Let’s get started with AMD. ever since the company released information on the Zen 4 architecture, people have been going back and forth on what exactly AMD’s figures meant.

Adding that they intend to publish the breakdown in IPC vs frequency gains later in the summer. Basically, its too early to have definitive info.

In terms of the launch release, some people were wondering if we would only have high end chips at the start rather than a full lineup, and to that, robert just said that we can expect a family. This probably means a similar launch to ryzen 5000. A 6, 8 ,12 and 16 core lineup.
