That’s all we have on 2nd-gen Ryzen right now, so clearly AMD will be releasing more information closer to its April 2018 launch date. Most of the improvements to the 400-series chipsets involve better memory support and greater scope for overclocking, at least from what AMD has said so far.įurther in the future, AMD said the Zen 2 architecture, designed for 7nm, is now complete and on-track for release probably next year, with Zen 3 also on track. All the key features of 2nd-gen Ryzen will be supported on both platforms, though the 400-series chipset will supposedly allow greater performance, lower power and some new feature additions. They also hinted at double digit performance gains, though they weren’t exactly specific on any claims.Īs AMD promised earlier, 2nd-gen Ryzen will be fully compatible with existing 300-series chipsets, although it will launch alongside new 400-series chipsets. AMD did say these new chips will feature higher clock speeds and new boost technologies both Precision Boost 2 and XFR 2. 2nd-gen Ryzen will be built on a 12nm process using the Zen+ architecture, which includes minor optimizations to first-gen Zen. Although we didn’t receive all the details on processor SKUs, performance improvements or pricing, but we did get a launch window: April 2018. You’ll probably want to hear about 2nd-generation Ryzen desktop CPUs first, which AMD briefly mentioned during their event. Systems using a Ryzen APU will not need a dedicated or discrete graphics card.Just ahead of CES 2018, AMD has detailed a whole bunch of stuff that will be coming out this year, covering everything from 2nd-gen Ryzen processors and desktop Ryzen APUs, to new Ryzen Mobile APUs and even discrete mobile Vega GPUs. Īlthough AMD has retired the term 'APU', it is traditionally used to describe a CPU with an integrated GPU. ^ Ryzen Threadripper 3990X may consume over 490 W under load.^ Ryzen 9 3900X and Ryzen 9 3950X may consume over 145 W under load.^ Ryzen 7 3700X may consume over 90 W under load.^ The chipset itself provides additional user-accessible PCIe lanes and integrated PCIe devices, see AM4 chipsets.^ Core Complexes (CCXs) × cores per CCX.^ Single-precision performance is calculated from the base (or boost) core clock speed based on a FMA operation.^ Unified Shaders : Texture Mapping Units : Render Output Units and Compute Units (CU).
