AMD Ryzen 4000 Rumored to Bring 15% IPC Uplift
AMD's Zen 3 architecture will power the next generation Ryzen 4000 desktop chips and the 3rd Gen EPYC lineup which are both expected to launch later this year. Adored TV has received some leaked information detailing the technical specifications of the Zen 3 architecture. The majority of the leaked information confirmed existing rumors such as the 8 core CCX, higher clocks and lower power draw.
However the leak suggests IPC improvements will be less than the expected 20% hinted at by AMD and may end up being closer to 10 - 15%. The leak also claims that L3 cache will remain at 32 MB however it will no longer be split due to the single CCX. While this may be disappointing for some, remember to take the claims with a grain of salt as with any rumor.

Also, can become? TR3990X is already 64C.
@edit
ZEN4 will probab have new Socket (AM4+ or AM5 maybe), with that they could increase the Number of Cores on all of AMD processors and really hit intel again on better Cores/Dollar.
Just look at the sales, if 32C was the next big thing you'd expect 16 to be much more popular than it is right now. 16C is enough of a halo product for mainstream for now, and while it will be more than that in the near future, it won't be 32C.

They can and should up the game in the name of the progress - EPYC with 128 cores will be great, the consoles will get 16 logical processors, so mainstream getting 16-core and high-end mainstream getting 32 cores will be welcome for many.
After all, there are new use cases for this type of computing power - ray-tracing, improved physics, artificial intelligence, etc.
Everything feels better with more cores.
Long gone are the days of dual and quad-core processors.
Even today, most working laptops are insanely slow, dual-core with HDD ?! WTH?
So, cores talking to each other with 30 GB/s is ultra slow.
Good to know that its speed can scale up to 512 GB/s according to AMD.
It's just an evolution of their old HyperTransport bus (10.4 GB/s and 12.8 GB/s).
I don't know why you decided to post this rumor - more like a wild want-to-believe in guesstimate.
Charlie also, but his are behind a pay wall.
Wouldn't need to change motherboard otherwise, but this El Cheapo B450 which I have now, has a very crappy VRM. Better just run this 2600 at stock speeds.
And continuous innovation and even more dramatic performance leadership may have an effect to offset those payments and illegal Intel practices.
I think IPC improvement combined with increased clock speeds, combined with more cores or at least same cores for cheaper price will lead to an amazing product stack for the Zen 3 series. If a R5 4600 comes with 8 cores at $200, able to boost up to 4.7GHz and has 15% higher ipc over the 3600, that would be an amazing product.
I'm just hoping for cheap B550 boards with PCI-e 4 support and DDR5 support.
-X670 and B650, so that X570 becomes lower tier;
or
-X670, so that X570 becomes the cheaper option, kind of "B650" but not quite.
AM4 is DDR4.
Quote from an article: ... On the consumer side, the Ryzen 9 3950X brings an almost-unbelievable boost to 16 cores on mainstream platforms, a tremendous improvement over the standard of four cores just a mere two years ago. As AMD moves forward to smaller processes, that means we could theoretically see another doubling in processor cores in the future. That makes a lot of sense for the data center, but begs the question of how many cores an average consumer can actually use. We asked Papermaster if it would make sense to move up to 32 cores for mainstream users:
"I don’t see in the mainstream space any imminent barrier, and here's why: It's just a catch-up time for software to leverage the multi-core approach," Papermaster said. "But we're over that hurdle, now more and more applications can take advantage of multi-core and multi-threading.[...]"
"In the near term, I don’t see a saturation point for cores. You have to be very thoughtful when you add cores because you don’t want to add it before the application can take advantage of it. As long as you keep that balance, I think we'll continue to see that trend."
