AMD K18 ES (AMD Ryzen 2) processors are already supported by AIDA64

AIDA64 already offers support for the AMD K18 ES processors, the codename, possibly, for the new AMD Ryzen processors based on the 12nm FinFET.

These days the year 2017 is closing, where the great leap of AMD in the processor market stands out, which has been giant, but it has been impossible to copy on graphics cards. Next year 2018, it aims to be especially important for the company also in the processor segment, as the arrival of the Raven Ridge APUs is expected, based on Zen cores such as AMD Ryzen and Vega graphics, in addition to a new Ryzen family. , improved in terms of performance and consumption, which would pose more problems for Intel.

The latest that has been known about the company's next processors is that they have appeared with support in AIDA64, which has implemented support for the AMD K18 ES processors. We do not know which family of processors it corresponds to, but we do know that they are the future of the company, since the current Ryzen have the code name AMD K17 ES. What is more or less clear is that in the first quarter of 2018 we will see the Raven Ridge APUs and in summer also of next year, we will see the landing of new processors with socket AM4, a socket that according to AMD, will last until 2020.

Pinnacle Ridge, which is what the next Ryzen processors are called, are complete strangers, but we know something about them and that is that they will be manufactured in 12nm FinFET. This process developed by GlobalFoundries, which will provide an increase in performance, will increase the frequency (we do not know how much) and, most importantly, will improve consumption. Inherently, the performance will also be improved in terms of overclocking and possibly we will see how Extended Frequency Range or XFR works correctly, something that would be difficult to counter for Intel, who has something similar with Turbo Boost 3.0 in some processors.

      1. As you can see, I said this to avoid confusion, since there are many users who are unaware of the subject, and who see several websites and call it in different ways, and also on some websites they clarify that what they call Ryzen+ is the revision of the 1st generation. I was just to emphasize that, nothing more 🙂 You know that I am no longer on the warpath against you, I try to be more objective and accept your opinions. Now I understand that an article does not always have to be objective, and you can also give your opinion, whether I like it or not xD)

          1. no, Ryzen 2 is the second development of the Zen architecture, while what you call Ryzen 2 (which is Ryzen +) is an improvement of the first development of the Zen architecture.
