and the issued a statement recently to digitize about the increased motherboard costs potentially of AMD and there's n chipset is reportedly having issues with speed for USB 3.1 and that's because of a transmission find degradation as the USB 3.1 ports distance themselves from the chipset so that's the sort of rumors report going on right now and thats related to andy's decision to use ASM media for their chipset design rather than doing it internal but i think the real story here is actually the chipsets readiness to hit market so as of this statement two digit times andy has said that the new Zen chipset should be ready and hitting production by quarter three and we'll be in mass production by quarter fourth and that would coincide with earlier predictions and and these own forecasts that zen am for motherboards and these n chipset will be available by quarter for this year and that would include the new zend cpus like the FX cpu which is getting a revival with zen so the main thing here for those FX eps if you haven't seen it just a quick recap the one shown at computex a couple weeks ago now was a sixteen thread cpu with eight cores and andy has advertised the chip has been forty percent faster than an excavator now forty percent we don't know exactly what that means if it's just overall performance or IPC or what have you but it is the number that AMD has advertised as the the performance improvement over excavator so that's something noteworthy for sure seventh generation AP you should also be coming sometime in the second half of the year so that's what we've got for you the big news here is just that the zen chipset will beat begin shipment in quarter three and it will begin production on mass in quarter for you will probably be able to buy stuff around that time as for the USB 3.1 issue it's it's something that can be resolved by moving the ports to be closer to to the IC by using an aftermarket IC like they do with the current FX boards and through plus boards already do this so it's really not new some other board manufacturers but the reports we've seen have indicated that motherboard cost that's not what we pay as consumers that's what the manufacturer is paid to create the product the cost would increase anywhere from two or three to five dollars which is significant but there's time to hopefully resolve that and in the very least they can always kind of work around it by using these aftermarket separate ICS or just moving the ports or whatever so that's something we will certainly look into invalidate once Zen is chipping but that's all I got for you for this quick news update as always subscribe for more information we've got the RX for ad review coming up very soon here so that's pretty relevant news to this video thanks for watching I'll see you all next time
