Succession

Zen 3 is a planned microarchitecture being developed by AMD as a successor to Zen 2.

History

amd zen future roadmap.jpg

Zen 3 was formally disclosed in a roadmap by Lisa Su, AMD's CEO, during AMD's Tech Day in February of 2017. Zen 3 will be the 3rd iteration of the Zen microarchitecture. On Investor's Day in May 2017 Jim Anderson, AMD Senior Vice President, confirmed that Zen 3 is set to utilize 7nm+ process.

Process technology

Zen 3 will be fabricated on TSMC's 7nm+ process.

Architecture

Little is currently known about the architectural improvements that is being done for Zen 3.

Key changes from Zen 2

  • 7 nm+ process (from 7 nm) , 20% more density and 10% power reduction compared to Zen 2. EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography 7nm+.
  • 32+ MiB unified L3 cache on the 8-core CCD chiplet, previously 16 MiB local to each 4-core CCX.
