News Questionable Report Says AMD's Ryzen 4000 CPUs Will Be Built on TSMC's 5nm+

[Admin]

A recent report claims that AMD's next-generation Ryzen 4000 'Vermeer' processors will be based on TSMC's 5nm process, but they're questionable.

that's a fanboy dream or blue nightmare. Probably too hardcore to be true. Like 5nm base and 5+ for refresh 5 series is something I more reasonable unless apple did buy ALL OF IT, and they really had to either take 5+ or stay at 7.

Agreed boss this is highly unlikely.

I think I read something about Apple cutting some its next gen process orders from TSMC. That would make even more 5nm available to other clients maybe. My interpretation of what Sue said was maybe we will see some mobile 5nm chips. So they would be called 5000? or 4000+?

Agreed boss this is highly unlikely.

I'm thinking someone must have got Zen 4 and Ryzen 4000 (Zen 3) confused. Wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last that someone gets thrown off by the numbering offset between the two.

That is a strange recount of their history. I don't recall AMD mobile going to 7nm first. I believe the new Renoir APUs are shipping 7nm a year behind their 7nm GPUs.

With that history, wouldn't you expect them to introduce 5nm on GPUs first?

IF (and that's a huge 'if', at that) it were true, then the odds of it shipping in Sept (of this year) just fell to near '0'....

My question to Tom's hardware is why they are reporting on rumours that they themselves think are questionable to begin with? Tom's Hardware is not a rumour mill medium like Wccftech or Moore's Law Is Dead.

Only sensible reason would be to put next gen mobile chip to 5nm to really irritate the Intel... Otherwise, this is just bull...

 

[Avro Arrow]

I don't believe this for a second. If it were true, it would have been leaked LONG before now. Zen 3 is supposed to be released this year sometime and there's no way that they had time to do this. This sounds like FUD to me.
