With AMD Ryzen 2 rumors in the air, we wholly expected the chip maker to tease its next generation processor family, and that’s exactly what we got. What we didn’t expect was for AMD to preview its roadmap on CPUs and GPUs going into 2020.
Before we get to ahead of ourselves, you should know that Ryzen 2 will release this April. Built upon a new 12nm Zen+ architecture – out-smalling the 14nm transistors of Intel Coffee Lake – AMD promises Ryzen 2 will bring higher clock speeds and Precision Boost 2 technology for greater performance and efficiency.
Unlike Intel, AMD is sticking to the same AM4 socket, so users looking to upgrade to Ryzen 2 won’t have to buy a whole new motherboard along with it. However, Ryzen 2 will get a new X470 chipset that’s optimized for the new processor family and lower power consumption.
Given that we’re already starting to see SenseMi improvements in AMD’s new Ryzen-based desktop APUs, we can expect the same performance and efficiency increases in the company’s next processor line. This includes optimized power usage through Pure Power smart sensors and greater overclocking potential through Extended Frequency Range 2.
