Now we have full stack of Ryzen CPUs that all have graphics and can drive a display. That will mostly help us in the commercial market where they don't buy discrete graphics at all.

The Ryzen 7000 series only has a couple of compute units in the new I/O die simply to enable display outputs plus the video encode and decode right out of the CPU. The Ryzen 7000 series doesn't signal a change there. So for us I guess I'd want to highlight that APUs as people think of them today with large graphics cores - that will continue in our roadmap. “I will say I'm excited by what DDR5 can offer both from a memory clock and fabric clock can do, but it's too early to go into details.Īntony: Will memory speed have any impact on the performance of the new integrated RDNA2 graphics and what kind of performance can we expect from this? There's not like this massive relearning that has to happen with Zen 4. The features are the same, they function the same, the benefits are similar. Robert: I would say that in terms of overclocking, Zen 4 is like Zen 3 or Zen 2. Can you tell us more about how Zen 4 scales with DDR5 and its timings? Is opting for some of the faster DDR5 kits going to yield significantly more performance in the same way going for say a 3600MHz kit did with Zen 3 compared to a 2666MHz kit. People will see those economies of scale and exclusivity bring the prices down and improve the overall diversity in the market.Īntony: Memory speed has been very intertwined with CPU performance in the past due to underpinnings of the Zen architecture and Infinity Fabric. So we're all in on DDR5, it's a great technology, lower power, the overclocking is better, the density is better and that's why we're exclusively relying on it. So I think it's fair to say that memory vendors were somewhat frustrated by that (Intel supporting both with its 12th Gen CPUs). You need adopters to bring the price down but if you give them an alternative they're not going to adopt it. This will create that demand and economies of scale that doesn't exist today. I want to be very clear about that - there will be no DDR4 support on Socket AM5. We're not seeing any challenges in the supply chain ad in fact are very excited about Socket AM5 being exclusively DDR5. Robert: It all comes together as a macro topic of supply and pricing and what I want to say is we've been in active conversations with all the memory-related vendors for months now and we wanted to make sure their supply output matches our supply forecast. Was support for DDR4 as well as DDR5 considered at all and what can you say to enthusiasts that are concerned about current high prices of DDR5 compared to DDR4 and the limited gains the former offers? But we just don't have an answer yet.Īntony: So a popular question I’ve seen is whether DDR5 memory will be the only memory type supported across all chipsets – that certainly seems the case. Our users expect transparency on this topic.

One of the things we want to clear up is what this looks like. It releases in the fall but it's a long way away. We're still early in the build up of AM5. Robert: I don't know yet - that's the honest answer. There's definitely an opportunity for it going forwards.Īntony: Socket AM4 has had a gloriously long lifespan made even sweeter by the new backwards compatibility of Ryzen 5000 CPUs with first generation AM4 boards recently – Is AMD aiming for a similarly-long lifespan with socket AM5? Or will it be limited to two or three generations of CPUs? That's not to say Zen 3 is slow by any means. Robert: Yeah you'll absolutely see AM4 live on in parallel carrying lower price points and more mainstream options. Could there be more AM4? Probably? But I don t have anything specific to say on that.Īntony: Are socket AM4 and Ryzen 5000 going to sit alongside Socket AM5 in the same way we’ve seen Ryzen 3000 sit alongside Ryzen 5000? I don't really know what we plan to do with Socket AM4 but I think you saw Lisa talk about AM4 will continue, it will live on and it certainly has huge demand both from DIY builders and system customers. Robert: I can't go into details yet, but I do want people to know that 3D V-Cache will live on, there will be Zen 4 with 3D V-Cache and it's not a one-off technology.Īntony: Is the 5800X3D the last processor we’ll see launched on Socket AM4? Antony: As far as 3D V-cache goes, is this going to be included on all Ryzen 7000 CPUs or will there be standard models and X3D models like we have with the Ryzen 7 5800X and Ryzen 7 5800X3D.
