AMD Confirms "Vermeer" Zen 3 Not Delayed, to Launch in 2020

[Makaveli]

Uh, so what happened to skipping 7nm and going to 5?
Oh, I never knew it was a rumor, I thought it was official. Then again I only skimmed a single article about it so, yeah.

Unless you see an official quote from The Vendor don't believe half the crap you read on the internet.

Good. The XTs are still too slow in gaming. Get Zen3 out now and leave slow Zen2 for slow consoles where being slow makes sense.

I have no problem gaming on my "Slow" Zen2 chip. Unless you are high refresh gaming on 2080ti at 1080p its a non issue except for the fanboys.

The DigiTimes report that said Zen3 would be delayed till 2021 also said the Zen2 XT processors would launch on July 7. Digitimes is known globally for their accuracy (sarcasm).

The XT CPU launch changed a few times. Initially it was July 2nd, but it was clearly changed a couple of times and not it looks like the desktop 4000-series APUs is what we'll see on the 2nd. That's the thing when you live in the real world, sometimes things change, for various reason and that means leaks, such as launch dates, often ends up being inaccurate.
I would invite you to try to work as a tech writer for a couple of years and you'll see how easy it is to pin down rumours, as that is what everything is, until the official release/launch. I've done it for well over a decade and I have nailed a lot of rumours and gotten some wrong, it all depends on everything from reliable sources, to what the company behind the product decides to do. I wouldn't knock Digitimes too hard, they get a lot of things right too.

COVID-19 has disrupted many supply chains. Go try to find an XboxOne or PS4 right now. They have been sold out in most places for weeks. Just now are we starting to see available stock again. I’ve noticed even many motherboards are sold out.

Try buying a webcam, they're unobtanium right now.

I have no idea how this is even allowed on such a great tech website

You seem to be okay with all the anti-Intel comments so far but got ticked off as soon as someone starts calling AMD out for their shortcomings.

Put your handbag down please.

As for this news, the dark cloud has returned over Intel's head. 3800XT with it's 4.7Ghz boost clock is enough already to swat aside Comet Lake.

ZEN2 does more than enough for PC Gaming on top of everything. The difference between AMD & Intel in pc gaming is negligible at best nowadays.

Allowing one to express there own opinion is important. It's obviously incorrect to assume ZEN2 is slow in gaming, but that's what he believes for some reason.

so i need to wait till next year for the availability on my region i guess, id feel pretty bad pairing an RTX 3070 on my 3770K -__-

Nooooooo how dare AMD give poor little Intel more trouble by releasing ZEN 3 in 2020.

Nar just joking. It's good with competition. That keeps prices down, innovation up and it benefits us consumers. We have seen for years what the lack of competition dit to Intel. They got lazy releasing one I7 quad-core after another for years, even on there HEDT they released a i5 quad-core with out HT and even throw the platform/chipset whas quad-channel memory support, the CPU's only had dual-channel support and really dit not innovate for a long time.

Can you say something useful? Enough mindless ppl say "competition is good" blah blah blah. We all know that already. You don't sound like some wise guru. It's just annoying seeing these pointless posts

Not as annoying as the instigating fanboy dicktracy.

What are you doing AMD, just delayed it already. We cannot afford another salty tear again.

another day, another shill-like comment by you

Intel can use more ZEN pounding. It's essential that AMD launch ZEN3 in 2020 and especially before the 2020 Christmas Season.
AMD needs to continue to lead the CPU industry because eventually Intel will end up with a competitive product and some advantages going with AMD will be lost or could be lost.

I certainly welcome news like this, though it makes me wonder who will buy Zen 2 "XT" processors now.

 

[qcmadness]

I have got one already.

It looks like CPU-Z doesn't read and report Renoir properly.

Those that have X370 motherboards that don't want to buy new motherboards.
