AMD Zen 4 desktop processes up-to 16 cores, 170 W TDP
While many still are trying to get their hands on a ZEN3 based AMD processors with good pricing, ZEn4 of course is already in the works. And chatter is building up. Desktop CPUs AMD's Zen 4 Raphael will be limited to 16 cores with 2 compute units.
Previous rumors have been made about a 24 core model with three computer units, but that seems improbable. Patrick Schur who's been spot on mostly in the past; indicates the fastest proc would get a TDP of up to 170 W. AMD will start its Zen 4 5 nm desktop CPUs Raphael in 2022, these will be PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 compatible. However, the CPUs will migrate to a new LGA1718 AM5 socket due to that new memory and PCIe revision - in an effort to compete with Intel's 24-core Raptor Lake Successor, Alder Lake-S.
FinalWire AIDA64 v6.32 with AMD Zen 3 and RX 6000 Support - 12/15/2020 09:41 AM

AMD Zen 2: Production yields for Ryzen 3000 Dies at 70 percent - 04/22/2019 09:08 AM
Whenever you fab a wafer with CPU/GPU dies (or whatever they are fabbing), there are always defects. So if a wafer has 200 CPUs dies and 50 are functional, your yield is 25%. Well, the yield of the Z...
AMD Zen 2 "Rome" 64-core processor Photo up close - 11/07/2018 09:29 AM
So if you have been following yesterdays' announcement, you will have noticed that AMD has talked about Zen2 and actually announced a new processor based on it. Last week Intel announced a 48-core pr...
FMA4 instruction set hidden, but is working on AMD Zen processors - 10/15/2018 11:06 AM
In an interesting find, it has been discovered that AMD processors based on ZEN architecture actually support the latest iteration of FMA, the FMA4-instruction set. The theory is that the FMA3 supplem...
AMD Zen 2 nm architecture starts with EPYC CPUs - Talks 5nm also - 07/27/2018 07:50 AM
The second quarter results for AMD ended strong, during the Q2 presentations the company also talked about upcoming products a bit. That includes the first 7nm processors based on the Zen 2 archite...

V-cache without any architectual change will be adding 15% more performance. AMD confirmed zen4 will use it with new arch improvement and benefit from lower latency and fast ddr5 ram. This should be 40% increase over zen3 at minimum. It would smash.
I'm not surprised. Consumer-grade CPUs aren't going to need more cores than what AMD offers for another few years. If there is no IPC increase or high peak clock speeds, then we have more of a reason to be concerned.

170 Watt you say?
My 11700 uses about 40-45 during gaming, my old 4770K used 95 ^^
Excellent point ..............................-- in another world another dimension maybe

How relevant of a negative would this be for games? I've heard some people like "TechDeals" claim that more cores and threads can improve system responsiveness and "smoothness"/frametimes in games, but then other testing outlets claim there's essentially no gaming performance improvement in most titles beyond/above a certain core/thread count at this time. DOOM Eternal was one of the very few cases where I saw the 3900X could beat the 10900K so maybe the future with better multithreaded games core/thread count will continue to matter more than it does now, but going off the tests I've seen raw single threaded throughput still matters more for games after you reach a certain core/thread count at least.
More cores/threads means more heat/power draw, no? For example, doesn't the 3900X run hotter than the 3700X which in turn runs hotter than the 3600? Personally I think I prefer they keep the core/thread count the same and just do what they did with Zen 3 where they focus on making the cores and threads they've got faster/reducing latency between CCXs, etc. Correct me if I'm wrong of course, but seems like that would be the more beneficial route for gaming. The uplift between Zen 2 and Zen 3 for games was huge and for my uses 16 cores/32 threads is overkill unless more games start being programmed like DOOM Eternal (hopefully they will be). For example, I was playing Resident Evil 8 which is DX12 iirc yet that game didn't appear to scale with core/thread count well at all and most of my 3900X just sat idle looking at HWiNFO.
Sort of off topic, but the PC version of RE8 could seriously use a round of patching (broken film grain/broken anti-aliasing/weird slow motion issues after alt tabbing on my system/some users I saw were reporting missing animations here and there depending on their rig seems like/CPU utilization on high thread count chips seems relatively poor/I get asset streaming stutters running through doors and I've got a pretty beefy rig/changing graphics settings on the fly tanks performance for some reason -- Digital Foundry confirmed many of these issues in their video while Modern Vintage Gamer demonstrated that the current DRM implementation is responsible for a lot of the game's stuttering which is totally unacceptable).
