 cache while keeping the L3 cache the same as in Zen 3. Another huge change for AMD, which is not news at this point, is the fact that the processors will finally support PCIe 5.0, DDR5, and LPDDR5. This will remove the edge Intel Alder Lake has had over AMD throughout the year, seeing as Zen 3 doesn’t support these technologies. On the downside, the rumor mill has been buzzing with the news that Zen 4 may have no DDR4 support whatsoever.

Lastly, the Zen 4 lineup will cover a vast range of processors. The DIY market will receive a full range of Ryzen 7000 Raphael CPUs sometime in the second half of 2022. Laptop users have AMD Ryzen 7000 Dragon Range and Phoenix to look forward to, with both set to release in early 2023. There are also AMD EPYC Genoa 7004 processors set to launch in the fourth quarter of 2022 and Threadripper 7000 Storm Peak in the first half of 2023.

Following Zen 4, AMD will release the 5nm-based Zen 4C, which will target data centers. While the AMD Genoa will utilize Zen 4 cores, the follow-up AMD Bergamo will switch to Zen 4C, bringing the core count up to 128 cores (whereas Genoa will max out at 96). Bergamo will also offer up to 256 threads, and it will be compatible with the same LGA 6096 socket as its predecessor. We can also expect 12-channel memory support.

We’re done with Zen 4, but there’s more to talk about, namely the future. AMD Zen 5 is still a while away, but all the sources cited by Moore’s Law is Dead expect it to arrive only 11 to 15 months after the launch of Zen 4. While that’s a short time, the CPUs are said to bring major upgrades, with a performance leap as big as Zen 2.

Zen 5 is said to come with a full architectural redesign, resulting in a huge IPC boost, seemingly larger than what the switch from Zen 3 to Zen 4 will bring. On the other hand, the clock speeds will not change much, but we will see changes made to the data fabric and a fully reorganized cache design. AMD’s Zen 5 processors are rumored to be based on TSMC’s N3 or N4P process node.

The first Zen 5 product line to ship may be the EPYC Turin CPU, set to arrive in the second half of 2023. The consumer-level products won’t appear for a while, with Ryzen 8000 Granite Ridge (desktop) expected in late 2024 and Ryzen 8000 Strix Point (laptop APU) in early 2025.

As for AMD Zen 6, we’re still a long while away from its launch, and by the time it’s released, it may not even be called “Zen” anymore. The naming convention seems to be a bit up in the air, but things on the specification front are quite exciting, including higher core counts and clock speeds, a new cache design, new accelerators, and more.



We got Intel going silent as AMD laps their best big little 10nm stuff.   Intel desperately needs a fresh new lithography and is asking TSMC to provide it for them at TSMC 3nm ---- which is years away at this point in time.

See AMD continue taking even more market share from Intel with this action to continue until Intel has a for real better product to sell.

Intel's response is to put out "more Intel marketing" which smells like more puffs of brown vapor and hidden higher current draw BS run off of 10nm and eventually on Intel 7nm whenever/if ever they get it running right.

AMD is now running chiplets off 5nm nodes at TSMC right now for real and is shipping sample processors built with them.
