AMD Announces Ryzen 5000 Us Today; Intel Plans Response
As announced, AMD Ryzen 5000 Us based on the Zen 3 architecture will be officially revealed today. Simultaneously, Intel has confirmed the release of Rocket Lake-S chips.
A month ago, AMD announced that on October 8 an official presentation of next-gen Zen-based Us will take place. The announcement of desktop Ryzens 5000 (Vermeer) will take place today at 9 AM PT. The event with Dr. Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, will be shown below. During the presentation we will learn about the specs, prices and the release date of the processors. We will also learn about the changes that the new architecture will bring, and perhaps we will hear a little about the expected performance, but we will have to wait longer for independent benchmarks. They should appear closer to the launch of this new hardware.
Ryzen 5000 instead of Ryzen 4000 - when on sale?
Soe may ask: where did Ryzen 4000 series go? Apparently AMD decided to skip them, so as not to confuse the desktop Us with the AMD Ryzen 4000 Renoir series, based on an older architecture (Zen 2). These are APUs, or processors with integrated Radeon GPU. we expect a significant increase over the previous generation.
When will Intel respond? We know when Rocket Lake-S Us will be released.
We've known for some time that the Intel Rocket Lake-S processors are due to debut in early 2021. The plans have not changed, with the release of 11th generation Intel Core chipsets for PC being scheduled for the first quarter of next year. It is reported to take place in mid-March.
It's worth mentioning that Rocket Lake-S will be Inte's first desktop Us to introduce PCIe 4.0 (two years after AMD). Along with the new Us, the market will see motherboards based on 500 series chipsets (Z590, H570, B560 and H510). The Us will be compatible with the LGA 1200 series socket, so owners of current 400 series motherboards will be able to upgrade. Finally, Rocket Lake-S is to be the last Intel chipsets to use the (improved) 14-nanometer process. Larger changes, such as for PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 memory, will only come from Intel Alder Lake-S processors, which will be released in the second half of 2021.
