History
Zen refresh is set to succeed Zen in the future, sometimes around 2018. Zen refresh will feature the same core as Zen but will take advantage of the new GlobalFoundries' 12nm proces to deliver higher clock speeds and improved power consumption.
Codenames
Core | C/T | Target |
---|---|---|
Pinnacle Ridge | Up to 8/16 | Mainstream to high-end desktops & enthusiasts market processors |
Picasso | 4/8 | Mainstream desktop & mobile processors with GPU |
Release Dates
AMD intends on launching 2nd generation Ryzen in April of 2018. 2nd Generation Ryzen Threadripper and Ryzen PRO processors will launch in the second half of 2018.
Architecture
Serving as a light refresh over Zen, those processors have around ten percent higher base frequency for the same power envelope.
Key changes from Zen
