Is AMD's Zen 4 coming up based on 5nm and Navi 2?

A new leak has claims that AMD's future CPUs, with Zen 4 in the light.

Raphael, AMD Ryzen 7000 lineup, will be AM5, Zen 4, with Navi 2x iGPU and they will be based on 5nm. Ryzen 7000 will most likely launch in 2022 or 2023 and will be AMD's first desktop CPU to be based on 5 nm and also with integrated graphics in the first mainstream processor. Its first chip will more probably be on PCIe 5.0. With Zen 4, RDNA 2 will become available on the entire product stack, until now AMD had Vega iGPUs and RDNA2 in RYzen 5000 mobile lineup.

Going to 5nm, AMD could lose some die space to incorporate integrated graphics, latency, power consumption, compared to other chips but these disadvantages don't matter much as AMD could fit 12 or 16 cores on a desktop CPU at low costs and also will bring DDR5 and AM5.

With Integrated Graphics AMD could take a lead in markets other than gaming, where graphics card aren't needed for performance, mainly being businesses or such, currently, Intel's most processors come with integrated graphics so it is sold more in these markets as discrete graphics card arent needed in those, but now with AMD's integrated graphics, things could change and be bad news for Intel, so there will be almost no reason for ITs or costumers to buy Intel over AMD.


Well that was what going on with Zen 4, but AMD still has plans for Zen 3, as the next generation according to leaks, Ryzen 6000 lineup will be based on 6nm Zen 3+ architecture.

By the time Zen 4 will arrive, we will get a new AM 5 socket, with other features like DDR5, LPDDR5, USB 4.0 potentials, and PCIe 5.0.

The roadmap also indicates to AMD's Ryzen 7000 mobile processors, code a name Pheonix to come on desktop, with a newer GPU RDNA 3, and will achieve 50% more performance than RDNA 2, every Zen 4 Chip will contain 128-256 GPU cores, well these are just rumours so could be higher or lower.

Well, this was Zen 4 Ryzen lineups, AMD also plans to bring EPYC Zen 4, named Genoa, with an IPC gain of 25% and a potential 40% gain in performance, and 5GHz of clock speed!! And according to some sources, Genoa will be 29% after Milan (Zen 3) with the same cores and clock speeds. The 4th Gen EPYC Genoa can be expected to come with up to 96 cores or even higher, pushing all the boundaries.

NOTE : All of these leaks are not confirmed so the numbers may vary, maybe higher or lower
