On top of APUs and a mobile discrete GPU, we have the next two years of CPUs and GPUs.
AMD dropped a blockbuster at CES, unveiling its plans for a 2nd-gen Thread ripper, Zen 2, Zen 3, and its next-next generation 7nm GPUs. The company even broke out a new mobile Vega chip. And that’s not even the company’s full list of upcoming products, which includes two new Ryzen APUs with integrated Vega graphics.
The executive summary is that AMD’s 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.”
RYZEN APUS WITH VEGA GRAPHICS For all those people obsessed with building the ultimate budget gaming PC, AMD offers two new low-cost chips.
• The Ryzen 5 2400G will feature four cores with SMT and run at a base clock of 3.6GHz with a boost clock of 3.9GHz. On the graphics side, it’ll feature 11 Vega-based Compute Units and will sell for $169.
• 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. For graphics, it’ll feature 8 CUs and carry a price of $99.
