An announcement from AMD tells us that there are more Ryzen processors that are coming later this year including processors for laptops, Ryzen “Threadripper” for high-end desktop PCs and the Ryzen 3 line. As you know based on our Ryzen benchmark, it made Intel take a knee when it came to the comparison between the two and it able to beat it at the price point.
The mobile processors from AMD will be codenamed ‘Raven Ridge’ and it will be an APU similar to the A-series of processors that the company released offering a unique architecture of merging the CPU and GPU into a single chip, which they expect to see in more laptop form factors ranging from ultra portable to gaming machines in the second half of 2017. The Threadripper is set to launch in summer and will have the same Zen architecture as the other processors but will have up to 16-cores and 32-threads. For comparison sake, the high-end Ryzen 7 has 8-cores and 16-threads.
There is no news on the Threadripper but expect it to not be cheap. AMD has also confirmed that the Ryzen 3 is still on track to launch later in 2017 and it is meant to fill the lower end of the line up, rivaling the i3 processors from Intel
