The revival of AMD in recent years is due to the success of Zen architecture processors. Zen and Zen2 have helped AMD gain a firm foothold, and it is not until the Zen3 generation that it shows its power. Although this generation is still Zen2's 7nm process, IPC has increased by 19% and single-core performance has improved by 26%.
Driven by the Zen3 architecture, AMD's Sharon 5000 processor not only continues its previous advantages in multicore performance.The single-core performance also surpassed that of Core for the first time, and won two generations in a row.Competitors from the 10th generation core to the 11th generation core were suppressed by Zen3, and did not win back until the end of last year when the 12th generation core relied on the CPU of both PlayE architectures.
Not only is it very popular in PC, but Zen3 has a greater advantage in EPYC server CPU, achieving 64 cores and 128 threads, which is the biggest contributor for AMD to win back the first place in the high-performance computing market such as TOP500 supercomputing.
However, the Zen3 architecture has been around for more than two years, and the next fate is doomed.AMD CEO Su Zifeng mentioned at the earnings conference that shipments of EPYC processors based on 5nm Zen4 architecture will exceed Zen3 in the second half of this year.
Considering that the Zen4 architecture sharp dragon 7000 on the desktop and notebook platform has been shipped in large quantities, and the sharp dragon 5000 of Zen3 architecture has also made it clear that it is clearing inventory, so the Zen3 architecture will gradually abdicate at the end of this year and will no longer be the main force.
Of course, Zen3 is still a long way from being completely discontinued, since AMD hasn't stopped producing Zen2 processors until now.
