Older AMD Ryzen models in the form of 8-core solutions have better frequency response than the 4- and 6-core models. Usually, it was the opposite. Due to the smaller number of cores younger models received higher base frequency .
Our colleagues presented their view a plausible version of why the computational core at the low-end processors Ryzen are not faster than older models. Firstly, according to our German colleagues, 8-core processors can become a "victim" of selection. Restriction process technology 14LPP (this process technology is licensed by Samsung and is not well suited for the CPU issues), as well as defects in the production , AMD can select 8-core models able to work on the frequencies above
3.6 GHz. Everything that comes slower will be released on 4- and 6-core models.
Secondly, the current process technologies support two types of libraries - for increasing the density of the elements in (a question of cost reduction), and to achieve better performance, but with less dense placement elements. Thus, 8-core model may be designed with a view to performance and 4- and 6-core - in order to reduce the mass production cost processors.
Finally, AMD is able to reserve the possibility to release a faster mass model to the middle of next year, when the expected appearance of the second wave of Zen processors or conditional Zen +.
From our point of view, there may be one more option, why the basic rate of 4- and 6-core solutions could get a discounted rate "out of the box". Related Products :
