AMD Roadmaps mention RDNA2, ZEN3 and ZEN4
If you think AMD has been peaking this year ... well sure, they have been doing just that. But that doesn't mean there's more in that rendering pipeline. In a financial briefing, two new slides popped up, detailing a roadmap mentioning RDNA2, ZEN3 and ZEN4
While the roadmap isn't exactly shocking news, it confirms that the design phase of Zen 3 is complete and that will be a "7 nm+" process refresh. Interesting to see is the mention of ZEN4 which is in its design phase, as is Zen 5, we assume. "AMD Corporate Deck-September 2019" covers AMD's plans up-to 2022.
A similar roadmap was shown for the Radeon branch from 2017 to 2021, but not 2022. The 7 nanometer rdna designs are now being shipped, and a new RDNA2 design based on a 7nm+ process would be in its design phase. All this is on schedule and in line with the Xbox Scarlett that will use the new architecture, this console would appear in 2020.

I really am curious if Zen 3 is going to be more of a Zen2+ then a whole new generation like Zen2 was.
It seems really quick for them to have a major architecture change, since Zen 3 is supposed to be released in 2020. Then again, i feel like Zen 3 will be DDR5, and maybe that'll be the major reason it's not considered Zen2+.
I hope not. I want Zen5 with AM5, DDR5, PCIe5, with a GPU having GDDR5X, with 5 FAN. Coming 5/5/202x (not 2025)

Im more interested in gpu segment and rdna2. Looks like thats a chip in ps5 and next xbox console coming next year with a raytracing support.

Next Zen is going to be an iteration of Zen.
Basically the same, with a few small changes here and there.
Besides, DDR4 has only been a little while yet, and we don't know if the DDR5 controllers are fast and hot, or cool.

Hopefully a big chip, or chiplets, to replace the high end

maybe the chiplet design allow them to make changes to the I/O part and to the chiplets separately, allowing for faster iterations.
I wish more details were shared, but i also not like the hype trains so much.
