Amd zen 3 will use a 7nm + node with a 'modest' jump in performance

Next year AMD will unveil its next-generation Zen 2-based processors, which will be unveiled for the first time on Rome's EPYC processors. These will be the first high-performance CPUs to feature a 7nm process node, and while they are expected to offer huge improvements in performance and efficiency, AMD have already begun to give us clues as to what the Zen 3 architecture might look like, which would presumably arrive in 2020.

AMD Zen 3 will focus on energy efficiency and not so much on performance

AMD Zen 3 will use a 7nm + EUV process node, primarily to take advantage of energy efficiency with a modest performance boost.

There is no doubt that AMD will have the first GPUs and CPUs that will use a 7nm TSMC process node. Its Vega 20 "Instinct MI60" GPU will be released later this year, while EPYC Rome processors for the server market will be unveiled next year.

AMD has Zen 3, Zen 4 and Zen 5 planned

After Zen launched on the market, a year later we got Zen +. A slightly efficient and streamlined Zen architecture that relied on the 12nm process node instead of the 14nm originally used by Zen. AMD's latest roadmap now confirms that after Zen 2, we would get Zen 3, Zen 4 and even Zen 5.

Looking ahead, a 7nm + node will use 'extreme ultraviolet lithography' (EUV) which "will primarily take advantage of efficiency with some modest performance opportunities . " Commenting on AMD CTO Mark Papermaster. It is also claimed that AMD would use TSMC's 7nm + EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography) technique to manufacture its Zen 3 based processors.

The new process node, together with the new optimized design of the Zen chip, will offer greater energy efficiency, although with modest increases in performance, this is already being warned from now on so that later there are no 'surprises'.
