My predictions for AMD Zen 4 desktop CPUs:
> come out about 2 years after Zen 3
> improve IPC by 40% (quite a lot)
> at least one model will go over 5 GHz on turbo clocks
> feature 1.5x more cores and 4.5x more cache than Zen 3 (because of V-cache)
> no 2 core CPUs anymore
> Athlons will get 4 cores 8 threads (>$100)
> Ryzen 3 will get 6 cores 12 threads ($100-200) - will be the 3rd most popular
> Ryzen 5 will get 8 cores 16 threads ($200-300) - will be the most popular
> Ryzen 7 will get 10 cores 20 threads and 12 cores 24 threads ($300-400) - will be the 2nd most popular
> Ryzen 9 will get 18 cores 36 threads and 24 cores 48 threads ($500-800)
> Threadripper will get 32-96 cores 64-192 threads
> highest Threadripper model will feature over 1 GB of cache
> Zen 4 will fight against Intel Raptor Lake
> I personally may upgrade to Zen 4 and you might consider that too (if prices are reasonable)
