AMD 7nm Zen 2 Chips Will Be Sampled This Year


AMD recently launched a new generation of its Ryzen processors that are built on the revamped 12nm FinFET process and it’s now looking forward to what it plans on doing next year. AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su confirmed in a recent earnings call with investors that the company is going to release its Zen 2 chips in 2019 and it won’t be a launch on a small scale, the AMD 7nm Zen 2 chips will see a volume launch in 2019.

“We have a 7nm GPU based on Vega that we’ll sample later this year. We have a 7nm server CPU that we’ll sample later this year. And then, obviously, we have a number of products that are planned for 2019 as well,” Dr. Su said on the call.

AMD recently provided a teaser of its 7nm Vega GPU. The company is testing it in its labs and has said that it’s on track to ship samples of the card to customers later this year.

Dr. Su said that the 7nm Zen 2 based product that AMD is going to sample to customers later this year is going to enter volume production in 2019, adding that the company believes that the adoption rate of its second-generation chips could “potentially be higher” than the adoption rate of the previous generation, primarily because customers will be more familiar with AMDs systems and its products.
