what's going on guys hope you're all doing well I am in Las Vegas Nevada here for CES 2018 but actually drove out here with whyphy sauce she's getting ready in the room so if you hear any ambient noise and it's distracting that's her fault but we drove out here a few days early to attend AMD CES tech Day 2018 where they shared a lot of information about their upcoming products for this year it's very exciting stuff there's a lot of info so I've tried to trim as much fat as possible just to curate all the information that I figured you guys would be most curious about so just let's just start off with the 2018 rollout plans Rison desktop and mobile AP users are expected to arrive q1 with second gen rise and desktop processors and rise in pro mobile ap use following in q2 and then finally we're gonna see second gen thread Ripper and second gen rise in pro desktop CPUs in the second half of the year and we'll touch on each of these more specifically apart from second gen rising thread Ripper they didn't really talk much at all about that other than it's coming soon so I'm gonna start off with all of the Mobile announcements first and then we'll work our way over to desktop by the end of the video so starting with Radeon Vega mobile processors those are going to be coming soon they're gonna be featuring HBM 2 and they're gonna be super low powered very small footprint they're gonna have a very short Z height as well 1.7 millimeters that's almost half of what we saw with discrete Vega meaning that they're gonna be able to fit into slimmer and more ultra portable laptops and notebooks and things like that of course you know low power means less heat as well we already they are capable we should be able to see some of these notebooks be able to drive pretty nice VR experiences whether it be you know oculus rift or the HTC vive 300 certified freesync displays to choose from we should be seeing more freesync two monitors become widely available in 2018 Radeon will support HDMI 2.1 so we'll be able to get a nice variable refresh rate technology out of our Vega mobile processors and unfortunately there was no word of any desktop Vega being fit into mobile devices so it looks like for the foreseeable future if you want super high-end mobile get graphics performance then you would still be going with team green for now but mobile Vega is at the very least going to offer much lower cost and less power consumption and heat as well moving on to rise in mobile ap use they didn't really save or throw around the acronym APU very much they would just say rising mobile processors with Radeon Vega graphics but for just the sake of convenience I'm just gonna call them ap use whether they like it or not so we saw the risin 5 2400 you launched late last year just in December and it had pretty nice gaming performance especially compared to the Intel integrated graphics and we have even more rise in mobile ap use to follow for this year starting with the risin 320 200 you there's gonna be a 2 core 4 thread part with a base clock of 2.5 gigahertz and a max boost of 3.43 compute units a max GPU clock of 1,000 megahertz 5 megabytes of l2 and l3 combined cache and a 15 watt TDP just for the record all of these chips that I'm about to list off here have a TDP of 15 watts so I have to keep repeating that rise in 320 300 you is gonna have four cores and four threads we're gonna see a basin boost of two gigahertz and 3.4 gigahertz respectively 6 C use max GPU clock of eleven hundred megahertz six megabytes of l2 l3 cache and we did see a demo of that chip running Wolfenstein 2 at 1920 by 1080 on an HP Envy 360 notebook again it's a 15 watt notebook it looked really fluid from you know what I could see from from my seat looking at the giant projector and this is again with no discrete GPU this is all off of the integrated Vega graphics on on these new ap use which is pretty impressive the risin 5 2500 you is gonna have 4 cores and 8 threads with a base and boost of 2.0 gigahertz and 3.6 gigahertz respectively we have 8c use a max GPU clock of eleven hundred megahertz six megabytes of l2 l3 cache and then finally we have the Rison seven 2700 you this appears to be their flagship mobile apu with four cores and eight threads so we are getting some multi-threaded action there base clock of 2.2 gigahertz with a max boost of 3.8 10 C use the max GPU clock of 1,300 megahertz and 6 megabytes of cache this falls slightly behind the core i7 8550 you in single threaded Cinebench but soars ahead as you can see here in the multi-threaded test in fact it's actually getting same multi-threading performance as the cry 5 7600 K which is of course a desktop chip so that's pretty impressive and this of course is gonna be using infinity fabric to sort of bind Xen and Vega together it's gonna act as the singular backbone of the apu governing the entire SOC all the elements on the chip will be serviced through infinity fabric which is also what's going to be managing precision boost to and mobile exif are and as you might expect we're going to see these chips become available in a wide variety of two-in-ones ultra fins and gaming laptops of course Rison pro mobile these are also going to be featuring the Radeon Vega graphics so these are essentially just the pro versions of the aps we just talked about these are really aimed at the enterprise and commercial markets that are looking for a silicon level security and various features that you know enhance enterprise class support and things like that the three skis that were mentioned here are the resin three pro 2300 you rise in five pro 2500 you and the rise in 7 pro 2700 you these will be made available with a wide range of enterprise ultra portable and workstation laptops come q2 of this year and then moving on to our desktop stuff this is this is what gets me excited first off we've got rise in desktop AP use alright launching February 12th that's right around the corner these are gonna be great for low cost low power