If you think the CPU war is crazy now with 32-core Ryzen Threadripper 2nd Generation processors at the high end, AMD next generation Zen 2 architecture could double core counts for the mainstream yet again, if the latest rumors hold weight.

The upcoming 7-nanometer (nm) Zen 2 architecture is said to make 16-core processors the norm for the AMD’s next mainstream AM4 CPUs (aka Ryzen chips), according to a Chinese forum user on Chiphell who claims to be in the know. What’s more, TR4 (aka Ryzen Threadripper) processors will purportedly continue to feature a maximum of 32 cores, though SP3-socketed server silicon may see a bump up to 64-cores.
