AMD Ryzen Threadripper 5000 Series Delayed to 2022?
Launch of AMD's upcoming Ryzen Threadripper 5000 series high-end desktop (HEDT) and Threadripper WX workstation processors, is rumored to have been delayed to 2022, according to Greymon55, a reliable source with AMD leaks. Codenamed "Chagall," these processors are compatible with existing sTRX4 and sWRX8 motherboards, based on the AMD TRX40 and AMD WRX80 chipsets, respectively. What's new, is the "Zen 3" microarchitecture.
It remains to be seen if the delay is the result of a last-minute decision by AMD to go with the newer "Zen 3" CCD that comes with 3D Vertical Cache technology, over the conventional "Zen 3" CCD; or some other reason. A 2022 launch would mean that Threadripper 5000 series will be launching around the time when Intel has desktop platforms with DDR5 memory and PCI-Express Gen 5. Threadripper 5000 chips with quad-channel DDR4 memory (four 64-bit wide channels) will be seen offering only comparable memory bandwidth to "Alder Lake" systems with overclocked DDR5 memory (four 40-bit wide channels). AMD is likely to prioritize its next "big" socket for the enterprise segment with EPYC "Genoa," as the company could find itself embattled with Xeon "Sapphire Rapids" processors that come with next-gen I/O.

Hope AMD prices comes down so we could enjoy cheaper AMD
completely and fully unrelated old zen3 cores? its still pretty much the most high end thing you can buy still today.....only sapphire rapids will be newer when they are released...in the future... but we dont know a thing about its performance...... You say that but TR is a drop in upgrade which is a lot less costly then switching out literally everything
These things can happen in tech industry just very sad to see blind loyalty.
other then that, what critism are we talking about? hardware being pushed back to a later date? I dont think either side attaches too much value to that tbh.
Even if AMD was "scared" of which future Intel chips it may be released alongside, and was designing these with better silicon as a preemptive response, why is that a demerit? Is competition not what we want from these companies from a consumer perspective?
Nvidia, same thing really. And isn't it funny when the meme bites them for once? Its all about having fun, these are companies, we can rise above being sympathetic for them.
To me you can chuck that up with Pentium and Opterion, old dated tech.
So as for me, it would be more a "ermm yeah, duh" moment if you told me a 5600x beats a 3 year old Xeon......
We live in a reality dominated by financial resources, and until you factor in those resources in assessing which company is doing better or worse, your assessment is divorced from reality....when you consider that AMD beats Intel and competes (and even beats in rasterization) against Nvidia, AMD's performance is more impressive than either of those companies. If AMD had Intel's financial resources in x86 and Nvidia's financial resources in dGPU, they'd have completely run away with it over the past few years. How is it fanboyism when he is stating the fact that alderlake was beating a 3 year old Threadripper chip with Zen+ architecture (which literally represents a near 40% decrease in IPC vs Zen3)?....it seems more like fanboyism to be ignoring that fact like somebody around here
