According to official road map, AMD in the Zen architecture based on the first generation of Ryzen processor, will bring the Zen + architecture in April of the second generation.
Although the Zen + architecture is upgraded to a 12nm process, the frequency and energy efficiency indications are further enhanced, but the notion of improved optimization is even more pronounced.
According to Spanish technology website Informatica Cero broke the news, a road map leaked AMD future Zen architecture, and according to the part of the product type, respectively, gives the family code.
The first generation of Zen is already known, such as the high-end consumer level is ThreadRipper (not the core of the CPU is Summit Ridge.) Note here, Bristol Ridge APU is only the AM4 interface, support for DDR4 memory and the main 2017 Ship it, the real Zen architecture is the eighth generation Raven Ridge (Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 3 2200G).
For the Zen+ architecture, the code name for the processor is Pinnacle Ridge (confirmed) and there will be a second generation thread tearer product.
Zen 2 architecture processor code Matisse (Mattis), APU's code name is Picasso (Picasso), TR is redesigned as 'Castle Peak'.
The processor code for the Zen 3 architecture is Vermeer, and the APU code is Renoir (Renoir).
Friends who are familiar with the history of art should know that Matisse, Picasso and Renoir are well-known European painters. It appears that AMD has taken a romantic approach after surpassing the 'Mountain' code.
Zen+'s mainstream CPU part, through the recent time Ryzen 7 2700X/2700 broke the news has been very clear, speed up the main frequency can be stable 4GHz +, IPC further improved.
Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000?) is AMD's first generation 7nm. How does it perform?
The 'former girlfriend' Globalfoundries also made a forward look, according to CTO Gary Patton. 7nm compared to 14nm, the chip area will be 1/2.7, while the theoretical frequency is stable at 5GHz without pressure.
The Summit Ridge-based AMD 8-core Die is 213mm2, in other words, the 7nm Ryzen 3000 achieves 8 cores requiring only 80mm2.
