Ryzen 4000 rumors: Allegedly can offer an up-to 20 percent extra perf over Ryzen 3000

New sources report further performance gains with Ryzen 4000 - there is talk of 17 percent more IPC and 100 to 200 MHz higher clock frequencies.

AMD has been very successful with its Zen 2 architecture, you know it as Ryzen 3000. This generation is to be followed by Zen 3 at the end of 2020 and now is rumored to offer significantly more performance plus than previously assumed. RedTechGaming reports this citing several independent sources. We can only assume the new processors will be called Ryzen 4000 and will outperform Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) significantly. Compared to Zen+ (Ryzen 2000), AMD promised 15 percent perf just based on just IPC.

the integer performance should be about 10-12% higher

the FPU performance should be up to 50% higher

the average IPC gain should come out at + 17%

the clock rate gain of the current engineering samples (for the server area) is 100-200 MHz

the number of CPU cores from Ryzen 4000 should be equal to Ryzen 3000

AMD would be making several adjustments: Integer performance (integer calculations) will increase with 10 to 12 percent, while FPU performance (floating-point calculations) should increase by up to 50 percent. At the same time, slightly higher clock rates are expected. There is chatter of 100 to 200 MHz, which, together with the 17 percent increase in IPC, suggests a core performance increase of around anywhere from 15 to 20 percent compared to Zen2.

The new chips will be fabbed on the new 7 nm EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) process from contract manufacturer TSMC and the architecture seems to be updated once again. Zen3 is said to be the last generation for the now aging AM4 socket. AMD will keep the number of cores similar to Ryzen 3000, which is six to sixteen physical CPU cores.
