Hier mal ne schöne Zusammenfassung, was bisher über Ryzen 3000 bekannt ist:
AMD Ryzen 3000 Series CPUs: Rumors, Release Date, All We Know About Ryzen 3
Verbesserung des IF:
"AMD is now using a second-gen Infinity Fabric to connect the multi-chip design with a 14nm I/O die that serves as the linchpin of the design. This design helps AMD keep the areas of the chip that don’t scale well, like the memory controllers and I/O, on a proven and mature node, while also leveraging the performance, density and economic advantages of the 7nm node for the important compute functions. The innovative design is a sign of a broader trend in the industry to heterogeneous architectures."
Hohe Kapazitäten bei TSMC:
"TSMC is the industry’s premiere third-party foundry, so AMD will have to compete for wafer output with big players such as Apple, Qualcomm and Nvidia, that also use the fab’s chip production facilities. However, recent reports indicate that the 7nm node is expensive, thus leading several large players to scale back product development on leading nodes, thus leaving about 10 percent of TSMC’s 7nm production capacity underutilized. This is a double-edged sword for AMD: while the company shouldn’t have any problem sourcing wafers from TSMC, the progressively higher costs of each smaller node means we mightl not see big price drops with the second-gen Ryzen chips."
Final höhere Taktraten als die Engineering Samples?
"The leaker contended that AMD would unveil the new processors and pricing at CES, but the company didn't share such detailed information during its keynote. We expect the lack of detail about the Ryzen chips, as most of these final touches, especially
CPU clock speeds and pricing, typically come later in the development process."
Man wird wohl noch einige Optimierungen bis Release erwarten können, insbesondere bei den Taktraten und dem AGESA Code.
