AMD’s CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, made headlines with the company’s talk at CES 2022 when she revealed that AMD Zen 4processors will be launched in the second half of 2022.
In addition, it seems that Su has confirmed that Zen 4 will not only have support for DDR5, but also the new PCIe 5.0 standard.
“Like the Ryzen 6000 mobile, the next generation of our Ryzen desktop processors will be paired with next-generation memory and connectivity technologies, to deliver the ultimate experience,” said Dr. Su from the edge of the stage.
If Dr. Su actually refers to DDR5 and PCIe 5.0, then the Ryzen 7000 series will be well placed to tackle Intel’s Alder Lake processors later this year, as more and more DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 compatible devices are launched , such as SSDs.
Comment: AMD is late, but probably hours Zen 4 well
There has been a lot of speculation about when AMD would come with its next processor series, now that rival Intel has its latest pieces in stores.
Intel launched its first 12th generation processors in November 2021, so it may seem that rivals have gained a solid edge over AMD’s Zen 4, but since DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 products are long overdue, Intel’s lead with Age Lake provided a limited advantage.
Most of the DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 hardware that most people are likely to buy will not be released until later in the year, so the AMD Zen 4 launch may end up taking place at a time that coincides to a greater extent. with the upgrade cycle to many.
AMD is still legally late, but since the new chips combine a 5 nm process with technology such as 3D V-Cache, it is quite possible that AMD manages to impress, despite Intel’s lead.
