Ryzen at ces 2017 at 3.6 ghz base, stepping f4 reaches 4 ghz

AMD was presented at CES 2017 with a team equipped with a Ryzen processor and a Vega graphics card, little by little we are learning new details and now we know that the processor worked at a base frequency of 3.6 GHz and that the final versions will be capable operating at a very high maximum speed.

AMD Ryzen will reach 4 GHz

The Ryzen processor used by AMD is an engineering sample named "1D3601A2M88F3_39 / 36_N" and corresponds to the F3 stepping, which is capable of operating at a base frequency of 3.6 GHz and a turbo frequency of 3.9 GHz, figures very high for a physical 8-core chip and that put it above the Core i7-6900K that reaches 3.7 GHz in turbo mode.

The good news continues and it is that the French media has revealed that AMD already has the F4 steeping ready and that it is capable of reaching a turbo frequency of 4 GHz, a sign that the AMD Zen microarchitecture is very energy efficient, remember The 8-core, 16-wire chip has a TDP of just 95W, well below the Core i7-6900K's 140W which offers similar performance.

The arrival of AMD Ryzen the market is expected sometime in the first quarter of this year 2017, everything seems to indicate that this time those in red have been successful and their new processors will be able to fight equally with the best of Intel. The arrival of Ryzen could occur along with the new Vega graphics cards to incentivize users to renew their equipment and bet on a configuration signed by AMD 100%.
