Release date: There are no official launch dates and I can honestly say I'm not under embargo here either, but … Then came Zen+ in April 2018, which shifted to a 12nm node and made up the second generation Ryzen 2000 series.
AMD plans to launch a 64-core Threadripper CPU in 2020. AMD set to release first CDNA GPU in late 2020, but does not expect to become a significant revenue contributor immediately. Well, if AMD can execute on both fronts (CPUs and GPUs), gamers will have a wealth of options to choose from, not just in the immediate future but also beyond.
This has to do with how its manufacturing partner TSMC labels its process nodes.Meanwhile, AMD is confident it can maintain its current trajectory, which is good news for consumers. What's interesting, though, is AMD's shift away from the "+" designation. Remember, the smaller the manufacturing process, more power efficient the transistors, and the more you can fit onto a chip.
Like the 3900X before it, the 3950X is a major milestone for AMD because, for the first time in more than 15 years, AMD can offer a top-tier mainstream CPU …
If that happens, even when Intel jumps back ahead (with 7nm or 5nm), AMD is essentially saying it won't be like the past, when its products were simply less capable and less desirable than Intel's. For the PC, AMD has already said it plans to release RDNA 2 products this year. AMD Ryzen 3000-series processor ... the publication also pointed to a release date for the other most anticipated CPU release this year. The company does not project its first CDNA GPU to significantly contribute to its revenues in 2020. We'll have to wait a little bit longer to see if that changes.There was a problem. And fortunately, production does seem to be on track. During the presentation, AMD stated its goal is to always have a competitive product in the wild, another one in development, and yet another one in the design phase. "Once you have a gap and some of the issues that may cause a delay in a new technology, it's gonna take some time," Papermaster said.What does this all mean for PC gaming?
But with the introduction of its Zen CPU architecture in 2017 and, to perhaps a lesser extent (for now), its Navi GPU architecture, there is genuine excitement and optimism for its products, which hadn't existed since the Athlon 64 days. According to AMD, it brought a 50 percent uplift in performance per watt compared to its previous generation GCN architecture.©Future US, Inc. 11 West 42nd Street, 15th Floor,New York,NY 10036.AMD is not adopting the Big Navi nomenclature that is commonly used in headlines, and is instead rolling with "Navi 2X" for its RDNA 2 GPUs. CPU release dates in the table above were compiled from product press releases and official price lists.
