Rdna 3, amd does not want to reveal the node the process it will use

Among many of the announcements of the last week, AMD confirmed something that many of us already took for granted, the work on the RDNA 3 architecture.

AMD confirmed the next-generation RDNA3 architecture, but the details of the architecture are not available, and process technology is simply qualitatively defined by the vague term "Advanced Node. "

Does the RX 7000 series graphics card use a 5nm process?

What process will the RDNA3 architecture use? In response to this question, AMD CEO Lisa Su explained the reason for not publishing the technology by answering analyst questions. Lisa Su said that AMD would not reveal the process node until some time before the launch of the RDNA3 graphics cards.

Considering that the RNDA2 graphics card has yet to be officially announced, it is now clear that RDNA3 seems a bit early.

Another reason may be related to the previous controversy. AMD announced RNDA2 and Zen3 too soon. The 7nm + process was mentioned in the roadmap at the time, which caused misunderstandings and was considered to be TSMC's second generation 7nm + EUV process. As a result, at a meeting a few days ago, AMD explained that 7nm + does not represent the EUV process.

Of course, it's also possible that AMD has planned to use the 7nm + EUV process before. Now, depending on the situation, it is still not profitable, so it is not intended to be used.

Entering the field of speculation, RDNA3 graphics cards (RX 7000) should use a 5nm process, if they plan to launch them in 2022, just like the Zen 4 processors. We will keep you informed.
