Description:
Statement on AMD Ryzen 7000 successor was a simple error, server startup says.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

TechRadar Pro has reached out to Giga Computing, the enterprise arm of 
Gigabyte, to clarify a statement found in a recent press release announcing 
new AMD Ryzen-based servers that alludes to the launch of the next generation 
of Ryzen CPU in 2023. 

Towards the end of the document, one can read how, "Even though these new 
products are entry-level servers, CPU support does not end here and the AM5 
platform is supported until at least 2025." 

 "The next generation of AMD Ryzen desktop processors that will come out 
later this year will also be supported on this AM5 platform, so customers who 
purchase these servers today have the opportunity to upgrade to the Ryzen 
7000 series successor." Simple mistake? 

In an email, Gigabyte spokespeson Liam Quinn confirmed the wording was a 
mistake, and that the company do not know when the Ryzen 7000 successor will 
be released, adding it will make a comment on the press release to clarify 
but keep our original wording. 

OEMs like Gigabyte will keep a keen eye on any improvements AMD make, 
especially if it goes beyond IPC tweaks. 

Ryzen currently tops at 16 cores (and 32 threads) compared to Intels 24 cores 
(eight power, 16 efficient and 32 threads). Its worth noting that all the 
24-core processors (11 in all) support ECC, which is useful for business 
applications ( VDI , web hosting etc). More processor cores would enable 
Ryzen to expand its influence in the entry-level, low-cost server market or 
high performance NAS . Ryzen 8000 series primed for 2024 launch? 

AMD followed a schedule for the launch of its mainstream desktop, non-APU, 
Ryzen processors that has only recently been disrupted. Theres no Ryzen 4000 
or Ryzen 6000 series for desktop CPUs for example and the initial annual 
cadence extended to almost two years (between the 5000 and the 7000 series). 

The Zen 5 architecture may come in as Ryzen 8000 (if it includes mobiles and 
desktop) or Ryzen 9000 if it skips even numbers. AM5, the current platform, 
will be supported till 2025 as per Giga computings statement and Granite 
Ridge, as AMD has called the Zen 5, will be a new grounds-up 
microarchitecture. This is, of course, assuming that it will not be a minor 
improvement on the current Zen 4 architecture. These are the best mobile 
workstations around
