AMD's Ryzen 4000 desktop processors will be "extremely powerful" thanks to major advances in the Zen 3 architecture they're built on, a company executive recently said. The comment was made by Forrest Norrod, a senior vice president at AMD, during the Deutsche Bank 2020 conference call, Seeking Alpha reported. Norrod said: “So you know the first Zen 1 Core was amazing and extremely deep, but so was Zen 2. And Zen 3, which is at the heart of our next-generation products, is also an extremely powerful architecture, and you know exactly the way we need to go. There's certainly no question of confidence behind the wise choice of formulating Zen 3's exact power, and thus the kind of power we can expect from next-gen Ryzen 4000 chips. AMD recently informed us that there will be a first reveal of the Zen 3 desktop processors on October 8, so we should know a lot more about the Ryzen 4000 processors very soon. This will be followed by another event on October 28 where AMD will introduce Big Navi graphics cards.
