Citing a rumor disclaimer, the source said AMD’s upcoming Zen4-based desktop processors, known as Raphael, will have a maximum of 16 cores.
Previously, it was assumed that Raphael will have three compute “tiles”, which corresponds to the maximum configuration with 24 cores. It seems that this is not entirely true. The currently named number of cores (16) corresponds to two “tiles”, like the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X processor.
This rumor is consistent with information released by Gamers Nexus back in March 2020. Then, on one of the slides, a processor codenamed Durango based on Zen4 was mentioned, including two “tiles” with 8 cores, capable of executing 16 threads each.
In the top configuration with 16 cores, the number of cores will match Intel’s flagship Alder Lake-S model, except that the Intel processor has 8 high-performance cores and 8 high-performance cores, then Raphael will have all the high-performance cores.
AMD Raphael processors are rated for 5nm technology. They will be offered under the commercial designation AMD Ryzen 6000. Presumably they will be the first to support DDR5 memory and the first to be AM5 (LGA1718). The approximate date of their release is the second or third quarter of the next year.
