The latest AMD Zen 2 rumours suggest that the red team will potentially be squeezing twice the number of cores into the next generation of processors when they launch next year. Which would at once be madness, utter folly, and stinking of hubris.
Thankfully the rumour has come direct from private conversations with typically un-named sources close to WCCFTech. If that phrase doesn’t automatically spike the sodium levels in your bloodstream then you probably haven’t been reading tech news from the last few years.
We know the next generation of AMD processors is going to drop next year, but the company hasn’t yet said what it’s going to be doing in terms of spec beyond dropping the production process to 7nm.
What’s the best CPU for gaming right now? Don't worry, we’ve got the definitive list.
The claims from WCCFTech are that AMD is going to raise the ceiling for its AM4 processor core-count from the current eight-core max to somewhere between 12 and 16 cores. That means the top-end of that range would somehow manage to jam twice the cores into essentially the same space.
Quite aside from the massive technological achievement that would require, it would also be a remarkably unnecessary and unfeasibly stupid thing for the red team to do.
