New details of the first apus amd raven ridge
Table of contents:
We have new information about the new AMD processors based on the high-performance Zen microarchitecture, this time it is their new generation of raven Ridge APUs of which we already know some details of the first models of this new family that could reach the throughout 2017.
AMD Raven Ridge: characteristics of the first models
AMD Raven Ridge will combine the full power of Summit Ridge processors' Zen cores with Vega graphics technology to deliver a very powerful two-way solution with high energy efficiency. The first Raven Ridge APU will be manufactured with the 14 nm FinFET process to have a die size of 170 mm2, which will include a total of four AMD Zen cores with the capacity to process 8 threads of data and a GPU formed by 768 Stream Processors.. The most surprising thing is that its TDP will be only 35W so it will be a very energy efficient solution. This new processor will be based on the FP5 socket and will arrive soldered to the motherboard.
We recommend our guide to the best processors on the market.
The second APU is more interesting by relying on an AM4 socket that allows it to display much higher specs than its little sister. We have a 210 mm2 die that includes no less than four AMD Zen cores (8 threads) along with a powerful GPU made up of 1, 024 stream processors and powered by HBM2 memory with a bandwidth of 1, 024 GB / s. This APU will represent a huge step forward compared to the current Bristol Ridge and will finally have enough bandwidth for GCN graphics to perform at their best without being choked by memory.
| APU | Raven Ridge FP5 | Raven Ridge AM4 |
| Socket | FP5 | AM4 |
| TDP | 4-35 W | 35-95W |
| CPU | Zen | Zen |
| Core / Thread | 4/8 | 4/8 |
| GPU | Vega | Vega |
| GPU CUs | 12 | 16 |
| BMI | DDR4 | DDR4 + HBM2 |
| Node | 14nm FinFET | 14nm FinFET |
| Die Size | ~ 170 mm 2 | ~ 210 mm 2 |
Finally there is talk of a third APU that would have a total of eight Zen cores along with a 2, 048 stream processors GPU. Xbox Scorpio, are you there?
