AMD CEO says Zen 3 is ‘looking great in the labs’ and on track to launch in 2020

While there were some rumours claiming that AMD's Zen 3 CPUs could be delayed, the company has stood firm, maintaining that its next big architecture upgrade is still on track. That was reaffirmed again this week, with AMD CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, briefly touching on the subject in a new video. 

As part of the Ryzen 3000XT CPU launch, AMD released a promotional video titled ‘Ryzen Momentum'. During this, Zen 3 is teased:

At the moment, “Zen 3 is looking great in the labs” and AMD is “on track to launch later this year”, squashing delay rumours once again. With that said, Zen 3 may well debut in EPYC server CPUs first, before heading to desktop processors in 2021. Whatever the case may be, we'll find out in the months to come.

At the moment, the only official details we know about Zen 3 is that it is codenamed ‘Milan' and is based on a more refined version of the 7nm manufacturing process.

KitGuru Says: AMD has been on an absolute roll these last few years, so it is great to hear that things aren't slowing down just yet. Are many of you looking forward to Zen 3? Will you be upgrading once it launches?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
