AMD wanted to say goodbye to better shape in the closing of PAXWest and there was no better way to do it than by giving the first details of what awaits us thanks to the processors based on the Zen 2 architecture, which will bequeath to succeed the new Ryzen based on Zen + that will arrive in 2018.

AMD is aware that one of the weak points of Ryzen processors is that their operating frequencies are below what Intel Core processors can achieve, this is coupled with a slightly lower IPC and is the main cause of processors Intel continue to dominate in video games. One of the goals with Zen 2 will be to improve the clock frequencies while slightly improving the IPC so that the final performance of the new processors should be significantly higher. Recall that in 2018 Zen + will arrive that are still the current processors but with a more polished manufacturing process that is expected to achieve higher frequencies.

AMD has also confirmed that it is working with video game developers so that they can adapt their engines to the new Zen architecture and thus improve the final performance of games under Ryzen processors.
