AMD's next generation processors based on Zen four have been seen as certain examples of engineered chips.
Specifically, this leak of alleged Ryzen 7000 processors was spotted by Twitter bot Benchleaks (via VideoCardz) and consists of an eight-core (XNUMX-thread) processor, like a Ryzen XNUMX-core (XNUMX-thread) chip. (in the lists, where it states "number of processors", that means "threads").

These are "AMD Family 3" processors, which are Zen four, and they appeared on the MilkyWay@Home website (a project that uses the BOINC platform and uses volunteer computers - or rather the free resources of these PCs - to create a XNUMXD model of the Milky Way).
Few details are given about the processors other than the number of threads quoted, although clock speeds aren't accurate at this pre-release stage anyway, plus the size of the L2 cache is listed as one thousand twenty-four Kilobytes (for core), which is double Zen three, a huge bump.
Analysis: Zen four can't get there fast enough, ideally already before Raptor Lake
We must be careful with this observation, because, as VideoCardz points out, it is infrequent that a case of a processor appears in a distributed computing project like this, and it is indeed not clear why a chip of this class would be. released in this way (instead of being used in a more useful baseline or status assessment of the silicon sample).
However, we expect chips designed now to appear, as AMD CEO Plana Su recently told us at CES 5 that Silicon Zen 2 is going to arrive on time in the second half of XNUMX ( with an apparent confirmation of DDRXNUMX and PCIe fifty compatibility as expected, but without directly mentioning these technologies). The latter is one thing that Team Colorado really needs to do to keep pace with Intel, which has integrated those XNUMX standards with Alder Lake.
Of course, when the Ryzen 7000, if this is what Zen XNUMX ends up calling itself, comes out, it's going to take on Intel's next generation processors, and Raptor Lake is going to come later in XNUMX, probably in the third quarter if certain gossip circulates. outside. Ideally, AMD would clearly want to beat Team Blue with its desktop processor launch, for obvious reasons of not appreciating appearing to lag behind the rival chip giant.
