NO. Zen 5 is not an improvement of Zen 4 (microarchitecture). Zen 5 is a radical new approach and a new design from the ground up for AMD. Mike Clark himself admitted that Zen5 is the first microarchitecture (that they learn) that has been so thoroughly redesigned and is the basis for subsequent generations.honestly it just shows there’s a bottleneck somewhere else in the system.
it’s being held back by memory/or some other component in the design - since zen 5 is basically improved zen 4. I’m wondering if they were able to pump the infinity fabric higher and give it faster ddr5 sweet spot if the story would have been different.
Or maybe if the new am5 chipsets or new agesa come out and there is performance to be gained.
This new base for the next generations of Zen is a priority for AMD.
