> The first digit is the generation. 1000 series -> Zen 1 architecture, 2000 series -> Zen+, 3000 series -> Zen 2, 5000 series -> zen 3. The higher the number after that, the better the CPU is within the generation (more cores/cache, higher frequency).
Except in APU territory, where nothing makes sense and cpus with the same first digit will be of different zen generations.
- RealStickman_ 6y agoDidn't they skip 4000 to fix exactly this?
- ziml77 6y ago4000 exists, but there are only mobile chips in that line.
- toast0 6y agoHalf of the mobile 5000 APUs are Zen 2 and half are Zen 3. The Zen 2 chips may or may not be the same as the 4000 series chips with a new code name (it seems likely, but isn't totally clear yet). So far it seems like desktop 5000 series APUs will all be Zen 3, but there's still plenty of time for AMD to make model numbers more confusing before those become available. The 4650G I got from aliexpress last year is pretty nice though; wish I could have bought it domestically.
