Ryzen 4000 processors will deliver a 17% performance boost over Ryzen 3000 chips

Six months after AMD launched its third-gen Ryzen processors, leaks are starting to surface regarding the upcoming fourth-generation Ryzen chips, which will be based on the Zen 3 architecture.

Zen 3 is expected to deliver significant architectural improvements and optimizations. Reputable sources claim that fourth-gen Ryzen chips will boast a 50% boost in floating-point operations and a 17% IPC (instructions per clock) advantage over third-gen Ryzen CPUs.

The Zen 3 architecture will also significantly alter the processor cache structure. Currently, a Zen 2 CCD (8-core chiplet) comprises two CCX (4-core clusters), each with 16MB of L3 cache, totaling 32MB per CCD. Based on current information, Zen 3 will make the entire L3 cache accessible to both CCX without restrictions. Furthermore, the total L3 cache size might increase substantially.

Beyond this, several sources claim AMD will boost the clock speeds of the new Ryzen generation by 200-300MHz. This would bring Zen 3 chips closer to high-end 10th-gen Core i9 processors, which hit a notable 5100MHz across all 10 cores.

It's crucial to note that 10th-gen Core chips aren't expected to offer any IPC gains over 9th-gen Core processors. Ryzen 4000, however, is projected to see a 10% to 17% IPC boost. Combined with higher clock speeds, this looks incredibly promising and could ultimately leave Intel's new 10th-gen CPUs with no competitive edge.

Finally, Ryzen 4000 processors will be the last chips released for the venerable AM4 platform, maintaining DDR4 memory support. The subsequent Ryzen 5000 series will embrace the new DDR5 memory standard, necessitating a new socket (AM5, perhaps?) and, consequently, new motherboards.
