AMD Zen 7 with 32 Cores and 512 MiB Cache for AM5: New Ryzen AI 400 Processors Show Limitations
AMD is reportedly planning a future Ryzen processor based on the Zen-7 architecture with up to 32 cores and a massive 512 MiB cache leveraging dual CCDs with stacked 3D V-Cache. The chip is expected to launch no earlier than 2028 and will continue using the AM5 socket. Meanwhile, the current Ryzen AI 400 processors (Gorgon Point) for AM5 offer fewer PCIe 4.0 lanes, limiting graphics card bandwidth to PCIe 4.0 x8.
