Amd confirms that the second generation of ryzen will arrive in the first quarter of 2018
Table of contents:
AMD is not going through good times in the graphics card market, but with its Ryzen processors the opposite is true. The Zen microarchitecture, on which these CPUs are based, has been a tremendous success that will only grow in the coming months with the arrival of the second generation of AMD Ryzen processors.
We will have new Ryzen in the first quarter of 2018
AMD has confirmed at a press event that the second generation Ryzen will arrive during the first quarter of 2018. These new processors will not be based on the Zen2 architecture since this will have to wait for the third generation. These new Ryzen will arrive manufactured in 12 nm and there will be two different silicons, “Pinnacle Ridge” that will be the substitute of the current “Summit Ridge” and “Raven Ridge” that will give life to the new generation of APUs with Vega graphics and Zen cores.
Pinnacle Ridge will continue with an eight-core design that will be divided into two CCX complexes with four cores each, hopefully AMD has made some optimizations to improve performance beyond what the step to a 12nm process can bring. As for Raven Ridge, it will offer a complex Zen quad-core CCX together with integrated graphics based on the Vega architecture.

AMD is also preparing a new generation of chipset under the 400 series. Not much is known about these, hopefully they have general-purpose PCIe gen 3.0 lanes although it's not confirmed. Second-generation Ryzen processors and APUs will carry the 2000 series model numbering, with a clear differentiation between chips with iGPU and those without. Both product lines will work on AM4 motherboards based on the AMD 300 series chipset, although this will require a BIOS update.
We will have to wait until 2019 for the arrival of the Zen2 microarchitecture, which will be focused on improving the IPC of the processors, these new models will also use the AM4 socket and will come with the silicons "Mattise" and "Picasso".
