AMD Ryzen will return to the market in a second version with stepping B2, with improvements and repairs at the hardware level to increase its performance and compatibility.
AMD Ryzen has set a precedent in the world of processors in recent years, it has finally stood up to Intel in the mid-range and high-end sector, it remains to be seen the downside with the Ryzen 3. With a somewhat lower mono-core power Intel but with a greater number of cores, they have managed to put the blue side in trouble and this has had to lower the price of its products. However, not everything has been flowers since its launch as there have been a multitude of problems, from RAM frequencies to almost zero OC rates in some models. To solve these problems, AMD will launch a second batch of Ryzen based on the Summit Ridge architecture at 14nm.
They are a more modern version under stepping B2, where according to the sources that have reported on this they are physical hardware improvements that will solve problems that have not been possible to solve through the updates of the AGESA microcode, which during the last weeks have not stopped arriving looking to fix serious problems such as the frequencies of the RAM.
Apparently, as our source has reported, all the changes are included in the integrated nothbridge, which includes components such as memory controllers, the PCI-Express root, USB, etc. Seeing that neither the latest update, AGESA 1.0.0.6, has fixed the problems that exist with Infinity Fabric, this new batch will have as its main objective to achieve this objective. On the other hand, we will also have the ability to connect a higher number of PCI-Express devices.

We will see if this update is another blow to the AMD table for Intel, but seeing how late this batch is going to arrive, Intel will already be launching its new architecture and this rehash of CPUs will probably go into the future as such, a rehash.
As I had already commented on the matter and on those who claim that Intel has never had problems ... all have had them to a greater or lesser degree of severity and for those who say that those who have already acquired Ryzen will make bile ... I don't think so, yes already They have a functional product, things like this are very normal and many others will not even be aware of it, it is better to trust a company that is correcting errors and those who buy things on launch dates or pre-sales, they know perfectly what situations they are exposed to
And they don't know when these "refried" ones will come out because I would be interested in one.
