AMD and CES 2018 | New Ryzen, New Vega

AMD dropped a huge news at CES on Sunday, unveiling its plans for upcoming products. CPU news buzzes like 2nd-gen Threadripper, Zen 2, Zen 3, and its next-next-generation 7nm GPUs, the Vega 2nd gen. Add new mobile Vega chip and this is not even the full list of upcoming products, which includes two new Ryzen APUs with integrated Vega graphics.

With all that you can get that AMD is serious about regaining its reputation for fast chips.

“For us, it is all about high-performance computing,” said AMD CEO Lisa Su. “High-performance computing is absolutely the most exciting part of the semiconductor industry today.”

The presentations AMD made in CES did not address the server, datacenter and AI aspects of AMD plans that we saw in 2017 and how they will continue in 2018. CES presentation were mainly about AMD’s solutions in the client CPU and GPU space. But based on all we tracked from AMD EPYC CPUs and INSTINCT GPUs in SC17 and all the great deals AMD received after that like Microsoft deal and Baidu, You can feel the anticipation for AMD huge opportunities in datacenter market in 2018.

AMD offers two new low-cost chips:

The Ryzen 5 2400G will with four cores, +SMT and run at a base clock of 3.6GHz with a boost clock of 3.9GHz. It’ll feature 11 Vega-based Compute Units and will sell for $169, competing against Intel Core i5-8400 and a GeForce GT 1030. The Ryzen 3 2200G will have four cores, without SMT and run at a base clock of 3.5GHz and a max boost clock of 3.7GHz. It’ll feature 8 CUs and carry a price of $99.

Zen+ coming by Q2 2018

AMD said a new version of its Ryzen CPU, the Zen+, would come in April 2018. the Zen+ will be using a new 12nm process instead of the current 14nm process. AMD mentioned that the CPUs would clock up higher than current Zen-based chips. The new chips will feature the newer Precision Boost 2 frequency control, and an improved XFR2 clockspeed booster + an improved cache + memory-speed and latency improvements. PC world also reported that they are told that there will be at least a 10-percent performance increase.

Zen 2 and Zen 3 roadmap for 2019 & 2020

With Zen+ out in a close future, AMD said to expect Zen 2 in 2019 in a 7nm process and platform. A year later in 2020, Zen 3 will be out out using an improved 7nm+ process. Details of the chips are still too far to be revealed, but AMD has said to expect them to bring far more than the usual 7- to 8-percent performance bumps. The zen 2 & zen 3 were almost on the old AMD road maps and the new road map paints a better picture of how they will be rolled out.

AMD 7nm Vega GPUs and 7nm Navi

AMD won’t leave its graphics fans without any good news. AMD said this year would see its first 7nm-based Vega chip not an exact time but  enough to say that gamers, unfortunately, won’t be the first ones to get the new vega 7nm graphics. The first 7nm Vega parts are aimed at its machine-learning customers to compete with the Nvidia volta graphics that Nvidia (nvda) is now pushing hard to the AI market. AMD’s official graphics map turns to its newer Navi graphics core, also built on a 7nm process, and then an unnamed graphics core built on a 7nm+ process.
