[SOLVED] next generation ryzen cpu

[.valkyrie.]

hi
is 5th gen (zen 3) limited to those 3?
i couldn't find any successor for Ry 5 3400g...

another question, i read somewhere that since this is apu, the shared ram really handicap the cpu part. does it mean if later i install a dedicated gpu, the cpu performance increase? or its a lost cause and i should upgrade the Apu to cpu az well

Of course you're not going to find a 3400G successor at this point; there's generally been lag of 9-12 months between Zen mainstream CPU releases and the APUs on the same architecture. The Zen and Zen+ APUs were about a year and the Zen 2 APUs have only been coming out in the last few months only to OEMs. Given the chip shortages and the lower priority of the non-OEM consumer APUs, I would be mildly surprised to see Zen 3 APUs become available to the public until before late 2021.

any idea about 2nd part ?

Depends on the workload. The idea of RAM is to have enough; if there's enough to spare, it won't have an effect on the CPU. Though make sure to not cheap out on RAM because APUs really need fast RAM. I'd consider 3000 MHz the minimum.
