The AMD Next Horizon event seems to be used to showcase the new AMD Ryzen 3000 Series processors based on 7nm lithography.
A few days ago a page that referred to 'Next Horizon' in the company was published on the AMD website for investors. This event is unknown or at least it was because information has leaked in China that suggests that this presentation will serve to show the first AMD Ryzen 3000 series. But the event hides some surprises.
AMD Next Horizon will serve to show the AMD Ryzen 3000 Series and Navi.
According to the leaks and except for a divine miracle, the AMD Vega of 7nm lithography will be little more than the heap and do not present the slightest interest, being only a plaster in the hemorrhage of the company waiting for the real workhorse to arrive, the Navi GPUs based on 7nm.
Regarding the Zen 2 architecture that will give life to the Ryzen 3000 Series, little things have been leaked:
- Higher than expected IPC improvement in Zen 2.
- Memory latency improvement.
- AVX performance improvement (it seems that they will not be compatible with AVX512)
- The frequencies in the 7nm lithography are being higher than expected in the engineering samples.
- Polished boost frequencies thanks to improved Precision Boost and XFR.
- It has not been specified yet if these new Ryzen will be compatible with PCIe 4.0
- Ray Tracing (?)
Some data had already been speculated and the most interesting thing is the improvement in the CPI, higher than expected, which would mean an improvement of 15% in terms of the highest frequencies, which means that the frequencies will be better and the wall for Intel it would already begin to be of important proportions.
Precision Boost and XFR have been improved allowing to be more intelligent and improving the overclocking of the processor above Boost mode whenever the temperature allows it. What is not clear at all is Ray Tracing, a technology that currently only NVIDIA provides in Turing thanks to RT Cores and Tensor Cores, so it seems difficult for the processor to be able to do the calculations for this technology.
