Zen 4 CPUs and RDNA 3 GPUs will launch in 2022, AMD confirms

[WYP]

AMD's next-generation products are "on track".

Hopefully we'll actually be able to buy RDNA3 GPU's for near MSRP.

Shortage will last through the year and likely into the next. Doubt they will have enough to fulfill demand

Yeah, I can't imagine them being able to fulfil the demand. Not only are AMD a major brand again and competitive but there's such a backlog of gamers wanting new hardware that there's no way AMD will be able to fulfil all that demand. I don't necessarily think it'll be as bad as it is now, but I do think it'll be very difficult to get a hold of these at decent prices. I can also imagine AMD trying to charge higher amounts for these than RDNA2.

I find it funny that meanwhile that NVIDIA’s CEO uses his iconic leather jacket all the time, AMD’s Lisa Su always uses the terms ”high performance computing” and ”we’re making great progress…”

Once TSMC starts spinning up more of its 5nm fabs and producers start moving to those nodes for mobile things will be less tight for 7nm. There is a reason why AMD is expecting its supply situation to improve over the next two quarters.

Right now AMD is producing current-gen and last-gen stuff on 7nm, and that is making things difficult. For next-gen AMD will be using new nodes for new hardware and old nodes to continue supplying old hardware. That will make things a lot easier.

TSMC also made a lot of investments to up 5nm production a few years back, which will start bearing fruit in 2022. That said, those investments did not anticipate COVID and its impact on the market.

I think things will get better next year, but TBH a lot of things need to get sorted before pricing can return to normal. Between shipping, component costs and even cardboard costs, everything is more difficult than it was.

Don't get me wrong here, but am I missing something... But wouldn't a bleeding edge 5nm be harder to get hold off? Seeing as I'd imagine that many companies out there would want the latest and hence supply would be tight.

What old hardware will AMD continue to supply on 7nm once the new 5nm products are out?

Also have to remember even if they start 5nm production, Apple is currently there top customer and therefore gets priority and nearly all they're supply. The remaining is fought over with the customers such as AMD and Nvidia among others. They can only get so much. It should help whatever 7nm products they will use though. As they will fill that gap of production with more orders.
