AMD Socket AM5 "Raphael" Ryzen Processor Confirmed for H2-2022 Launch
AMD's next-generation Ryzen "Raphael" processor could launch only in the second half of 2022, confirms a leaked company slide scored by VideoCardz. The slide points to a Ryzen 5000X3D series product-stack update within the 1H-2022. These are Socket AM4 processors that leverage the company's updated "Zen 3(+)" CPU core die (CCD), which features 64 MB of 3D Vertical cache memory in addition to 32 MB of L3. AMD claims that 3DV Cache technology significantly improves performance akin to a generational update (anywhere between 5% to 25% depending on the application). The company is targeting "Spring" 2022 for launch, which would put this around early-Q2.
The "Raphael" Socket AM5 processor is sure to catch much of the attention, as it's the company's true next-gen desktop product. It heralds Socket AM5, a new LGA-based socket; and next-generation connectivity that includes DDR5 memory and PCI-Express Gen 5. The CCDs of these processors are built on the TSMC N5 (5 nm) silicon fabrication node, and are based on the "Zen 4" microarchitecture. The leaked slide shows the first grainy picture of Socket AM5, with a retention mechanism not unlike what we're used to, on the Intel platform. We're hearing rumors that AM5 will somehow manage cooler-compatibility with AM4 despite the radical redesign to the socket. An H2-2022 launch would put "Raphael" close to Intel's 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" launch, as team blue hopes to return to an annual IPC-uplift cadence, with up to 8 "Raptor Cove" P-cores, and 16 "Gracemont" E-cores.

25 Comments on AMD Socket AM5 "Raphael" Ryzen Processor Confirmed for H2-2022 Launch
"a single 8 'LTDP' Zen 4 core stack with 30W TDP will offer faster performance than the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X (105W TDP)"
Wow.
You're welcome :)
Manners is apparently not a thing any more.
Why do I need manners to use the internet? Why are you getting your knickers in a twist so much? Anybody would think I had posted a link to a porn website or something.
I get my knickers in a twist since as you admitted, you have no manners.
So you think when someone needs to look for something on the internet they use this website to look for it? And they must always say please and thank you? lol
Don't worry there's plenty of other websites like this that steal their stories from one another :)
In this case though, I did actually add some details that at least at the time, weren't known about the engineer that did the video.
