AMD Raven Ridge Zen-based APU Spotted on SiSoftware, Graphics may be Vega-based

[R-T-B]

An AMD Raven Ridge APU masked by a code name has been spotted on the SiSoftware benchmark database, showing a few details about what we can expect from upcoming Zen-based APUs. Being Zen-based is not the only interesting tidbit about this chip however, it appears highly likely the chip is sporting a Vega based integrated graphics solution.




The sample spotted on SiSoftware identifies itself as a 4 core 8 thread part, with 3.0Ghz base clocks and 3.3 GHz boost clocks. We do not know whether the chip is a mobile or desktop part. If you decode the usual code name scheme, it identifies as a mobile part, but its clock rate is unusually high for that.

If earlier rumors are to be believed, AMD should launch mobile Raven Ridge based parts in the second half of this year, so this could be that we are simply dealing with a highly clocked mobile part. If so, that's rather impressive for the mobile market. Obviously, this chip would not compete with Ryzen Zen-based chips in CPU performance, but it still would be rather impressive for a laptop/mobility solution, theoretically speaking.

I found A8-7600 to be more interesting APU of others since user can select target TDP in BIOS. I hope Zen based APU will also offer that in some models.

Having said that, Zen based APU plus Vega based IGPU + DDR4 3200 will mean a decent one-chip all-in-one gaming rig.

Do you honestly expect me to accept this article as my Daily Vega Rumor? I've been coming here because I know you've got the good stuff.

Quit cutting my Vega with this Raven Ridge junk! I need clockspeeds, GTX comparisons, release dates, sku configurations.

You try passing this APU crap on me again tomorrow and there will be heck to pay.

Don't we all.

Either your sense of humor is dry or you need to chill out.

This is more interesting than Zen based APU. The rumored HEDT RyZen 19xx series.

Sigh, why are you changing your profile pictures again? That is very, hmm, distracting.

Interestingly it shows it being tested in a Desktop showing that the sockets will be the same for Mobile and should be interchangeable for some units.
Interesting how that one sample shows up as a different platform, the AMD Tambourine in one table, and the AMD Mandolin, in another.

This is sounding better and better by the day, cant wait to get me one of these to put into my Micro PC case to replace my current system.

The Linux drivers has code for a new video decoder, at the very least it's not the GCN one.

Distracting and what's up with the skirts bro ?

On the subject. I'd like to see that Vega APU running(if it is VEGA). I really consider buying an APU based rig just to get a low cost PC for simple tasks. I hope this will be low cost APU and that's AMD's plan?

I could swear he's explained his lust for pretty thighs many times already.

Well normally I focus on the subject but it has been pointed out so I commented. I don't read just alucasa's posts and not all posts and threads on the TPU so I might have missed that declaration of his lust for tights.

Cool, looking forward to replacing an A8-5500.

Very well. I shall declare again.

Women's thighs w/ mini skirts & thigh socks are the best. It's not porn. There is nothing too wrong about it. It's just showing thighs, yet the wild imagination that comes with it is massive.

It is also called "The absolute zone".

Tohsaka Rin, is that you?
The APUs "should" be Vega, but I would be quite happy even with a Polaris IGP, CGN is excelent at low TDPs.

re the table, basically they seem to have done two things. They have doubled up on the ryzen CCX? (dont quote me on terms) to 16C (with cut downs for lower price points).

And, they will have a simpler cheaper ccx, which only caters to half a ryzen - a single 4C zen core unit with a single 4MB block of L3 memory - the basic lego block for AMDs zen cpu products.

What does Vega-based mean? How would it be different than Polaris based, or.....?

Certainly it isn't going to have a high performance video segment. I'd love to see one that performs at the RX 450 level at least, in a low power envelope for laptops.
