Should i wait for ryzen 4th gen CPU
Some misunderstood what Su meant. Around early 2020, the next wave of mobile chips and APUs was released. They’ll be called Ryzen “4000” models, yet they’ll use the same Zen 2 architecture as today’s desktop Ryzen 3000 CPUs. It’s a bit confusing. I’d pick the 3600 now and wait for the final AM4 CPU to appear a few years later after the AM5 socket is introduced in 2021+. They should remain functional and become more affordable over time.
@Harry Voyager & @Gegger thanks for the clarification If thats the case It changes everything.... But are you guys sure ?
Confidence is high regarding the immediate developments being Zen 2 mobile CPUs and APUs. There’s moderate confidence in Zen 3 chips that support AM4. These upcoming models align well with current trends since Zen 2 mobile devices lack available Zen 2 CPUs, making it a logical progression. Releasing Zen 3 shortly after the top-end Zen 2 Threadripper and desktop seems inefficient given the timing. While the original timeline was accurate, accelerating Zen 3 could better support a strong push for Zen 3 adoption in desktops to challenge Intel effectively. Market share growth is essential now, and dominating all areas is crucial. Regarding socket compatibility, AMD has indicated plans to support Zen 3 with their next generation, sticking to DDR4 for Zen 3. However, unforeseen changes might force a shift to a different socket, which they’d likely try to avoid due to the established AM4 ecosystem and vendor lock-in benefits. Purchasing a new CPU is more straightforward than upgrading multiple components like motherboard, RAM, cooler, and software keys.
The more time you wait, the better things tend to be (except with Chrysler, it always gets worse...), so if your PC meets your current needs, hold off until it no longer works well, unless you decide to upgrade now and try to make it last longer.
Ugh, I finally found someone with an older machine—I’ve got a Q6600. But I just read that the third-gen Ryzen causes fans to be noisy and temperatures to fluctuate wildly, even when I’m just browsing. I was planning to update next week, but music makes noise a pain. I also don’t like liquid cooling. FMLF!
It seems the information comes from a recent update. So far, I haven’t encountered those problems. I was using an NH-D15S air tower before switching to my Kraken AIO. I’d take a closer look because many users with Ryzen 3000 processors are thriving after early issues. That’s typical for early adopters—once you’re in, it usually works well.
