Since the launch of the first Ryzen processors, AMD has been steadily catching up with Intel’s share of desktop CPUs in use, with\u00a0a major German retailer claiming that 84% of its CPU sales in August 2020 were AMD Ryzen. While Intel is preparing its new 11th generation Core processors<\/a> by the code name of Rocket Lake, AMD is getting ready to launch its new Zen 3 based CPUs, looking to maximize its advantage.<\/p>\n

The official Zen 3 reveal and launch announcement will take place on October 8, just under three weeks before AMD<\/a> will unveil its new RDNA 2 powered graphics cards. While there are plenty of leaks and rumors around, there is enough solid information about to\u00a0strongly hint at what will be unveiled.<\/p>\n

AMD is sensibly sticking with the hugely successful Ryzen brand for the Zen 3 based CPUs and is expected to continue the existing generation numbering.\u00a0Zen 3\u00a0will be the fourth iteration of Ryzen, so it should be named the Ryzen 4000 Series. AMD is expected to continue using the 3, 5, 7, and 9 designations,\u00a0with the same 100 to 950 model numbering to allow people to compare the range with Intel’s competitors. Similarly, the X and XT designations for\u00a0variants with boosted clock speeds are likely to remain. It would be a major surprise for AMD to change any naming conventions given its current performance in the market.<\/p>\n

The performance battle between AMD and Intel is currently mixed<\/a>, with the high number of cores on the Zen 2 based Ryzen 3000\u00a0Series having an advantage for heavy work tasks such as video editing,\u00a0while Intel’s higher clock speeds provide a\u00a0slight advantage in gaming performance. Rumors suggest that\u00a0AMD will reveal\u00a0Zen 3 processors\u00a0with\u00a0a clock speed boost of 200-300 MHz, which could reduce or eliminate the gaming performance gap, while boosting further the advantage in work related tasks.<\/p>\n

Despite the name, Zen 3 is a new architecture, so is likely to provide a bigger performance boost than Zen 2, which already boosted the number of Instruction Per Clock the CPUs could handle by 15%. By moving from a 7 nm to 7 nm+ process for manufacture, AMD will reportedly gain 20% in transistor density and 10% power reduction in power consumption, while Intel’s new chips are expected to use the older 14 nm process. If d AMD leads the line-up with a 16 core, 32 thread Ryzen 9 4950X running at 4.9GHz as expected, the combination of clock boost and instruction efficiencies could see Intel’s gaming advantage vanish.<\/p>\n

While the launch of Zen 2 saw the introduction of 12 and 16 core processors, with 24 and 32 threads respectively, AMD is not expected to announce a CPU with any more cores than this. Leaks have reportedly shown the flagship\u00a0Ryzen 9 4950X to have 16 cores and 32 threads. Given that the future Zen 4 hardware will use a new socket, and that\u00a0AMD is already in a commanding position versus Intel before Zen 3 even launches, it will almost certainly\u00a0wait until the next generation of hardware before jumping to 18, 20, or even 24 cores as seen on the least\u00a0costly Threadripper chip.<\/p>\n

Waiting until the next generation will allow the extra cores to be paired with faster memory and other advances to better compete with Intel’s 11th and 12th generation chips, which are\u00a0currently expected\u00a0to launch in late 2020 and 2021 respectively. Given the lack of specific information about the full range though, it is unlikely but possible that AMD could announce\u00a0added cores for the rest of the range, moving from 4 to 6, 6 to 8, 8 to 10 or 12, and 12 to 16. More likely would be an additional 10 core product to expand the range.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

When the Zen 2 based Ryzen 3000 Series launched, the prices were comparable to the launch prices of the 2000 Series. Given the continuing sales success AMD is experiencing, it could afford to raise prices for the new hardware without damaging its sales performance. However, it is unlikely that AMD will raise prices by any significant margin, as it knows that Intel’s 11th Core processors are due out soon, and it will want to sell as many CPUs as it can before then.<\/p>\n

The expectation is\u00a0that\u00a0AMD will announce\u00a0pricing\u00a0very close to the\u00a0Ryzen 3000 launch prices, with perhaps a $10 to $20 increase on the higher end chips. It is also likely the launch will be supported with a price drop for the\u00a0older generation hardware, making it a great time for gamers to upgrade even if they aren’t looking at Zen 3 or don’t have a compatible motherboard.<\/p>\n

While AMD is expected to move to a new\u00a0microarchitecture and socket design for Zen 4,\u00a0AMD have already announced that Zen 3 CPUs will work with existing AM4 socket motherboards, providing that they are 400 or 500 Series. The 400 Series motherboards will need to go through an update process, which may not be available at launch. The 400 Series motherboards were originally not supported, but AMD has decided to add support due to demand from gamers, although AMD recommends using a 500 Series motherboard for best performance.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

It is unlikely that AMD will announce an immediate launch at the October 8 reveal, as typically gamers will expect to wait a couple of weeks from\u00a0reveal to launch date. It is unknown whether the launch will be staggered, five CPUs were available at launch day for Zen 2, with the flagship Ryzen 9 3950X launching four months later, followed by boosted XT variants a year after the launch date. There are also rumors that AMD may tie the launches of Zen 3 and the RDNA 2 powered RX 6000 Series graphics cards together to maximize sales for those looking to build all new PCs as well as just upgrade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the expectation for any hardware launch is that stock will be limited at first, AMD’s RDNA 2 based graphics\u00a0chips have the additional problem of being\u00a0required for use in three\u00a0soon-to-be launched consoles, the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X<\/a>. However, the same issue does not apply to the CPUs as the\u00a0new consoles are using Zen 2 processors rather than Zen 3, and as\u00a0both use differing manufacturing processes. Expectations are that\u00a0AMD will be able to get at least a reasonable amount of stock to market before the end of the year.<\/p>\n

AMD’s\u00a0Zen 3 CPUs<\/strong>\u00a0are expected to launch starting in\u00a0October as the Ryzen 4000 Series.<\/p>\n
