There's a related change to the load and store bandwidth, which is now 256 bits wide instead of 128 bits. The Zen 2 architecture represents a brand new, unique approach to AMD’s CPU design and promises to really turn the screw on its Intel competition, both in terms of overall core-count and in its relative performance. We also know that AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3rd Generation’s first two processors, the Threadripper 3960X and the Threadripper 3970X, came out on November 25, 2019, despite rumors that they may be delayed until 2020. AMD Zen 2 release date Ryzen Threadripper 3990X may consume over 490 W under load. AMD pulled the veil off of its Ryzen 3rd Generation processors. That’s on a clock-for-clock basis, but the 7nm process node is also dropping power demand and aiding clock speed improvements, too. It’s also capable of delivering raw performance that would take other processors much more power to equal. [5] At CES 2019, AMD showed a Ryzen third-generation engineering sample that contained one chiplet with eight cores and 16 threads. Then, at Computex 2019, AMD pulled the veil off of its Ryzen 3rd Generation processors.

This hasn’t been implemented on most of the lineup, as the Ryzen 7 processors still have 8-cores. Along with the new 7nm process node, AMD is taking a modular approach, still utilising some 14nm silicon in the design to keep costs down and yields high. According to numerous reports, AMD’s next-gen Zen 2 CPUs are going to be released on July 7th, 2019 or 7/7/19.

This multi-chip design means AMD can use individual 7nm chiplets to house the actual Zen 2 cores and connect them to a larger 14nm die looking after the inputs and outputs. As physical interfaces don't scale very well with shrinks in process technology, their separation into a different die allows these components to be manufactured using a larger, more mature process node than the CPU dies. The CPU on the left (used for mainstream Ryzen CPUs) uses a smaller, less capable I/O die and up to two CCDs (only one is used on this particular example), while the one on the right (used for HEDT (High End DeskTop) Ryzen Threadripper and server Epyc CPUs) uses a larger, more capable I/O die and up to eight CCDs.

Live on stage at CES, the red team pit its eight-core 3rd Gen Ryzen engineering sample against Intel’s Core i9 9900K. Zen 2 takes that further, separating the actual CPU and I/O parts of the processor into discrete modules.

That means you can go out and pick up a Zen 2-powered chip today.
