AMD confirms Raven Ridge Vega 11 and halts production Vega Reference Cards

AMD confirms Raven Ridge Vega 11 and halts production Vega Reference Cards

In a recent interview with James Prior, senior product manager at AMD (the man behind Threadripper) mentioned a number of things that are interesting. First and foremost, Prior mentions that socket AM4 will be supported until at least 2020, and it will support Ryzen 2, not be confused with the optimization of Zen, named Zen+.


Prior also mentioned Raven Ridge, the APU that makes use of Vega 11 GPU 11 enabled Compute Units = 704 shader procs (until now APUs only have had 8 and 10 CUs). 
 

 
Last but not least, Prior also confirmed that will be halting the production of RX Vega 56 and 64 reference models. This way they only make the GPUs which they sell to board partners. That clears up the selling space and thus partners will get far more chips available. Hopefully, that will get volume availability of the cards back on track.

Personally I don't care about CPU because DDR jeeps getting more expensive and I can hold on to my 2500k for a little wile. Plus, I need a new GPU...I can't wait for Vega mainstream but that's probably months away.


Personally wouldn't wait for a amd gpu, the cost of them is so inflaited right now it just isn't worth it unless you don't mind the cost. And bitcoin just keeps going up so I doubt this will change sadly.

It is totally horrible buying a pc right now, minus the case and fans almost everything has some form of price increase due to the demand coming from mining.

Good stuff, personally waiting on Zen+ news my potential next upgrade.


If rumours be true it is basically zen, with a small bump on clocks from my understanding, which to be fair was the biggest thing zen needed, if they can get 4.5ghz out of it I reckon it would do far better vs intel in many applications that prefer the higher clocks

In it's basic form yes, however it is a manufacturing process shrink after all. AMD did say that Zen was their worst case scenario, due to that Zen+ should clock better, probably consume less power, as a result perhaps stay cooler? Well that's speculation on my part, however as you said IF it can reach 4.5 (or hell, 4.3 even) that will be an instant sale for me, as Zen has better PPC compared to Intel, which potentially may get only better on 12nm.

I doubt Zen+ will be much of an improvement since we are talking a tweaked version of the same process. This coming from a Ryzen 1800x owner so no bias. Speaking of decided to go back to stock clocks and play with undervolting. My 1800x can undervolt like crazy, this thing is running so cool now.

with a little more clock speed these things will fly i can only get 3.9ghz out of 1600 but it starts to take stupid amounts of voltage to do so even if the can increase the average clock/overclock by another 300-400 mhz it give them a massive boost

I agree with the general consensus that the Zen+ will most likely be a small speed bump of up to 10%, with roughly the same power consumption.
Should be able to hit the 4-4.2GHz no problem though, will be just costly in Watts to get to 4.3-4.5.
At that speed, and seeing the latest roadmap from Intel, AMD should be sweet for a good year or so.
