AMD Zen 2 APU Release Speculation

[Luke.seven]

Hi everyone,

 

Today I'm here to speculate about when we might see APUs based on the upcoming Zen 2 architecture. I realise not many here are overly bothered about AMDs APU offerings, but I am. I've always found them interesting and I've been running an A10-7870K for... well, too long now. I would quite like to pull the trigger and upgrade to the 2400G (and all that entails DDR3>DDR4, FM2+>AM4 etc.) however, the looming launch of the 3000 series has made me hesitate.

However, given that the first Zen based APUs were the 2200g and 2400g, which were released with the 2000 series (or Zen+), but are actually 1000 series parts with a GPU shoved inside, does the LTT community agree that the first Zen 2 APUs will probably be launched not with the 3000 series, but the speculative 4000 series or (Zen 2+).

 

That said, we may still see a 3000 series APU, although it will most likely be a Zen+ part rather than Zen 2.

 

Of course, I could be entirely wrong, but who agrees with my logic here?

Yes, the apu is one gen behind the processors, so 3000 will be 12nm, and 4000 series will be 7nm on the apu part.

Zen 2 + Navi (from what we know) APUs are afaik sqedualled to come out late q4 2019 or q1 2020. which is when we are expected to see laptop offerings aswell. 

 

we will probably see Zen+ APUs comming out, though im unshure exactly when that will happen. but based on use getting zen+ mobile parts its more or less a given we will get zen+ desktop APUs
