The next generation of Ryzen 7000 series processors based on Zen 4 will be released as early as April this year.
According to getwinder, a member of the domestic forum Chiphell, the next generation of Ryzen 7000 series processors based on Zen 4 will be released as early as April this year. The reply said: "Zen4 is coming in April. IPC increased by 18%, peak audit rate increased by 7%, and total audit rate increased by 8.7%."
The high clock speed message is probably correct because AMD itself showed a 5GHz full-core Zen 4 demonstration (YouTube link) running Halo Infinite at CES 2022. If the 18% IPC improvement figure is correct, then we may once again see AMD become a leader in the CPU market.
