AMD Zen 2 release date, CPU specs, and performance
The AMD Zen 2 processor architecture is the next-gen 7nm CPU design set to land mid-year in an AMD Ryzen 3000 shaped package. They will also be the first 7nm x86 processors to hit the consumer market too… long before Intel can even get its own 10nm chips out the door. The Zen 2 architecture represents a brand new, unique approach to AMD’s CPU design and promises to really turn the screw on its Intel competition, both in terms of overall core-count and in its relative performance.
AMD has confirmed a mid-year release for the new Zen 2 CPU design - which we expect to mean a Computex announcement - and has unveiled some of the architectural magic which promises to make the next-gen AMD processors the best the company has ever produced. These advances may also make them potentially the most advanced CPUs on the market when they launch.
Along with the new 7nm process node, AMD is taken a modular approach, still utilising some 14nm silicon in the design to keep costs down and yields high. This new approach will allow the company to double the core density of the architecture, which could potentially mean 16-core chips hitting our desktops. Quite what we’d do with those extra cores in our gaming rigs, I don’t really know, but it would comfortably increase both the core-count and process node lead over Intel.
