It seems that AMD kept pretty quiet for the most of 2021, so we can expect 2022 to be a huge year for processor manufacturer. The new Ryzen series 6000 is highly anticipated. First rumors claim that the new processor will be faster than the last generation by as much as 40%. There will also be a new design for the socket it what seems to be relinquishing the traditional solution pursued by the company. The official launch is still approximately 12 months away.
Key Takeaways:
- Ryzen 6000 chips are based on the Zen 4 architecture, a continuation of the Zen microarchitecture that AMD has used for a long time.
- The Chips and Cheese blog claims Zen 4 chips provide a 40% boost compared to the prior generation.

“That puts more focus on transistor density, essentially allowing AMD to squeeze more into the same die space.”
