AMD High-Performance Desktop Updates
Continuing its path of PC management and trade firsts, AMD introduced the third Gen AMD Ryzen desktop processor, essentially the most superior desktop processor on the planet with ground-breaking efficiency throughout gaming, productiveness, and content material creation functions. Based on the brand new “Zen 2” core structure with AMD chiplet design method, third Gen AMD Ryzen desktop processors are anticipated to supply extra performance-critical on-die cache than ever earlier than to unleash elite gaming efficiency. Additionally, all third Gen Ryzen desktop processors are supported by the world’s first PCIe 4.Zero PC readiness for essentially the most superior motherboards, graphics, and storage applied sciences accessible, setting a brand new commonplace of efficiency and offering the final word client expertise.

With the third Gen AMD Ryzen desktop processor household, AMD launched a brand new class of Ryzen 9 desktop processor with the flagship 12 core/24 thread Ryzen 9 3900X. Pushing the high-performance envelope for socket AM4 by providing management efficiency, the household is rounded out with Eight core Ryzen 7 fashions and 6 core Ryzen 5 fashions.

During the keynote, Dr. Su confirmed varied reside demonstrations highlighting management efficiency of the third Gen Ryzen desktop processors versus aggressive manufacturing components:

• Ryzen™ 7 3700X vs. i7-9700Ok with real-time rendering: The Ryzen 7 3700X supplied 1% extra single-threaded, and 30% extra in multi-threaded efficiency. 
• Ryzen™ 7 3800X vs. i9-9900Ok with PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds gameplay: The Ryzen 7 3800X matched the efficiency of the i9-9900Ok.
• Ryzen™ 9 3900X vs. i9-9920X with Blender Render: The Ryzen 9 3900X beat the Intel i9 9920X by greater than 16%.

third Gen AMD Ryzen Desktop Processor Line-up and Availability

AMD additionally launched a brand new X570 chipset for socket AM4, supporting the world’s first PCIe 4.Zero readiness, which exhibited 42% quicker storage efficiency than PCIe 3.0, enabling high-performance graphics card, networking units, NVMe drives, and extra. With PCIe 4.Zero doubling the bandwidth for motherboards with the X570 chipset over PCIe 3.0, PC fanatics can achieve extra efficiency and suppleness when constructing customized techniques. The X570 gives the broadest ecosystem readiness in AMD historical past, with over 50 new motherboard fashions anticipated from ASRock, Asus, Colorful, Gigabyte, MSI, in addition to PCIe 4.Zero storage options from companions together with Galaxy, Gigabyte, and Phison. The third Gen AMD Ryzen desktop processors are anticipated to be accessible for buy globally on July 7, 2019. 

In addition, main OEMs and System Integrators, together with Acer, Asus, CyberPowerPC, HP, Lenovo, and MAINGEAR bolstered robust ecosystem assist for the brand new platforms by saying plans to supply third Gen AMD Ryzen processor-based gaming desktop techniques over the approaching months.

AMD High-Performance Gaming Updates
AMD unveiled RDNA, the subsequent foundational gaming structure that was designed to drive the way forward for PC gaming, console, and cloud for years to come back. With a brand new compute unit design, RDNA is anticipated to ship unimaginable efficiency, energy and reminiscence effectivity in a smaller package deal in comparison with the earlier technology Graphics Core Next (GCN) structure. It is projected to offer as much as 1.25X greater performance-per-clock and as much as 1.5X greater performance-per-watt over GCN, enabling higher gaming efficiency at decrease energy and lowered latency.

RDNA will energy the upcoming 7nm AMD Radeon RX 5700-series graphics playing cards which function high-speed GDDR6 reminiscence and assist for the PCIe 4.Zero interface.

During the keynote, Dr. Su showcased the facility of RDNA and one of many new AMD Radeon RX 5700-series graphics playing cards in a head-to-head comparability with a RTX 2070 card operating a Strange Brigade gameplay demo, beating the competitors delivering unimaginable ~100 FPS gaming. 

AMD Radeon RX 5700-series graphics playing cards are anticipated to be accessible in July 2019. Learn extra on the AMD E3 livestream occasion on June 10, 2019 at Three pm PT.

AMD Datacenter Updates
The AMD datacenter enterprise continues to realize traction with prospects, profitable in software workloads from the most important cloud environments to exascale supercomputing, and capitalizing on the huge market alternative for each AMD EPYC and AMD Radeon Instinct™ processors.

During the keynote, Dr. Su continued the anticipation across the next-generation AMD EPYC processors with the primary public aggressive demonstration of a 2nd Gen AMD EPYC server platform. The demonstration confirmed a 2P 2nd Gen AMD EPYC based mostly server vs. a 2P Intel Xeon® 8280-based server operating a NAMD Apo1 v2.12 benchmark check. The preproduction 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processor powered server outperformed the Intel Xeon powered servers by greater than 2x on the NAMD benchmark. 

Finally, Microsoft Azure introduced the achievement of beforehand unobtainable ranges of efficiency for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) utilizing an Azure HB cloud occasion operating on an 1st Gen AMD EPYC-processor based mostly system. Leveraging the distinctive reminiscence bandwidth of AMD EPYC, Azure HB scaled Siemens Star -CCM+ software throughout over 11,500 cores utilizing a Le Mans 100 Million Cell simulation, effectively past the by no means earlier than achieved 10,000 cores objective. “HB-series VMs on Azure are a game changer for HPC in the cloud. For the first time, HPC customers can scale their MPI workloads to tens of thousands of cores with the agility of the cloud and performance and economics that rival on-premise cluster,” stated Navneet Joneja, head of product for Azure Virtual Machines, Microsoft Corp. “We look forward to this new Azure offering doing great things for HPC-driven innovation and productivity.”

The 2nd Gen AMD EPYC server processor household is projected to ship as much as 2X the performance-per socket and as much as 4X the floating performance-per-socket over the earlier technology. The 2nd Gen AMD EPYC server processor household is anticipated to launch in Q3 2019.
