The development of the Zen 3 architecture has already been completed, as far as can be judged by the statements of AMD representatives at industry events. By the third quarter of next year, the company will work closely with TSMC to launch the Milan generation EPYC server processors, which will be produced using EUV lithography using the second generation of 7nm technology. It is already known that the cache memory of the third level in processors with the Zen 3 architecture will be fully unified - all eight cores of one chip will have access to 32 MB of cache.
What additional improvements the Zen 3 architecture will receive is still a mystery, but some sources are already making predictions about their impact on the performance level of the corresponding AMD processors. As noted by the resource with reference to informed sources, the increase in specific performance per clock for a single core in processors with the Zen 3 architecture will exceed 8%. Recall that during the announcement of processors with the Zen 2 architecture, AMD representatives repeatedly spoke about the fact that the actual performance increase exceeded their own forecasts, so we cannot exclude the repetition of such a scenario in the case of Zen 3.
No less important is the information about the increase in the frequency potential of the Zen 3 processors, which will be produced using a more advanced version of the 7nm technology. Early engineering samples of Zen 3 processors demonstrate overclocking of Zen 2 processors by a hundred or two megahertz. In fact, this does not say much about the capabilities of future serial processors, which will appear only in a year, but such a start is already encouraging.
