‘AMD Ryzen 5000 desktop processors are called Warhol and use 7nm process’

Possible information has leaked about AMD’s Ryzen 5000 processors for desktops. The chips would be called Warhol, and based on the Zen 3 architecture on a 7nm process. The Ryzen 6000 series, in turn, would be called Raphael and feature Zen 4 cores at 5nm.

In a tweet that has since been deleted, Twitter user MebiuW shares a slide showing that AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 4000 desktop CPUs, called Vermeer, will be succeeded by ‘Warhol’, VideoCardz writes. MebiuW has leaked accurate information more often in the past.

According to the Twitter user, the Warhol chips are based on AMD’s Zen 3 architecture on a 7nm process. AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 4000 desktop chips will also be produced at 7nm, states MebiuW based on anonymous sources. Ryzen 6000 would in turn be called Raphael, and based on Zen 4 cores and a 5nm process. Further details about these chips are not yet known.

The information from MebiuW contradicts a recent report from Digitimes. That Taiwanese newspaper stated earlier this week that AMD plans to produce Ryzen 4000 desktop processors based on Zen 3 at 5nm. The company would deviate from its own roadmap, which speaks of a Zen 3 architecture at 7nm. According to AMD’s roadmap, Zen 3 is planned for the end of 2020. Zen 4 based on 5nm would follow in 2022.
