The new generation of processors AMD must come to compete, and why not double, the Intel Alder Lake and Raptor Lake.
While Intel seems pessimistic about a return to “normal” for the semiconductor market in the short term, AMD does not seem determined to review its plans. The publication of a new roadmap confirms a lot of information previously revealed.
Raphael CPU (Ryzen 7000) for 2022
First, it is obviously the successors of the Ryzen 5000 series based on Zen 3 cores that are expected. It must be said that despite all their qualities, they are abused by the latest generation Intel. In addition, AMD had promised a facelift.
The Zen 4 microarchitecture should therefore come out before the end of this year. However, AMD did not wish to corroborate the latest rumors which evoke a launch by the end of the summer. For the time being, the slot remains a vague “2022”.
Raphael processors for desktop PCs will therefore incorporate Zen 4 cores, but they will also benefit from other new features. Socket AM5 (or LGA1718) will make its debut, and AMD will take advantage of this to integrate support for PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5.
Dragon Range and Phoenix from 2023
AMD’s new roadmap doesn’t stop at just the next few months, however, and in addition to the end of 2022, it also covers the year 2023 with two momentous releases.
Next year, AMD actually plans to release components capable of powering laptops. extreme gaming “. This ambitious program will be based on Dragon Range chips, mobile CPUs primarily intended for gaming and equipped with a maximum of 16 cores.
An integrated graphics solution is planned, because AMD has decided to follow the path traced by Intel by offering “most often” CPUs with an associated graphics part. We will not know more for the moment, except that Dragon Range will also be compatible with PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5.
Finally, for thinner laptops, the ” thin & light AMD also has a component on its roadmap. Called Phoenix, it should also tumble in 2023 and should have a thermal envelope limited to 35/45 W. Again, PCIe Gen 5 and LPDDR5 are on the program.
