Η AMD made the beginning in CES 2019 with the introduction of new processors Ryzen 3000 for laptops, but yesterday it also went on to unveil the third generation of processors Ryze for desktops and the new graphics card Radeon VII, going down for the first time in Zen 2 7nm scale architecture!
AMD Ryzen 3rd Gen
Starting from them AMD Ryzen 3rd Gen, the company talked about an octa-core processor (16x threads) that will compete with Intel's flagship (Core i9-9900K). The rating he got at Cinebench was 2023 against 1873 of the Intel Core i9-9900K.
Therefore, we have a higher efficiency by about 12%, but so far we do not know the clock frequencies of the cores because its construction has not been finalized. Even more impressive is the fact that it is more energy efficient than the Intel Coffee Lake R, with a maximum consumption of 133.4 watts compared to 179.9 watts (30% lower power consumption).
In terms of Zen architecture 2, the processor consists of 2 pieces of silicon stacked in one package. One includes an octa-core chipset at 7nm (manufactured by TSMC) and the second is an I / O chipset with dual memory controllers and PCIe lanes (manufactured by GlobalFoundries)
The new generation AMD Ryzen will be the first market that will supports the template PCIe 4.0, which doubles the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 from 8 to 16 gigatransfers. Finally, the AM4 socket remains to support existing AMD 300/400 Series motherboards.
AMD Radeon VII
As for the new graphics card AMD Radeon VII, is the first company built in 7nm. It is based on the graphics processor Vega 20 with architecture Graphics Core Next 5 and a maximum clock speed of 1800MHz (14% faster than the Radeon RX Vega 64).
In addition, it offers double 16GB HBM2 memory for yield 13.8 teraflops, as it has over 1 billion more transistors compared to the previous generation. This translates to seamless gaming in 4K resolution at 60fps.
The scale of 7nm allows its overall increase 25% yield compared to the previous generation, without affecting energy consumption and heat production (TDP remains at 295 watts).
New AMD Radeon VII will be released on February 7 for $ 699 and will include Devil May Cry V, Resident Evil 2 Remake and The Division 2.
