Codename: Matisse (CPU), Picasso (APU w/ IGP)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Picasso is 12 nm Zen+, AKA Ryzen 3000U APU's.

Also, there's no sign of a desktop Picasso in the list? All I've seen is this unofficial roadmap though.

Picasso is codename for APU and yeah it's only Zen+ 3000 series. That roadmap is missing a few things

Navi's alleged PCB leaked:

Buildzoid has made some PCB analyze oh his Youtube channel:

Other than that, llvm code are added to support gfx1010 aka Navi had some written article of it on Phoronix. It seems to be still GCN mach, at least for now.

Typo "Renoire", should be "Renoir":

AMD Zen 3 [updated]

• Release Date: 2020
• Codename: Vermeer (CPU), Renoire (APU w/ IGP), Dali (value APU w/ IGP)

Thanks! Looks like Zen 3 APU is not Renoir, because that's Zen 2. So Dali seems to be the Zen 3 APU. Fixed accordingly

 

[nemesis.ie]

Good spot by you too.

I wonder does this mean the performance of the Zen 3 APU will be surreal?

Any news on the Nvidia 1660 4gb laptop GPU? seems that there is a dell G7 being sold by Currys but i cant find any specs.

Probably typo. G7:s are available with gtx1650 4GB, gtx1660ti 6GB or rtx2060 6GB.

HMB2e memory? Is this supposed to be "HBM2e" memory. ie Samsung Flashbolt.

Last Update (4th Sep):

• Added AMD Renoir 3rd generation APU

I think it should be 3rd gen Zen APU, as AMD has 7th gen APU with Excavator architecture.

WTB news on the 3950x release date...

 

[Jacob XP]

It's officially spelled USB4 ( no space ) Many will probably call it USB 4. You call it USB 4.0

Small typo on 3500X it has 6 threads.

Great post. Please keep it updated. It's pinned in various places/google brings it up front for upcoming releases.

 

[R0H1T]

Next few launches to look forward to ~

1. 3990x - probably the most anticipated launch of the (previous) year
2. zen2 APU - AMD's first offering that should crush Intel in a lot of metrics, mobile will also be a key market for AMD in the next few years.
3. RDNA2 GPU - Interesting to see how AMD moves away from GCN.
4. Ampere - Can Nvidia continue their (almost) insurmountable lead on 7nm.
5. TGL - some leaks & not much else, Intel needs this badly

I'm more excited about Intel's discrete desktop GPU (Xe DG1). Not because it might be great (though it could become great even if it's not on later revisions). But mainly because it may bring a price war.

I don't think a consumer dGPU is coming from Intel in 2020 ~

When I asked before the announcement if Argonne would be the first customer of Ponte Vecchio, the Intel executive heading the briefing dodged the question by instead answering his own, saying ‘we’re not disclosing other customers’. In all my time as a journalist, I don’t think I’ve ever had a question unanswered and dodged in such a way. Unfortunately I had no opportunity in the open Q&A session to follow up.
Ultimately, based on what we know so far, Intel still has a lot of work to do to deliver this by 2021. It may be the case that Aurora is that culmination of all its technologies, and that Intel would be prepared to use the opportunity to help smooth out any issues that might arise. At any rate, some of these technologies might not get in the hands of the rest of us until 2022.

I know this is for HPC but I doubt they'll release a competitive GPU as soon as 2020, unless they rush a half baked product of course. A realistic bet would be 2021-22 depending on their fab capacity as well as demand.

What I'm waiting for right now is B550. AMD pulled a nasty one with motherboards this year and the press pretended it didn't happen.
