AMD Confirms Ryzen 5000 Series Nomenclature for "Vermeer"
AMD earlier today made public its YouTube live-stream link for its next-generation Ryzen desktop processor. Its title reads "Where Gaming Begins | AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Desktop Processors." This confirms the Ryzen 5000 series nomenclature for the company's Socket AM4 desktop processors based on the "Zen 3" architecture, based on a multi-chip module codenamed "Vermeer." This would effectively make these chips "5th Generation Ryzen." Rumors of the 5000 series nomenclature first surfaced in mid-September, when the running theory was that with the "Zen 2" based "Renoir" taking up many of the model numbers in the 4000 series (eg: 4700G, 4750G, etc.,) AMD would want to segment its next-generation chips in a higher number series. The AMD Ryzen 5000 series "Zen 3" launch event is set to go live in under 13 hours from now.

And you can't count the 4000 series as there is no 4000 series for Ryzen Desktop CPUs. Ryzen has had 3 generations across every product stack (1xxx/2xxx/3xxx for Ryzen Desktop CPU, 2xxx/3xxx/4xxx for Ryzen Desktop APU and mobile APU), the ones currently on 4xxx started at 2xxx, so they're only at the third generation.
Heck ICL was inferior to may of the "10th gen" SKL derivatives on 14nm+++ that's why they had to rush in yet another Lake to stop bleeding their mobile division!

Now shoot me for just posting one benchmark, also, benchmarks are outdated?? :D
Also gimme a soapbox speech about single thread performance. I care.
And yeah, there are faster Tigers out there, but they're still 4C, dunno how 100 MHz turbo would make any tangible improvements.
