Lisa Su, CEO of AMD comments on Zen 2 and Zen 3, the AMD Ryzen processors having barely been released

Today has been the great day that we have all been waiting for months, AMD Ryzen 7 has been released. Its range of processors with 8 physical cores and 16 threads of processing comes to establish the stiff competition that Intel has lacked in the high-end in recent months. The 3 new GPUs, 1700, 1700X and 1800X priced below $ 600 are the direct rivals of processors like the i7-6800K or i7-6900K. After a great commotion that occurred in the stores this morning since it seemed that there was no stock available and that they could not be accessed in any way, it seems that everything has been replaced and on pages such as pccomponents or coolmod they can already be purchased ( on the first page much more expensive than on the second by the way).

Leaving behind this busy topic we have some statements made by the CEO of AMD, Lisa Su, who commented on the Reddit forum some interesting information about the rest of the projects that the company was going to launch throughout this 2017, such as Summit Ridge (Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 and Raven Ridge, which is going to be the 4th generation APUs with the AM2 socket. Other aspects that appeared were the popularity of Zen + to Zen 3 and from Zen ++ to Zen XNUMX.

 

Parallel to this on Raven Ridge it was detailed that it will combine 4 Zen cores accompanied by integrated graphics from AMD (the architecture was not mentioned but it is expected to be Polaris or Vega). This senior management of the company also explained that its new CPUs will support ECC memory and on the other hand made a mention of the new Infinity Fabric technology, the successor to Hyper Transport that will handle the communication between two Ryzen processors and that will also manage the parts of the Vega GPUs.

While these days we can already start enjoying the new Ryzen 7 processors, it will not be until the second quarter of this year when we can get a Ryzen 5 or a Ryzen 3.