small form-factor systems HT pcs ultra portable gaming rigs you name it so these are gonna be pretty exciting Rison 520 400 G is gonna have four cores and eight threads we have a base in max boost clock of 3.6 and 3.9 gigahertz respectively 11 C use max GPU clock of twelve hundred and fifty megahertz six megabytes of l2 l3 cache up to a 65 watt TDP and a price of 169 US dollars very attractive this doubles the graphics performance of the core i5 8400 in time spy also matches the performance of an eighty four hundred and a GT 1030 which is of course a discrete GPU and that is to say that you're getting about the same performance as something that has a higher TDP and is gonna cost you quite a bit more the only other ski when this family was the Rison 320 200 g4 core for thread part base clock of 3.5 and a max boost of 3.7 gigahertz 8c use a max GPU clock of 1,100 megahertz and six megabytes of l2 l3 cache once again up to a 65 watt TDP retailing for $99 pretty awesome now personally I think the most exciting thing about these APU is is that they're fully unlocked which means the CPU clock the GPU clock and of course the DRAM can all be overclocked and in AMD's testing you know with the help of infinity fabric and all that overclocking all three of those elements they were able to see a 39 percent uplift in 3d mark firestrike 39 percent that's crazy they even had some fun just for the walls and they tried overclocking it with ln2 Ellen 2 overclocking on an APU and the GPU clock actually hit 2 gigahertz which is freaking insane so there's gonna be all these things are gonna be a lot of fun to play with I can't wait to get my hands on them for testing and it definitely sounds promising for gamers who are on a more you know conservative budget or if you're just looking for something like an HTPC breast assure there will be many builds with these AP use at least on this channel finally let's talk about those second gen rise in desktop CPUs these are the full-fledged successors to the you know the 1000 series CPUs that did so well upon their launch last year no models specifications or pricing was mentioned at the tech day so I don't have any of that for you guys and that's gonna come later but there's still some juicy details here the 2000 series roadmap for this year is gonna look pretty similar as it did last year with Verizon 7 coming out first followed by Rison 5 but then we've got the AP use in the desktop family now so we've got the Rison 5 AP use launching right after and then we have Rison 3 desktop and then rise in 3 AP use to follow so it's gonna be a pretty intense line up of launches this year if you thought last year was crazy AMD just seems to like not be slowing down their momentum at all these second gen rising desktop CPUs are of course going to be the first to use the 12 nanometers n plus core again with Zen 2 and Zen 3 to follow later on we're gonna be seeing higher clock speeds with the second generation of CPUs which is exciting that was one area where Intel just sort of demolished their competition with the able to hit you know upwards of five 5.1 5.2 gigahertz with AMD still you know rising struggling to hit four gigahertz sometimes so that's gonna be really nice AMD also mentioned their precision boost to technology so that's gonna be coming back but even better than ever more optimized in ways that I'm not going to get into detail right now just to keep the video of it shorter we also got confirmation that all the second-generation rise in desktop CPUs will be compatible with existing am4 motherboards so that includes you know the X 370 chipset boards and be 350 chips at boards all you'll need is a BIOS update from your motherboard manufacturer in order to make that all work but that's nice and in conversely you could even slot 1000 series CPUs into newer am4 motherboards when they roll out later this year that's gonna include boards on the X 470 chipset that's the brand new one that's gonna have some nice features that they didn't really get into exactly what features that chip that's gonna come with and there was also no mention of potentially cheaper be for 50 boards but I would have to imagine that those are also gonna be coming soon as for the X 470 boards those are gonna be arriving the same time as the second-generation desktop CPUs in April of 2018 and last but not least AMD was very proud to announce their Wraith prism because more RGB is how they phrased it this is of course gonna feature per LED color control around the ring illuminated fan blades enhanced motherboard compatibility and there's even a dark mode for all of you RGB heathens out there also kind of convenient is a switchable OC fan profile and they're assuring us that it's gonna be operating very quietly like we've seen with all the other Wraith coolers so those are pretty much all the highlights that I wanted to share with you guys in a nutshell if you guys want some more information maybe Paul from Paul's hardware has also uploaded a video go ahead and check that out if he has I'll put a link in the description below he may have done a deeper dive than I have or all the other tech journalists out there who were at the event go ahead and check those out too this is really exciting stuff though AMD has a lot of things on the horizon and you know I think Intel's gonna have their work cut out for them just as much this year if not more so than they did in 2017 and of course more competition is always good for consumers at the end of the day on a final note be sure to stay subscribed or get subscribed if you're not already so you don't miss any of the CES cover CES starts in two days so I'll be pumping out a lot dozens of videos or at least at least a dozen a dozen or so videos of the events so it should be very exciting as well to see what all the other vendors apart from AMD are gonna be coming out with later this year but guys thanks so much for watching stay tuned for more coming soon and I will see y'all in the next video
