Lisa Su: Ryzen Processors Based on Zen 3 Architecture (Vermeer) Coming This Year

Yesterday, AMD posted a new video on its YouTube channel dedicated to the anniversary of the Ryzen 3000 chips and the launch of the Ryzen 3000XT processors, where, among other things, AMD CEO Lisa Su revealed the plans of the red giant regarding the Zen 3 architecture:

Last year on 7/7 we launched our 7nm 3rd gen @AMDRyzen and @Radeon 5000 series together. Today we celebrate 7/7 with some new @AMDRyzen XT parts. Enjoy! pic.twitter.com/XJqzIcnJEE

According to her, rumors about a possible postponement of the release of Ryzen 4000 Vermeer chips to 2021 are just rumors and have nothing to do with reality. As previously planned, processors based on the Zen 3 architecture will see the light of day before the end of 2020.

Currently available information, the new Ryzen 4000 Vermeer processors will bring an increase in IPC of up to 20%, and they will have higher clock speeds than existing Ryzen 3000 chips. These CPUs should be produced according to improved 7-nanometer process technology.
