AMD's big Zen 5 gamble

Two sizes

The dark satanic rumour mill has spat out a yarn which claims AMD is using 3nm for its low-power Zen 5c and 4nm for standard Zen 5 CPUs.

AMD launched its Zen 4 architecture in September of 2022 on TSMC's 5nm process. This was an upgrade from the TSMC 7nm process it used for Zen 3.

Now that Zen 5 is waiting in the wings for a late 2024 launch, there's speculation as to whether the company will use TSMC's newest 3nm node or stick with 4nm like it's doing with some of its newest Zen 4 chips. According to a new report citing sources in China, the company will use both nodes for Zen 5, which is now set to go into high-volume production in Q3 of this year.
