Recently, many rumors have pointed out thatAMDZen 4 V-Cache processors won’t be released until 2023, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
In other words, the AM5 platform is likely to usher in the Ryzen 7000 standard / 3D V-Cache version of the CPU SKU based on the Zen 4 core architecture at the same time, and the latter is expected to become the secret weapon against Intel’s 13th-generation Core (Raptor Lake).
With the Ryzen R7-5800X3D, AMD has proven that it can beat Intel’s 12th Gen Core (Alder Lake) flagship gaming processors in price-to-performance ratio with 3D V-Cache cache stacking technology.
Even if Zen 4’s IPC performance gains are limited, the higher clock speeds and the addition of the 3D V-Cache stack are expected to give AMD a lead in gaming performance.
Intel Raptor Lake does add internal cache, but AMD’s deployment of 3D V-Cache is far more exaggerated, and we’re looking forward to an interesting battle between the two manufacturers in the consumer CPU space.
In addition, AMD confirmed some key details of the Zen 4 CPU. The first is that the Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors will use the 5nm process node, supplemented by 8-10% IPC performance improvement (compared to Zen 3), and more than 15% % single-threaded performance improvement.
In terms of memory bandwidth, the full switch from DDR4 to DDR5 memory controller can increase the bandwidth of each Zen 4 core by 125%. There are also significant performance-per-watt and frequency improvements, AI and AVX-512 instruction set extensions, and more.
Finally, it was reported earlier that AMD Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors (and the accompanying AM5 chipset motherboard) will be officially launched on September 15. Intel Raptor Lake is expected to arrive in October of this year, and then Zen 4 3D V-Cache is expected to arrive later in November-December.
