AMD, at its post-Ryzen 7 launch Reddit AMA, disclosed some juicy details about its other upcoming socket AM4 chips, beginning with the rest of the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 "Summit Ridge" processor roll-out, and a little bit about its 8th generation socket AM4 APU, codenamed "Raven Ridge." To begin with, AMD CEO Lisa Su stated that "Raven Ridge" will also be sold under the Ryzen brand. This would mark a departure from the less-than-stellar A-series branding for its performance APUs. "Raven Ridge" likely combines a "Zen" quad-core CPU complex (CCX) with an integrated GPU based on one of AMD's newer GPU architectures (either "Polaris" or "Vega").
The range-topping Ryzen 7 series will lead the company's lineup throughout Q1, with six-core and quad-core Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 series launches being scheduled for later this year. Our older reports pinned Ryzen 5 series rollout for Q2, and Ryzen 3 series for the second half of 2017. This is likely also when the company rolls out "Raven Ridge" initially as mobile Ryzen products (BGA packages, which will likely also be used in AIOs), and later as desktop socket AM4 parts.
Looking deeper down into the future, AMD will roll out CPU architectures that incrementally update the "Zen" architecture, much in the same way "Piledriver," "Steamroller," and "Excavator" updated "Bulldozer." For now, Lisa Su is referring to two such future architectures as "Zen2" and "Zen3." These could imply that "Zen2" and "Zen3" will still be heavily based on "Zen," but come with new features and minor performance improvements, don't expect the >50% IPC leap seen between Bulldozer and Zen, but a more reasonable 5-15% gain seen between Bulldozer thru Excavator.
AMD also revealed that Ryzen processors support ECC memory, and briefly touched upon its new Infinity Fabric, a new interconnect technology that succeeds HyperTransport, which handles communication between the two quad-core "Zen" CPU complexes (CCX units) on "Summit Ridge." It also handles inter-component communication on AMD's "Vega" GPUs.
