It seems that now, almost a year later, another part of the same roadmap has been shared that completes a good part of the puzzle. Apparently, a number of Zen 4 architecture products named Raphael have been confirmed (the previous version of this same roadmap only featured “Ra”, and it can be assumed to be Raphael), but this did not confirm the Zen 4 architecture or the integrated graphics Navi2 architecture, while this new leak does.
AMD Ryzen 7000 already on the way: “Raphael” is coming
Speaking of the Navi2 part, this new leak suggests that the upcoming AMD Ryzen 7000 series of processors will feature integrated graphics. This would mean that owners of this future generation of Ryzen processors would no longer be forced to use a dedicated graphics, which is a benefit for many users such as those interested in mini PCs in ITX format, since they will not have no need for powerful GPUs. Likewise, this may explain why AMD seems so reluctant to release the 4700G and 4750G processors for the mainstream market.
The new roadmap filtering dovetails perfectly with the other piece leaked a few months ago, and here you can see the two reunited (the new piece is precisely Raphael’s):
So AMD’s roadmap for the next few years is slowly rebuilding itself, and while there are still questions regarding the Zen 3 manufacturing node (which could be a refined 7nm node or already down to 6nm in a new manufacturing node), we can already assume that AMD already has the Ryzen 7000 in its sights.
Processors based on Zen 3+ (unofficial name) are slated for release later this year, and in fact, rumors have been pouring in in recent days that the next-gen Threadripper and the Ryzen 5000 Refresh (or Ryzen 6000) could use the new 6nm Work node, which could explain the delay in launching Threadripper.
Above you can see a more detailed roadmap of AMD processors as more information has been gathered (this roadmap was compiled by @ Olrak29_) and is based on the original August leak and information that has been filtered out from all other sources (is mentioned in the image itself).
AMD Zen 4 is still the big unknown
At the moment, what is clear is that AMD is still working hard to launch its next generations of processors, and although we already know more or less their nomenclature (Ryzen 7000) and their codename (Raphael, etc. .), it is still not very clear. which lithographs and architectures will use those in red. Everything indicates that Raphael would use a 5nm node with a Zen 4 architecture, but it is rare that he has integrated graphics as they appear in the roadmap, since it is stated that he has RDNA 2 and that that would make it an APU.
In any case, you have to take all this information in pieces because if in theory it is based on leaks, there is no information yet confirmed by AMD and this means that even if at this time all this information might be true, AMD might change them. and throw it all at the fret.
