At CES at the beginning of the year, AMD officially previewed Zen 4 and promised that the Ryzen 7000 processor would debut in the second half of the year.
According to the revelation of hardware expert Greymon55, the Ryzen 7000 will be put into mass production at the end of this month and will be officially launched later in the third quarter, that is, from August to September.
Of course, considering the current tight supply and demand situation in the semiconductor industry, it is difficult to determine the time to market, and even the official announcement may be delayed. Let’s pay more attention to the underlying architecture of the processor, after all, it must be completely finalized by now.
Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 family code name Raphael (Raphael), corresponding to the 16th century Italian artist Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino. AMD has previously revealed that,The architectural change and IPC increase between Zen 4 and Zen 3 are not inferior to Zen 3 and Zen 2, so at least 19%the premise here is that the number of cores remains the same.
But considering the 5nm process and the larger AM5 socket, to whom is the extra space for the CPU chip allocated?
It was said before that,The Ryzen 7000 will integrate a GPU unit for the first time, and now there are careful media to find new clues in a patent submitted by AMD in 2020 and only recently published, which mentions the content of 3D stacking AI accelerators for the processor.
One guess is that this AI accelerator is a GPU, which is integrated in the 6nm I/O Die. Some analysts believe that AI accelerators come in various forms, and can also be NPU or FPGA.
In fact, AMD’s acceleration card Instinct MI250X already had an AI acceleration module before, and rival Intel introduced DLBoost on Xeon earlier. As the brain of the computer, it seems that AMD should attach great importance to the importance of the AI-specific unit.
As for 3D stacking, the specific implementation may be similar to the 3D cache already on the Ryzen 7 5800X3D.
