At this CES, AMD released the Ryzen™ 6000 series processor based on Zen3+ and RDNA2, although there are many models, but they are all aimed at the notebook platform.
In the media exchange event, David McAfee, AMD's vice president of enterprise and general manager of consumer channels, hinted that there are plans to launch the desktop model Ryzen 6000 series APUs.
McAfee believes the timing is when DDR5 memory is more approachable and when the supply is more plentiful, though it seems that enthusiasts will arrive at the product of their choice earlier.
Regarding the Ryzen 6000, McAfee also confirmed that only DDR5 and LPDDR5 memory will be supported, and he said that the double-increased bandwidth is the best partner for RDNA2 GPUs, so that there is ideal performance. We know that the Ryzen™ 6000 notebook will be the first to be launched in February, and AMD said that the supply of LPDDR5 is better, which can also reduce the cost pressure of manufacturers.
However, this exchange did not mention whether the Zen4 Ryzen™ 7000 would be backward compatible with DDR4 memory, just like Intel 12th Generation Core. The outside world believes that when AMD began to design Zen4 earlier this year, it may not have expected the industry to encounter such a severe lack of cores, and it is not excluded that it may be urgently adjusted before the listing in the second half of the year.
