Amd zen 3 is getting closer and closer to the linux kernel

Although it may seem like yesterday when the Zen 2 chips from the Ryzen 3000 series processors came out, we are realizing that the Zen 3 is on the way, which should not be too surprising given that AMD does its best to maintain the Annual updates to your CPU range.

AMD Zen 3 is added to the Linux kernel kernel

In the past few hours, the microcode belonging to the Zen 3 series of CPUs has been added to the Linux kernel, as detected by the hardware filter Komachi .

EDAC / amd64: Add family ops for Family 19h Models 00h-0Fh https://t.co/wveHQTqrqU

> Add family ops to support AMD Family 19h systems. Existing Family 17h

functions can be used.

Also, add Family 19h to the list of families to automatically load the

module.

The discovery details the addition of EDAC (Error Detection and Correction) family operating code to the Linux kernel for systems in the 19h family, which is AMD's family of CPUs based on the Zen 3 microarchitecture. Existing chips from the 17h family (Zen2) can still be used, and we should note that these are not the Ryzen 4000 'Renoir' APUs that were announced at CES, as these are still based on the Zen2 microarchitecture.

This code added to the Linux system shows that Zen 3 is on the way and getting closer, promising greater performance.

However, this is not the only information we have learned about when it comes to Zen 3. In October, AMD accidentally revealed a series of slides in a YouTube video about the Milan family of processors that are based on architecture. Zen 3, which was quickly removed from the Internet.

Lisa Su from AMD also revealed in a recent interview in her own series "The Bring Up" that Zen 3 processors and Big Navi GPUs will arrive this year, so we are very much looking forward to these developments. We will keep you informed.
