Raven ridge confirmed to combine zen cores with gpu vega

AMD Raven Ridge is the new generation of APUs from the Sunnyvale company that is already cooking in the oven, rumors pointed out that this new piece of silicon would combine the benefits of Zen cores with vega graphics and is finally confirmed thanks to a new report pointing to the OpenCL tables.

New details of Raven Ridge

We have more and more details about Raven Ridge, for now everything seems to indicate that these new APUs will come with a complex CCX together with a powerful integrated GPU based on the new Vega graphics architecture. With this, we would have a total of four cores with Zen architecture and, supposedly, up to 12 NCUs, adding a total of 768 stream processors with Vega architecture for greater energy efficiency. All these elements will communicate through the Infinity Fabric bus that is already being used by AMD in all its new products.

Supposedly the Zen cores will come with SMT technology activated to add a total of 8 processing threads together with 8 MB of L3 cache, nothing is known about the operating frequencies but with these data we can already expect a CPU with excellent performance and far superior to the APUs offered by the company so far. A two-channel memory controller and the same southbridge used in Ryzen processors are also mentioned, which translates to two SATA III 6GB / s ports, USB 3.0 ports and PCI Express lanes directly on the processor itself.

Raven Ridge will hit notebooks in the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 series first and hit the desktop later.
