Amd confirms that its zen 3 processors (milan) will not use ddr5
Table of contents:
AMD's Zen 2 series of processors will soon be available in stores, bringing with it a greater number of cores, greater efficiency and more IPC performance. In the future, AMD plans to continue innovating in the processor market, with plans to launch Zen 3 CPUs in mid-2020. Some of them will be called the EPYC "Milan".
Zen 3 processors will not have DDR5 memory support
With Zen 2 EPYC “Rome” processors, AMD plans to increase its 2666MHz DDR4 memory support at a higher speed. In this regard, AMD's Forrest Norrod confirmed that the EPYC Zen 3 “Milan” processors will support the SP3 server socket, which is the same as is currently used for the company's first and second generation EPYC processors, confirming that “Milan ”Will also support DDR4 memory. However, the new DDR5 memories will not be supported in this new generation.

"DDR5 is a different design, " and as such will require a new AMD CPU socket. With Milan supporting DDR4 and the same SP3 socket as current EPYC processors, AMD desktop Zen 3 processors typically continue to use DDR4 memory as well. 2020 4th Gen Ryzen processors will probably be the last AMD CPUs to use DDR4 memory.
AMD has already committed to using a "7nm +" manufacturing process to create its next-generation Ryzen and EPYC series CPUs, with Zen 3 aiming to remove "asterisks" from the company's processor designs.. With each new Zen architecture, AMD plans to eliminate more deficiencies in its designs, hoping to eliminate all of Intel's performance benefits over time, such as IPC performance, above all.
