Published 2019-05-26 17:49 by Hilbert Hagedoorn

AMD Computex's 2019 Opening Keynote has finished in which it talked many technologies like NAVI and the announcement of three Ryzen 3000 series processors. below the fold, you can read a recap of what has been announced.

AMD will open with the Computex's 2019 Opening Keynote. Anyone who gets up early (Europe) on Monday, May 27th, or stays awake for a long time, will be able to watch the presentation in the live stream on Youtube. The Ryzen 3000 processors based on Zen 2, the X570 Chipset and the graphics card generation Navi are expected as subjects.

It is expected that Su will cover Ryzen 3000 processors with Zen 2 cores. The Navi graphics cards should at least be addressed, but we expect an announcement here at E3 really. Here on Guru3D you can watch the Computex keynote live on site. We will live stream the event from this very news item. The Computex Keynote begins on Monday, May 27, at 10:00 am local time.

04:00 - Good morning the conference has started.

4:15 - Lisa Su takes the stage, talks 50th anniversary
4:20 - Su mentions 7nm CPU products and NAVI products will be discussed.

4:25 - AMD talks about the datacenter on Computex, EPYC. The first announcement of the morning with Microsoft. Rome is being talked about, launches next quarter. Built on 7nm, up to 64 Zen 2 cores, PCIe Gen 4.0.
4:35 - Graphics and Gaming - AMD is set to launch the new 7nm NAVI based graphics processors. Radeon is now being discussed. 400 million gamers game on Radeon.

4:38 - NAVI is the new family of Radeon GPUs. Next-gen PlayStation will be based on Zen2 and NAVI. NAVI is based on 7nm RDNA architecture (Radeon DNA). NAVI will be PCIe Express 4.0 compatible. New compute design, new cache-hierarchy, reducing latency, lower power. 1.25x perf per clock improvement and 1.5x better power consumption.

Announced and named Radeon RX 5000 series products. A card based on NAVI was shown in a live demo and compared against a GeForce RTX 2070 in a direct comparison with the Radeon RX 5700. Strange Brigade. The FPS looked about the same. AMD announces that NAVI will be launching in July. June 10th there will be a live stream with all details on products, specs and prices.

4:48 - The topic changes to PCs and processors.

5:10 - AMD Announces Ryzen 3000, 7 nm based processors based on the new ZEN2 core architecture called Matisse. Ryzen 3000 is the third generation Ryzen processors (Zen/Zen+/Zen2).

The new processors will be AM4 based and indeed have PCIe 4.0. Each core has doubled floating point, doubled the cache sizes which should help in gaming. AMD mentions the IPC has been improved with ZEN2 cores. Initially, 8 to 10% would be it, but ZEN2 sees a 15% IPC uplift.

Ryzen 7 3700X is announced has 8 cores, 16 threads, 4.4 GHz Boost, and 3.6 GHz base. 65 Watts TDP. The proc was on stage compared to a Core i7 9700K and was significantly faster. Single threaded performance

The second proc announced is the Ryzen 7 3800X. This processor has 8 Cores, 16 threads 4.5 GHz Boost and 3.9 GHz base clock frequencies. It has 36 MB total cache. It has been compared to a Core i9 9900K on stage. The proc ran the same perf as the 9900K in game. This proc will have a 105 Watt TDP.

AMD also has announced more than 8-core processors and announced, 3900X will have 12 cores and 14 threads with a 4.6 GHz Boost, 3.8 GHz base clock and 105 Watt. AMD compared it on stage with a Core i9 9920X.

Prices have been discussed as well.
