# Computex2018: AMD Fenghuang 15FF, a new AMD Ryzen-based APU and an RX Vega 28
It seems that AMD has an ace up its sleeve for Computex 2018, the APU that has been dubbed the AMD Fenghuang 15FF, based on an AMD Ryzen accompanied by AMD RX Vega graphics.
AMD Ryzen processors have performed very well and have allowed AMD to improve its position in the processor segment, a segment in which it had fallen to less than 10%, according to Steam. The Ryzen are cutting positions to Intel processors and a great solution is the APU, based on Zen cores and Vega graphics. AMD is aware of this and would be working on a high-power solution, within the APU range and will be seen at Computex 2019, where AMD promises to mess it up a lot.
New AMD Ryzen could be presented at Computex 2018
Specifically, an APU that goes by the name of AMD Fenghuang 15FF has been leaked in the 3DMark database. This new APU is codenamed DG02SRTBP4MFA. It would be based on four Zen cores and eight processing threads, working at a base frequency of 3.0GHz and we do not know, for now, if it has a Boost mode and what the frequency is in this mode.
The most interesting thing about this processor is not the number of cores, but the aspect of the graphics that has been integrated. Specifically, an RX Vega 28 will be implemented, manufactured in the FinFET process, which offers us a total of 1792 Stream Processors, 112 TMUs and 64 ROPs. Another outstanding element is not in the working frequency, it is in the memory section, since it will be accompanied by 2GB HBM2 @ 2.4GHz, having a 1024-bit memory interface and a total bandwidth of 307.2GB / s .
It is on a mission to compete with the Intel Core i7 8809G processor, which will also have four cores and eight threads, but in the case of the blue solution, it will have a more discrete graphics. AMD's solution, according to 3DMark, will offer a performance improvement of 21,3%, over Intel's solution. In terms of processor performance, it is not expected to outperform Intel, which has higher quality cores.

For games the GPU rules, and a lot. and being both APUs, the joint tests will be the important ones.
So most likely in performance and price / performance this AMD CGPU is superior to Intel's, and a very good candidate for creating Steam Machines, either with Steam OS or with any other GNU / Linux, and even with MS WOS.
I'm sorry to tell you that Steam Machines have been gone for a few months.

What if the HBM2 modules came on the motherboard?
I doubt it is viable, but it would be interesting to see.
