AMD to launch Zen 4 and RDNA 3 both in Q4 2022
AMD is going to launch two of its future cpu and gpu architectures, Zen 4 and RDNA 3 respectively, roughly simultaneously.
AMD would be planning to simultaneously launch its new CPU architecture (Zen4) and its upcoming GPU architecture (RDNA3) late next year. Specifically, it is mentioned that the Ryzen 7000 and the Radeon RX 7000 would arrive during the Fourth Quarter of 2022 (Q4 2022). This late launch by AMD is due to nothing more than the current chip shortage. On the CPU side , we find Apple monopolizing almost all of the 5nm wafers produced by TSMC, the same process and the same manufacturer that the red team will go to for Zen4. The eye is on next year that the Cupertino giant will jump to 3nm and release a significant wafer allocation so that AMD can launch its next generation without problems.
The graphics card market is completely in a state of shock due to lack of stock and overpricing, generated in part by the aforementioned shortage of chips but added to the extremely high demand from the cryptocurrency industry, which uses cryptocurrencies. GPUs for mining. So it wouldn't make sense to launch a new generation of graphics cards at a time like this.

People are willing to pay, Apple is just securing the means paying whatever TSMC wants.
Remember that to buy wafer allocation it is a bid process, the highest bider wins.
So, the only ones to blame are the sheep who buys a new Apple device every year just because of the social status.
Those who keep their devices for at least 3 years are the only normal users that I respect.

That's OK. With my current activity level, and the back catalogue of games I have yet to play, there's no reason to replace anything until that time anyway

Hopefully Apple will have moved on to something like 3nm or something before then :p
I wish I could say the same but my R9 290 doesn't exactly keep up with 4K these days. I've mostly just been revisiting games made from the mid 2000s. Honestly, kinda refreshing - back then games weren't loaded with microtransactions and were more focused on being fun than immersive.
As a person who has never owned a single Apple device, all I can say is that "Apple monopolizing almost all of the 5nm wafers produced by TSMC" is disgusting. Understandable, of course, considering Apple's bottomless pockets and a customer base that doesn't have the word "expensive" in their vocabulary.
I can't help but wonder if Apple is actually selling all those chips. Sure, the M1 is decently popular but is it popular enough to take up all of TSMC's load?

As a person using several, but owning none, I would say that they deserve it, and there are good reasons they can do it.

I´m not a fan of Apple but you really can´t blame them on this one, it´s not their fault that there´s insufficient foundry capacity worldwide.
Ironically we should thank them for the current capacity and wafer advancement because they are the one of the few companies rich enough to help finance all this in advance, that´s way they have priority on the best nodes and on wafer capacity.
