It is reported that the flagship desktop 14-nm hybrid processor Raven Ridge AM4 will have four processing cores Zen, a graphics processor on Vega microarchitecture with 1024 stream processors (16 computational units), as well as on the substrate will be a place for memory chips HBM2. The area of the crystal at the same amount to a total of about 210 square millimeters, and heat new desktop APU will be in the range of 35 to 95 watts, depending on the model.
Of course, Raven Ridge processors not only use HBM2 memory, and will also have a good old controller DDR4. Apparently, the faster memory HBM2 will use the high end graphics system, and DDR4 memory will be satisfied computing cores. The yield of hybrid processors is expected at the beginning of the second half next year.
AMD is also preparing a mobile version of Raven Ridge which will have up to four cores, but unlike their desktop counterparts, get GPU Vega with only a maximum of 768 stream processors, and will be deprived of HBM2 memory, and will be satisfied with DDR4 memory. These APU will be placed on the chip area of about 170 square millimeters, and heat will vary from 4 to 35 watts.
Finally, it is reported that AMD is also developing hybrid processors for high-performance computing (HPC). These APU will have up to 32 cores Zen (as well as preparing the server processor, code-named Naples), and up to 4096 stream processors AMD Vega. This hybrid processor can provide very high processing power, and find application as a part of deep learning systems, which are now used discrete accelerators based on GPU.
