Threadripper / Chagall
The biggest (basically literally) novelty will be the new generation of Threadripper. Architecture will enter the HEDT and workstation segment Zen 3. This means a 19% higher IPC and a common cache for every eight cores, which could have a certain positive impact when used under Windows, which does not go smoothly with more cores and a higher number of L3 caches. Another change is the 12.5% faster connection between chipsets; the xGMI2 interface will be accelerated from the current 16 GT / s to 18 GT / s.
Ryzen G / Cezanne
As Zen 3 will enter the segment of multi-core processors, so it should (finally) get into the retail segment of desktop APUs. Zen 2 it fell out of it due to insufficient production capacity, but in the case Zen 3 AMD promises to issue an APU Cezanne in August. So (up to) eight cores Zen 3 with integrated graphics.
37% (1.15 × 1.19) IPC compared to Ryzen 5 2400G in combination with 18% higher maximum clock speed (4.6 compared to 3.9 GHz) means up to ~ 60% higher single core performance. Multi-core performance can theoretically shift up to 2.9 × (1.06 × clock, 1.37 × IPC, 2 × number of cores). Surprisingly, it works in practice, the Ryzen 5 2400G achieves 4800 points in the CineBench R23 and samples of the desktop Cezanne 14350 points (2.99 × more), so we can really talk about an upgrade. Even on the side of the graphics core, you probably can’t expect more than a third of the performance shift.
Radeon RX 6600 XT / Navi 23
Unlike the official release of the APU’s August release, the August release of mainstream Radeon is an unofficial rumor. However, with regard to certain leaks (existing, but not yet very intense), August seems likely. The graphics card should replace the Radeon RX 5700 XT with plus or minus performance and deliver performance similar to the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. In contrast, it will offer lower power consumption, support for new video formats and DirectX 12 specifications.
