AMD Confirms It Will Launch Zen 3 This Year - We Haven't Seen the Best From AMD Just yet

AMD for the what .. fifth time this year is confirming that ZEN3 will launch this year. This time the turn goes to AMD Executive Vice President of Computing and Graphics Rick Bergman, who confirmed that we will see the new Zen 3 based processors before the end of the year.

He also stated that we have not yet seen the best that AMD has:

So, what’s next for AMD in the PC space? Well, I cannot share too much, but I can say our high-performance journey continues with our first “Zen 3” Client processor on-track to launch later this year. I will wrap by saying you haven’t seen the best of us yet…

This remark was made during the announcements of the new Ryzen 4000 Desktop APUs. It is interesting to see that AMD reiterates this news so many times, and quite frankly they seem really enthusiast about it, so let's hope it is really good! According to rumors, the processors based on this new architecture would be up to 20% faster in single-core and 15% faster in multi-core, and that is once again a really significant leap.

IF they fix memmory controller latency , it will eat intel . Thats the biggest flaw of Zen2

Where for X eat Y we always mean 5%-10% difference in particular cases.

Yes , that was in my mind

The big question I got is: what is in the design of AMD chips that has intel so flummoxed? Surely it's just a design problem they cannot solve?

Will it be enough to finally beat intel in gaming?

At what resolution? 1080p? Because that is just about the only resolution AMD is struggling at.

I'm sure it'll close the gap some more this go'round....

Zen 3's more unified L3 cache should go a long way to rectify this, and also inter-core latency as well. The sheer size of the L3 cache also helps a lot in reducing overall memory latency.

Sure hope so. My ThreadRipper (tRX40) screams in the latency department, but the x570 system does surely struggle in the same regards.
