AMD Roadmap: Outlook on Zen 5 and RDNA 4

AMD Roadmap: Outlook on Zen 5 and RDNA 4


from Andrew Link
AMD also gave a glimpse of Zen 5 and RDNA 4 at the Financial Day. Both are still a long way off and information about them is vague, but with Zen 5 in particular, it was elicited that performance and efficiency goals, among other things, could be achieved with the conversion of the front end are to be implemented.

AMD also published updated roadmaps for Financial Day, which give an outlook on upcoming projects. We had already briefly touched on RDNA 4 in another report and there wasn’t much to say here either, except that AMD classifies the graphics card generation after next from 2024 with an “Advanced Process Node”. Anything beyond that is speculation. However, based on the development of RDNA 3, one would assume that the chiplet design would become increasingly important.

In general, the processors were a little more willing to provide information. Zen 4 will start in autumn, AMD has confirmed it with V-Cache – so a Ryzen 7 7800X3D is conceivable. Zen 4 will also switch to RDNA graphics chips, which should bring a good boost in terms of architecture alone. Zen 4c is also mentioned, these are the density-optimized cores mentioned above, with which AMD can implement 128 cores and 256 threads at Bergamo. Whether the cores will also appear in a real hybrid design like Intel’s is uncertain at the moment. But AMD’s approach also differs from what Intel is going for with Core (for P) and Atom cores (for E). AMD’s density-optimized C cores support the full Zen 4 instruction set.

<h2 class=Zen 5 with new front end

The exact same set-up also applies to Zen 5, which is listed on the timeline as 2024 and beyond and will be offered in 4 and 3 nm respectively. Architecturally, a larger leap in the compute area is expected for Zen 5 than for Zen 4, where the clock was mainly turned and DDR5 and PCI Express 5.0 as well as an IGP and EXPO are being introduced. Now that all that, including socket swapping, is off the table, Zen 5 can invest more time elsewhere. AMD says it will meet performance and efficiency targets by utilizing a redesigned front end and increased output width, as well as adding machine learning and artificial intelligence. The latter is helped by the Xilinx takeover and the Infinite Fabric introduced for chiplet design, which is now to be expanded for new possibilities – including CXL and UCIe.

AMD also insisted on addressing its current favorite topic: efficiency. One of the few slides with direct comparisons to the competition cites higher transistor density, lower power consumption and significantly better power output. As always with such stocks, however, they are handpicked. The cross-sectional truth will lie somewhere in the middle. With these values, it is also helpful that AMD is switching to RDNA technology for the IGPs, which are much more modern. RDNA 2 already started with Zen 3 (Ryzen 6000); Zen 4 (Phoenix Point) uses RDNA 3 technology – at least for notebooks – and Zen 5 (Strix Point) uses RDNA 3+.
