AMD Raven Ridge APU packaging photos and benchmarks leak

[Nobull]

My main desktop system is still rocking i5 2400 and a 6950. I've been meaning to upgrade for the last year but the state of the graphics card and RAM markets has put me off. I'm seriously considering just getting a 2400G as a stopgap. Can always throw in a discrete GPU later if the market ever sorts itself out. Would really love a SFF build. Are there any decent M-ITX boards on the horizon, I wonder? On the other hand, not sure whether to wait it out on the next Intel NUC with on-die Vega and see what the price/performance is like. They've traditionally offered pretty terrible value though, no?

More 3DMark scores leaked:

Those are the same scores as the youtube leak in the article. I'm still trying to dig out reference 3DMark 11 scores to compare them to and pick apart the reliability and performance implications of all of this. Perhaps they're not as shady as I first thought...

EDIT: Have found an A10 4600M 3DMark 11 result: let's see how that alters my table:

Score type	A10 4600m	Ryzen 3 2200U
Graphics	872 1160	1898
Physics	2530 2442	3530
Combined	294 635	1905
Overall	793 1155	2040

So, still a big improvement, although not quite as huge as I initially thought.

The intel NUCs with vega have an RGB skull on the front, so are guaranteed to go for silly money. AMD M-ITX boards on B350 and X370 are already available, and should work with the new APUs (possibly needing a new bios). So even if there aren't any 400-series M-ITX boards at launch, you can still put together a raven ridge M-ITX system as soon as the APUs hit retail

Potentially a 2400G(OC) benchmark leak here:



Pretty good stuff, if it turns out to be correct.

Oops just saw CTF's post:

I have a feeling these Ryzen apus will sell like hot cakes..!

Looks like getting 3200mhz will pay dividends as you are not paying that much more for it. An extra £15 for the 16GB kit and probably roughly half that for the 8GB kit.

Let's hope gaming performance pans out!

A bit of a security lapse, having this pocket sized, expensive chip on display through the box. How easy would it be to cut an appropriately sized hole on the window side of the box and remove the CPU, then put the box back on the shelf? Five minute job, if that. Much better if the CPU was deep in the box and so any scumbag thief would have to tear the whole box apart to get at it.

Yes fingers crossed! Those rumours of a 1792 apu keep playing on my mind though.. I wouldn't be surprised if another Ryzen apu appeared a few months down the line with said 1792 cores(28 CUs) to help with the midrange desktop market. A Ryzen 7 apu equivalent to an RX 570 .. I can imagine being happy with that even if it goes for £300.. PcGamesn specualtion:

There was a SiSoft Sandra leak, which was subsequently removed from the database, which detailed a potential AMD APU with a massive 28 CUs. That would give it 1,792 GCN cores, which is almost on par with the number in the RX 570 discrete card. The likelihood of AMD realistically being able to squeeze that large a GPU component inside the same AM4-compatible package is pretty low, but we can hope.

A Ryzen 7 APU with such monstrous GPU power would be unprecedented and could be the PC gaming saviour we need in the face of the cryptocurrency inflation being inflicted on the graphics card market at the moment.

It could be that Intel CPU with the integrated AMD Vega M GPU??

Maybe but I remember the SiSoft Sandra result showing the chips a AMD rather than Intel+AMD graphics but it might be just the way the Sandra refers to the unknown chip. On Anandtech some people were proposing it might be an bespoke chip for a new Apple Mac or Mac mini.. Maybe it's an 12nm apu that might take time to come to market..

Quite a lot of speculation on the Anandtech thread:

The last post proposes it might be a 7nm apu that'll replace Raven Ridge but I doubt there would a working chip this early on that gets leaked on to Sisoft Sandra.. A 12nm apu would be more plausible imo.

I think with that many CUs,it would need something HBM2 or GDDR5 otherwise it would hit a massive memory bandwidth issues.

We don't know if it has more CUs onboard but they are disabled for yields or power consumption purposes.
