AMD Zen 3, Ryzen 4000 Release Date, Specifications, Performance, All We Know:

Aside from an AMD presentation about the Zen 3 architecture that was accidentally posted to YouTube, the company hasn't publicly shared specifics about the design. However, the company has shared plenty of information about Zen 3's schedule, and a string of leaks has shed further light on the soon-to-be-released architecture. And we'll learn the first in-depth details of the new Zen 3 chips on 10/8/2020 at 10am PT.

[...] AMD Zen 3, Ryzen 4000 At A Glance

  • TSMC N7P or N7+ process
  • 32+ MB of unified L3 cache
  • Multi-Chip Module (MCM) design
  • Up to 64 cores for data center chips
  • AMD will announce details about Zen 3 and Ryzen 4000 on 10/8/2020
  • First client (desktop and/or laptop) chips arrive in late 2020
  • EPYC Milan data center chips arrive in late 2020
  • Full desktop, laptop and server Zen 3 lineups in market by the end of 2021
  • Pricing is the wild card, but AMD has increased pricing with recent launches

[...] AMD has consistently swatted away rumors that its Zen 3 chips are delayed and has clarified that its chips wouldn't use TSMC's 5nm process. AMD has long maintained that it's Zen 3 chips would come to market this year, which makes sense given the Zen 3 EPYC Milan data center chips on the roadmap. The company later clarified that Zen 3 "client" chips would also come to market this year. That's an important distinction, with the term "client" signifying that we'll see chips for regular consumers this year, too.

    But they were selling cheap 8086 (yes actual 8086!) battery powered notebooks with dos and like 40x20 character screens in the early 1990s. In fact the only thing that killed them off was the lack of I/O for getting files to/from them, and the lack of storage at that time that could fit in the formfactor (keep in mind flash in larger than bios sizes was still 5-7 years away, and hard disks never got smaller than compact flash size and even those never sold because of price, heat, and reliability issues.

    The one perk of USB was in killing a lot of the properietary dongles that made the 70s-90s so terrible, and made it easier to add new device capabilities to old hardware, even if slowly and cumbersomely.

    While I have people talking about the good old days: Has anyone here read 'California Computer News' and if anyone has old issues or knows of a place that has been archiving them, not unlike byte magazine, please link!
