hello good people Ebert here with Hardware Canucks and yes I do sound sick
that's because unfortunately I did catch the CES flu and I'm slowly recovering
from it but anyways coming back to the topic
back at CES seemed he announced their 3rd generation Ryzen processors along
with their Radeon 7 graphics card which is a really interesting GPU for the
price so I really can't wait to test that out and I give you guys my verdict
on it definitely stay tuned for that video very soon but we spent a good
amount of time talking to AMD and their board partners regarding these new CPUs
and it was actually pretty interesting because you know Gen 3 Ryzen
CPU's have a lot of people talking about where AMD's going this year and how much
their processors have changed within the short amount of time so everyone is
excited about it and I think you should be as well so when we talk about that
right after this evolve with the times consider nvme storage today the new RC
100 brings affordable nvme storage into your hands with various capacities in
this super compact form factor that plugs directly into your motherboard
it's extremely powerful and utilizes Toshiba advanced 3d flash memory for
awesome speeds so you can be a happy user the RC 100 by Toshiba the nvme
drive to consider check it out Phillip now you guys might recall that when I
covered the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X and the Ryzen 5 2600X I was actually super
impressed by what they brought to the table not only that but Intel really
didn't have an answer since their CPUs were just far too expensive by
comparison but now we're actually gonna start to see 3rd generation Ryzen
CPUs hitting sometime this summer now before I get too far into this video
it's super important to understand what these new processors are made of
basically the first generation Ryzen used the Zen whereas the 2700 acts and
other second generation processors use the Zen plus design which refined the
originals and architecture meanwhile what I'm talking about in this video is
the third generation rise in CPUs which are based off these and to architecture
and AMD's new 7 nanometer manufacturing process that seven animator
node should actually allow them to pull ahead of Intel for the very first time
in almost a decade basically Intel has been stuck with an endless number of
skylake refreshes and as they wait for the ten nanometer ramp up and ice lake
while AMD has sprinted ahead that poses a problem for intel since isolate won't
be ready until the end of 2019 at the earliest while AMD's Ryzen 3000 series
will be shipping in volume to customers this summer which is awesome part of the
reason why AMD has been able to move so quickly to the 7 nm node is
how they're designing their processors instead of a single large complicated
die that old si si few chords memory controllers the IO stages and other
elements they broken things off into multiple smaller sections so they're
easier to manufacture yields can also increase this way in the case of Ryzen 3
up to 8 x86 cores are housed on a smaller sam nanometer die while the i/o
gets pushed off into a separate section this approach can actually be scaled up
words to create processors with even more cores for threadRipper and epyc
families but that's not exactly what makes Ryzen 3 so exciting what AMD
showed that their press conference was a very early 8 core 16 thread chip running
equal to an Intel 9900K at stock settings in Cinebench based on our own
tests that would make me 3000 series chip roughly 15% faster than the
previous generation not only that but a system was consuming just 133 Watts
versus the 9900 case a hundred and eighty watts
remember this is with relatively early silicon which means it isn't running the
final frequencies if Indy is able to further improve clock speeds before
lunch we may see their third generation Ryzen
products easily overcome beaker and coffee lake CPUs and unless Intel can
bake some serious performance improvements into their isolate
architecture even that may have a tough time with Zen 2 this is a huge deal guys
but remember AMD needs to improve their lightly threaded performance if they
have any hope of beating Intel across the board games in particular tend to
fall into Intel's camp since their architecture excels when its operating
at lower thread counts supposedly a lot of Zen 2 internal revisions are
focused on bridging this gap so let's hope that's true
not only ambi promising 3rd gen Ryzen
processors will be the best for performance and efficiency but they'll
also be technically compatible with all aim for motherboards I'm saying
technically because motherboard manufacturers have to release a proper
bios for that kind of support and everyone we've talked to is planning to
do exactly that while this sounds like a cool feature there will be some
limitations with backwards compatibility certain overclocking options may be
disabled and memory support might be cut down a bit the third
Ryzen processors will also support PCI Express 4.0 which isn't a big deal right
now but it could be pretty important for future and niimi storage devices and
GPUs originally we thought this feature would be exclusive to the new 500 series
motherboards but I've been talking to a few reps at CES it turns out all the
generation 300 and 400 series will be compatible with PCI 4.0 - the reason for
this is pretty simple physically and electrically the PCI 3.0 and 4.0 slots
are exactly the same the only difference is the 4.0 standard has a faster
signaling rate because of the increased signaling requirements traces on the
motherboard can't exceed six inches before additional components are needed
to drive PCI Express 4.0 has a higher bandwidth since older motherboards
weren't built with those components only the first x16 PCI slots would possibly
receive access to the 4.0 standard that's a big if - because backwards
compatibility in this case would require substantial BIOS work it's still going
to be interesting to see if any company actually does it though now I'm not sure
how many people will actually take advantage of all this backwards
compatibility but at least AMD is giving people the option Intel really needs to
take some lessons here because I'm pretty tired of buying a new motherboard
with almost every one of their small CPU revisions the last thing that I
mentioned is overclocking now AMD hasn't published any numbers as of right now
but from our conversations with every motherboard manufacturer they are
planning on launching some extreme products for the game for platform so
that means expect extreme line of motherboards for duis and platform and
this also means that they could potentially be a good clock speed
Headroom with the third generation rise in CPUs which is very exciting for our
Canadian audience memory Express is a place to go for home business and gaming
electronics you can try before you buy a spec
great for peripherals by visiting one of their stores in Winnipeg Calgary or
Greater Vancouver and more they do custom pcs and will beat any Canadian
price guarantee so there you guys have it right now we still don't know all
that much about their generation rights and processors but even at this early
point I'm very excited about what AMD has to offer for the rest of 2019 in
fact this is probably the first in a lot of years that I feel like almost Intel
is far behind what at what aimed is achieving competition is always good but
if AMD can actually pull ahead of what Intel can achieve it's gonna be an
interesting year it's gonna be interesting rest of 2019 so I'm looking
forward to that anyways let me know what you guys think about the upcoming third
generation Ryzen processors are you satisfied with your current setup and if
you're planning if you're not would you actually consider upgrading to the third
generation Ryzenn CPUs also if you're an existing
x37 your x4 semi motherboard would you consider upgrading to the new processors
along with a new motherboard I'd love to New York thoughts in the
