AMD RyZen CPU Architecture for 2017

The die sizes are almost identical:

Summit Ridge: 213mm2. Raven Ridge: 209.8mm2 (and a small saving by using IHS thermal compound rather than solder).



Anandtech have published a Raven Ridge laptop review:

Specs say there are two memory slots, so it's dual-channel.

Battery life is probably terrible but hey, for that price..

 

I like that little Ryzen 2700 (non-X)—it matches the 1800X, roughly speaking, but does so using much less power:

It exhibits superb power-efficiency in multithreaded apps, better than all other CPUs reviewed by HFR, except for the much slower i5-8400:

HP launches the first laptops with Ryzen Pro and Thunderbolt 3:

That 13.3" model weighing 1.3Kg looks pretty cool.

 

AMD's investor presentation for May 2018:

http://ir.amd.com/static-files/60c2cfe5-0551-4081-87f0-2a349cb2804e

Page 13 shows unreleased 20 laptops that will launch Q2 2018.

 

Has this been changed? Page 13 is "Radeon market reach"

 

Yes it was changed. The previous version had 56 pages, the current one has only 50.

 

Aw crap, I should have saved that PDF. The laptops' slide is gone now.
Though the page didn't have anything but pictures IIRC. There were no brand names or any detail.

 

Slide/Page 13 of the original (56 Page) PDF shows 32 Ryzen Laptop Offerings. Of these, 11 are already known/commercially available, with the remaining 21 not named by brand + model that are listed as "launching Q2" but it's conceivable that they could be identified at least by brand if not the series/models by some.

 

Here is the slide.

 

Why is there GPU talk in a CPU Architecture thread? *ahem* Please be aware of what technical thread you're posting in.

 

Multi-threaded discussion is hard with interdependencies.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

32core 4-die Threadripper on the way https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-announces-32-core-ryzen-threadripper-2000-cpu

Edit: meanwhile Intel has announced a 28core 6core 4Ghz base, 5Ghz boost chip...

Edit2: Lisa Su in Computex presentation says 5mil Ryzen sold, mostly DiY (so not lots of OEM, though I think thats more EPYC etc)

(starts about 12min, first few min muted)

Edit3: Hmm apparently the Intel chip is a bit bollocks, its a SkylakeX and running liquid cooling to an AC unit, -10C below ambient and with an insane power supply


Edit again: OK so its 2 separate CPUs, 6 core 4Ghz base, 5Ghz single core boost which is 300Mhz more than current top model and they're only building 50,000 of them. https://www.anandtech.com/show/12875/intel-announces-the-core-i78086k-coffee-lake-at-5-ghz (I think I don't buy their suggestion of staying at 95W TDP)

Then also they showed the 28core running at 5Ghz https://www.anandtech.com/show/12893/intels-28core-5-ghz-cpu-coming-in-q4

Edit Next: 24core & 32core Threadripper2 samples both at 3Ghz base, 3.4Ghz boost 250W TDP https://www.anandtech.com/show/12906/amd-reveals-threadripper-2-up-to-32-cores-250w-x399-refresh

 

Looks like there are four active dies inside Threadripper2, but only two of them have direct access to RAM...

 

Yeah seems to be a limitation of the original socket/mobo implementation

 

No they haven't, they've shown a 28-core chip OCd to 5 GHz using compressor-boosted watercooling or compressor cooling. Intel said nothing about the chips clocks when it will be released, but reaching 5 GHz even on one core at stock is unlikely.
The 4 GHz base 5 GHz boost chip they announced was Core i7-8086K, 6-core chip made to commemorate original 8086, released 40 years ago at 5 MHz.

 

Yeah, that 1600W waterchiller was hilarious. Intel came running to the ASUS and Gigabyte booths to have them whisked away after the Threadripper 2 announcement.
The media have, unfortunately, run with the "news" that it will boost to 5Ghz on all cores.

 

Yes I misunderstood initially
Added that in Edit once I realised.

 

Not all media - we used our brains before posting about it
(but then again, we write in Finnish so it does little for you here)

 

It's not like Intel was inexperienced on this one. At the 18c presentation, they conveniently used one of the many X299 board that does not give a rat's arse about honoring the processor's TDP. At least they did it on air cooling back then.
