Recently, at the Global Foundaries technical conference, Mark Papermaster, the chief technology officer of AMD, revealed a big news to TOMH reporters, Ryzen and Vega will be upgraded to 12nm LP process next year.

It also announced the date that 12nm LP will start mass production in the first quarter of 2018, and then the second generation products of Ryzen and Vega will also be launched.

According to the official roadmap of AMD, Ryzen and Vega should have two generations of 14nm products, but they are just the first generation of 14nm products.

real NVIDIA's next-generation graphics card Volta also uses a 12nm process , and is manufactured by TSMC. however, This 12nm is not a true 12nm, but an improved version of 14nm TSMC and Samsung are so named just to make people think that the improvement is huge, and then buy and buy. After all, they are not toothpaste factories.

While GeForce's 12nm process is only comparable to TSMC's 16nm in terms of technical indicators, and in terms of process technology, the transistor density is increased by 15%, and the performance is improved by 10%!

It is reported that next year's Ryzen new product is likely to be named Ryzen 7 1850X, which also ends with xx50. The really powerful Ryzen 2000 series is named Zen+or Zen2, which uses the 7nm process.
