so I just finished up at AMD's keynote conference where they announced two big pieces of news especially for tech enthusiasts the first one being the brightest than 3000 series CPUs looks like they're going to hit mid year they didn't give any specific dates but today we're gonna go over the details on what they did show and also what I think about this CPU and what they announced and then we'll talk a little bit later about the Radeon seven which is their new high end GPU also on seven nanometer welcome back to tech yesterday we're at CES 2019 straight from Las Vegas Nevada and today we're gonna be talking about the new 3000 series Verizon now there wasn't a whole lot of details that were mentioned today except they did show us a Cinebench score comparing the Rison 3000 series eight core 16 threaded CPU versus the ninety nine hundred k now did edged it out out of the box settings versus out of the box settings however it's one thing I'd have to guesstimate would be the clock speeds on the new rise and 3000 series CPUs if it's anything I'd guesstimate between 4.4 to 4.6 gigahertz all called Boost speeds since razzin does perform a little bit better in Cinebench than the Intel counterparts especially clock for clock that's where I'm going to be putting a number on those clock speeds for you guys who are expecting that in terms of architectural improvements you'll probably see some slight tweaks to IPC just like you did from Verizon 1000 series to the 2000 series CPUs but in terms of the core counts and threads this is where things get really interesting in my opinion because we'll first start off with the epic CPUs which they did talk about and they announced if eclis that there will be a 64 core a 128 threaded epoch CPU going into a single socket so they indeed have doubled the core counts double the threads but when it came to the mainstream CPUs there are only announcing eight core 16 threads on a single die versus the previous generation where they had two dies interconnected by the Infinity fabric so I think AMD have done such a good move here because this is going to reduce the latency from the interquartile 'evil 3 cache and the actual CPU core itself and I think this is a big benefit for people who demand the snappiest experience possible which is why I think the ring boss has done so well up until now or at least up until mid year until the rise in 3000 series is being released so I think this is a brilliant move from Andy where they're focusing their lower core count threaded CPUs for mainstream desktop users and then they're going to be focusing those higher core count higher thread count CPUs for people who need extra cores and need extra threads but don't necessarily need the reduced latency so in terms of pricing however they were pretty vague they didn't really give out any specific details on the CPU rather than just a demo and saying that's a core 16 threads and it's beating the 99 hundred K and Cinebench the one thing we did see was that the PCB and the design of it was different than the previous generation so they are using a single die for the cause themselves but also using the input/output hub on the CPU on a different piece of silicon so it seems like we would come back to these adored TV rumors now where he was suggesting 16 cause 32 threads and I think maybe he was just a year or a couple of years ahead of himself with those rumors and I don't think mainstream desktop users quite need 16 coarse 32 threads just yet and so I think the 8 core 16 thread snappier higher clock speeds better IPC play from AMD is one that is going to excite people in 2019 now in terms of being right or wrong it doesn't really matter this is why we have to wait for the official news and releases from the companies themselves another great benefit of the next series rise in CPUs is that they're going to be introducing PCIe gen so definitely see this introduced with the next-generation x5 70 motherboards as well as some other improvements too so with the Rison 3000 series you can indefinitely expect 8 cores 16 threads 6 cores 12 threads and most likely for course 8 threads as well as better latency and higher clock speeds the IPC and architectural improvements themselves obviously have to get a hands on sample and review it which won't come for some time yet however moving on to the next big piece of news was the Radeon graphics cards this will be out mid February with the flagship $699 Radeon 7 it's got 60 compute units they're also touting 25 percent performance increase over the previous generation I guess they referring to Vega 64 and this didn't excite me as much as the rise in 3000 news because we got a lot more Vega details for something that's releasing in just about a month there wasn't a whole lot of performance figures there wasn't any power consumption thrown out there unlike the CPUs were they were throwing our power consumption figures where it was pulling ahead of the Intel CPU getting a better score but also getting a lot of power consumption the Radeon seven an ohmmeter all's we saw in terms of benchmark scores was some 4k figures where was being compared against a competitor's card we don't know if that's an RTS 20 80 or 90 X 20 80 TI so my guess would be it would likely be a 20 80 that they're comparing it to and not actually a 20 80 TI because the Vegas 64 did fall behind the 20 80 and so giving that a boost in performance does sort of match it up versus the 20 80 we don't know until we get the cards and test them for ourselves but in terms of specs we'll be looking at 16 gigabytes of HB m to memory in terms of GPU clock speeds and other civic details that were very vague on that and it will come bundled with various different games so that's the Radeon 7 in terms of the mid-range and the lower end cards there's no details out there at the moment of course we do hope for successors to the rx 518 RX 5 70 and even the RX 590 but since the RS 590 was just released perhaps they're using the seven nanometer die pacifically for the higher end graphics cards hey guys that's it from AMD's new keynote in 2019 from CES the Rison 3000 series CPUs are coming and they're going to shake things up a lot in terms of pricing and availability we don't really know those details yet and then they've got the Radeon 7 graphics card the new flagship today one and give you an in-depth review and if you enjoyed today's video then be sure to hit that like button and let us know in the comment section below what you think of AMD's announcements love reading your thoughts and opinions as always and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye you
