Earlier today, AMD <\/strong>released more information regarding the upcoming next-generations consoles and their new Zen 3<\/strong>-based and even Zen 4<\/strong>-based CPUs. While AMD <\/strong>has been making unprecedented progress in the hardware market, this news comes as a bummer<\/em> to many PC connoisseurs. In May, AMD <\/strong>revealed their B550<\/a> <\/strong>motherboards and many rumours began circulating regarding the upcoming AMD Ryzen 4000<\/strong>-series CPUs. One of these rumours was that these CPUs would be based on AMD’s <\/strong>next-generation 5nm architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, this was innovative, since Intel <\/strong>is still stuck on its 14nm architecture and this would make AMD <\/strong>even more coveted in the hardware community. However, recent presentations from AMD <\/strong>seem to state otherwise. AMD <\/strong>has released new slides<\/a> that confirm that the Zen 3<\/strong>-based CPUs will continue to use the 7nm architecture. Hence, we would have to wait until 2021 or 2022 to see much-anticipated 5nm CPUs. Now, this comes as a disappointment to AMD <\/strong>supporters, as Intel <\/strong>might already be at par with AMD <\/strong>by then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Has AMD Revealed About Their Zen 3-Based CPUs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the upcoming 5nm architecture will set AMD <\/strong>apart from the competition, it does not seem possible any time soon. We’re not certain if AMD <\/strong>has manufactured 5nm CPUs yet. But, rumours do suggest that the next-generation consoles will feature the 5nm chipsets. According to AMD’s <\/strong>recent slides, the 5nm architecture will only be featured in the Zen 4<\/strong>-based CPUs, which could release in 2021 or even 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
