Ryzen 3000 matisse, more technical details

We know that Ryzen 3000 processors codenamed “Matisse” (Matías, from French) are made up of three semi-independent modules. The issue is that, in the absence of official data, rumors about the nature of these three pieces have spread and now AMD has been encouraged to reveal the reality

As we have seen in other news, the internal chip of Ryzen 3000 processors are made up of three "processing modules", one of which is considerably larger.

Well, obviously, two of them are Zen 2 units of 7nm and 8 cores, but the nature of the third unit was unknown. It was speculated to be 14nm, but the Texan company has recently confirmed that the last of these is a unit with 12nm transistors.

Of course, an advance from 14nm to 12nm is a significant improvement, since it means that we will have more efficiency and less heat. Other components that mount these transistors are the "Pinnacle Ridge" and "Polaris 30" . We know that this chip is in charge of controlling I / O (Input / Output) , which is in charge of coordinating and enabling technologies such as:

• Dual channel DDR4 PCIe Gen 4 Integrated I / O bridge to support up to:
  • 2 SATA 6Gbps 4 USB 3.1 Gen 2 LPCIO Chip SPI Communication

Along with this revelation, AMD has published other very interesting data on the internal structure of the Ryzen 3000 "Matisse". Among them we have been able to discern their method to allow compatibility with previous generations of AM4 such as "Pinnacle Ridge" and "Raven Ridge", how they are built and the connections between them.

As you can see, the information is good. Neither very extensive and dense, nor very concise and commercial and so we learn a lot about the components we use, something that is always good. If you are interested in knowing more about AMD, wait, since we will soon upload reviews about the new Ryzen .
