AMD has ditched one of its planned Ryzen processor generations.  CPU Warhol won't come out in the end

According to the leaked roadmap, Warhol should have been an update to Ryzen 5000, moving to the Zen 3+ architecture. Perhaps they would be called Ryzen 5000XT, or perhaps Ryzen 6000X, which is more likely given the history of Ryzen 2000 and Zen +.

Apparently, AMD wants to immediately focus on the really new generation of Phoenix based on the Zen 4 architecture. These are the processors that will move to the new socket and new technical process.

The reason may also be the situation in the market with a shortage of production capacity, and AMD simply does not want to take up space for the intermediate generation, having allocated everything for a completely new one. But at the same time, Ryzen 5000XT can still come out, only they will be based on the same Zen 3 architecture, that is, the situation will be repeated with Ryzen 3000XT, when the differences were very minor.
