Until now, the presence of architecture cores Zen attributed only processors Ridge Summit , which will be released by October next year and will be the most expensive products AMD in the desktop segment, replacing Vishera. More affordable processors Bristol Ridge and Stoney Ridge, intended by AMD, were to pave the way to the platform Socket AM4 customers with a smaller budget, but they were limited to cores architecture Excavator. Their debut is also scheduled for next year, with Bristol Ridge has a chance to come out in July.
Korean site BenchLife.Info citing secret documents said that the first mass media architecture will be hybrid processors Zen Raven Ridge, which will be released only in 2017, but will ensure compatibility with Socket AM4. In the design of the slides it appears more under the old designation - Socket FM3. In the mobile segment, Raven Ridge will receive pursuant to FP5 (BGA), providing for installation directly on the printed circuit board.
Apparently, AMD intends to support the platform Socket AM4 until 2020 at least. It will revive the idea of gradual modernization in the desktop: buying a motherboard with socket Socket AM4, you can start with inexpensive processors Stoney Ridge, and gradually get to Summit Ridge .
The following table explains which interfaces will support AMD's next generation chipset Promontory. Note that the processors are highly integrated (SoC) in this sense will be different from its desktop counterparts. Interestingly, AMD support USB 3.1 second generation interface, which provides data transmission rate up to 10 Gb / s.
If Summit Ridge and Bristol Ridge supports dual-channel memory type DDR4, the dual-channel memory in Stoney Ridge is limited to the same type. If we go back to the processor architecture Raven Ridge Zen, their desktop version will debut in the first quarter of 2017. Related Products :
