thank you to Razer for sending us to PAX West 2016 this year check out the new blade stealth in the video description down below so we're here after the show after everyone has left to check out the AMD seventh generation apu processors and am4 motherboards super interesting super cool but we don't have them here and we have no videos of them either so we'll be putting up what slides we can and other than that it's just me random footage of us at PAX now the new AM for platform supports seventh generation AMD a-series OEM desktops that's mainly what we're going to be talking about today although they didn't have information on what OMS or where you'd be able to buy them all I was able to figure out was that at the very least HP is going to support this at Costco as of right now they will support seventh generation processors with a 35 watt and 65 watt TDP with the 65 watt TDP matching up to the performance of previous generation 95 watt TDP processors they will also support new ddr4 memory with up to 2400 megahertz of speed this 35 watt and 65 watt TDP split enables you to go for a performance angle or a cool and quiet angle on the platform now this is currently OEM only support and theoretically you would be able to install a Zen processor into this a m4 motherboard I was confirmed with that from AMD the problem here is that it might not happen because BIOS support would have to be given to you by the OEMs so it's actually rather unlikely now aim for motherboards will come with a stack of different chipsets for a small form factor you'll have AMD xB or a 300 chipsets for the essential like workstation PCs you'll have AMD a 320 chipsets and then once you start getting into mainstream a little bit higher performance stuff they'll have AMD b3 50s now for enthusiast chipsets we don't actually have the name of the chipset yet we'll have to wait till probably the Zen launch to get that other features that they're currently calling out our PCIe gen3 USB 3.1 gen2 nvme support and SATA Express there is also a huge list of processors that support a m4 motherboards and they range from about 2 cores to 4 cores loose costs of 3 point or gigahertz - 4.2 gigahertz on the graphics out of things you got Radeon r5 upto radeon r7 with GPU see use from six all the way up to eight and clock speeds of about eight hundred and forty seven up to eleven hundred and eight now for those of you that have been excited for Zen this is very interesting this is the groundwork that is being laid out for the Zen architecture we need that a.m. for platform support and what's cool is that these OEMs are going to be rolling this out and sort of beta testing it for us any problems that come up with the aim for platform will be found before is then launches and that's really cool if you thought this was interesting and have anything to comment about it let me know in the comments down below or on twitter at Linus tech also thanks to Razer for sending us to pax OS 2016 this year we're doing a huge giveaway with them because we just passed three million freaking subscribers we're giving a new razor blade and a new razor blade stealth to awesome super high performance ultra books so click that video description link down below Ed's a Yago made custom art to be etched into the laptops looks amazing check it out stay subscribed Linus tech tips to see all the rest of our paxos 2016 content and I'll see you next time
