AMD today announced that it will host a couple of consumer product launches in November. The chipmaker, which has been fairly quiet since spring, will hold events for the Ryzen CPU and Radeon GPU product segments. Entitled “A New Journey Begins,” the company will announce the first products based on its highly anticipated Zen 3 CPU architecture and RDNA 2 GPU architecture.
Leading the charge will be AMD’s CPU division. October 8th At noon ET, the company will present its Zen 3-based Ryzen desktop processors. AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su will be among the presenters.
Next, just under 3 weeks later, will be AMD’s Radeon presentation, which is again at noon Eastern. There, the company will showcase its first products based on the company’s upcoming RDNA 2 GPU architecture. In the meantime, bowing its hand a bit before naming, AMD has confirmed that it will be called the Radeon RX 6000 series.
Next Gen Ryzen Desktop Processors – 10/8, 12 PM ET
We’re very excited to invite you to learn more about the next wave of Ryzen desktop processors with “Zen 3” architecture, taking our leadership in PC gaming and content creation to new heights. Dr. Lisa Su and other senior AMD executives will begin this new journey for “Zen 3” and AMD Ryzen at 12 p.m. ET, October 8th.
Next-Gen Radeon Graphics: 10/28, 12 PM ET
Preparing to delight gamers around the world with the next horizon of Radeon Graphics, we invite you to learn more about our RDNA 2 architecture, Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards, and our deep collaboration with game developers and ecosystem partners. that will help us bring the best of Radeon to gamers. Tune in to the reveal of the future of Radeon PC gaming to 12 p.m. ET, October 28th.
AMD hasn’t revealed any other details about these events at this time, but for the past few months, the manufacturer has shared bits and pieces of information related to its upcoming chip architectures. Based on AMD’s roadmaps, the Ryzen Zen 3 processors will be built on an improved version of TSMC’s 7nm process, likely TSMC’s N7P process given AMD’s comments clarifying that they do not commit to EUV for 7nm . Otherwise, for the moment AMD is keeping its lips closed on the Zen 3 architecture itself, although since AMD will not reap the benefits of a full node downsizing, we expect Zen 3 to provide some interesting and significant architectural improvements. about Zen 2.
Meanwhile, on the graphics front, AMD and its partners have previously confirmed that RDNA 2 will be a DirectX 12 Ultimate compliant GPU architecture (feature level 12_2), which means that AMD will make significant changes to the graphics side. graphics from your GPU layouts. The Navi 2x family of GPUs will get support for ray tracing, variable speed shading and other features that will put AMD’s new GPUs on par with the competition for both consoles and PCs. Meanwhile, from a performance standpoint, AMD is aiming for a sizable 50% increase in performance per watt, which could bridge the efficiency gap with NVIDIA. Also, the company previously promised a high-end GPU for 4K gaming, so we’re expecting some ambitious performance targets from AMD.
Be sure to register on October 8th and October 28th for more details on the next generation of consumer parts from AMD.
