    Motherboards AMD AM4

    AMD’s AM4 Motherboards Rumored To Launch As Early As March 2016 – Configured First For Bristol Ridge APUs , Full DDR4 Memory Support

    A new rumor regarding AMD’s next generation processor platform has emerged. Straight from Eteknix, there are reports that AMD’s AM4 platform which will be powering next generation CPUs and APUs from AMD will launch as early as March 2016 (Q1/Q2 2016). The report is based on a rumor from a German website but can stir up some interesting speculation as to what we may expect from the upcoming AM4 platform launch.

    AMD’s Flagship AM4 Platform Rumored To Launch As Early As March 2016

    A few days ago, we received some convincing information from our sources that x86 Zen based processors under the AMD FX series branding will launch in Q4 2016. The information was not only exclusive to Zen FX processors but also detailed new APU lineups arriving in 2017 with graphics performance equivalent to next generation consoles. Now we know that AMD will not only have Zen based FX processors but also Zen based APUs for desktop/mobility market and high-performance Zen cores will also be integrated inside workstation, servers and a range of HPC focused products such as HPC APUs with multi-TFLOPs compute performance and have been in talks for quite a while.
    We know that AMD is focused to deploy Zen cores inside CPUs first which include FX series and servers SKUs. The mobility based Zen parts along with APUs will ship later in 2017, while the desktop processors (CPUs) are going to arrive later this year (Q4 2016 is most likely). When AMD launches their FX processors in the market, along with the chips, AMD will have a completely new platform known as AM4 to support their next generation processors and accelerated processing units. The AM4 platform will replace AM3/AM3+ and will house the FX series family which is rumored to be codenamed “Summit Ridge”. The AM4 motherboards will be focused at powering high-performance desktop PCs with new I/O capabilities, DDR4 memory support and a broad range of updates over the aged AM3+ platform.

    Aside from bringing their desktop platform on parity with Intel’s DT (Desktop) platforms, AMD also revealed that AM4 platform will be shared by both, the desktop CPUs and desktop APUs. From AMD’s own roadmap which was showcased back at Financial Analyst Day 2015, it was confirmed that AMD won’t only have a new CPU lineup based on their Zen core (FX Series codenamed Summit Ridge) but also the 7th generation A-Series APU lineup (codenamed Bristol Ridge) which will be using the existing Carrizo core architecture. Based on the x86 architecture, the new family will be available for both desktop and mobility platforms and while this won’t be the first AMD processor to feature DDR4 memory support (Merlin Falcon already did that), it will definitely be the first AMD consumer processor to do so.

    The report from Eteknix mentions that AMD’s AM4 platform boards are completely redesigned since they are meant to run a longer life time and support for future AMD processors:
    he new AMD Zen CPU will use a new socket and also incorporate the current DDR4 capabilities and as such completely new boards have to be designed. In a routine inquiry about this, the publication got a surprising response from the manufacturer. The response: “The internal timetable foresees a March 2016 launch”. That is a lot sooner than expected. via Eteknix




    In terms of specifications, the Bristol Ridge APUs will be quite similar to the recently launched Carrizo APUs for mobility platforms along with a few updates. They will feature up to four x86 Excavator cores with 2 MB of shared L2 cache. They will have support for HSA 1.0 and the latest DDR4 memory standard. The Excavator core ensures better IPC (Instruction per clock) versus previous generation cores and the SOCs feature the 3rd generation graphics core next (GCN) architecture which is the same level as the latest Fiji and Tonga GPUs. Now it remains to be seen what sort of SKUs will AMD offer in the lineup and what kind of prices should we expect from these APUs.

    Previously, AMD have priced their desktop APUs under the $200 range and it is expected to remain there. As for AM4 boards, it is highly likely that AMD will have a few budget options launched for Bristol Ridge APUs while the more performance focused parts will be set for launch with the FX series in Q4 2016. As for Zen, we have summed up all the information you need to know regarding the upcoming FX series in detail over here.
    Note: The information in this article is based on a rumor, there’s no official word or confirmation by AMD on this rumor.

    AMD Socket AM4 Coming Up Inevitably usable for Zen

    Some new documents have surfaced on the web, the slides contain information about the AMD Socket AM4 and explain the transition towards Zen based processors (which are expected 2nd half next year). AM4 will be the new desktop socket for AMD. Information indicates that in March (say CeBIT timeframe) we'll see motherboards based on the new socket. AM4 will transition from Excavator architecture towards Zen architecture.
    A lot is riding on Zen alright. AM4 will be the slot to use for both APUs and many multi-core processors. Bristol Ridge will likely be the first processor to be used, the followup of the Carrizo APU. The Socket AM4 Desktop platform will support DDR4 RAM memory and FP4 would be the soldered socket for mobile platforms (supporting both DDR3 and DDR4). Bristol Ridge will have up to four CPU cores with TDP ranges from 45W to 65W and thus with support for DDR4 memory (2400 MHz). Later in 2016 AMD will launch their Zen architecture multi-core CPUs, which feature the company's next-gen, performance-focused CPU cores.
    AMD, Zen's main focus will be on increasing per-core performance rather than core count or multi-threading performance. Zen architecture will be built on a more efficient 14 nanometer process, rather than the 32 nm and 28 nm processes of previous AMD FX CPUs and AMD APUs. The "Summit Ridge" Zen family will also feature a unified AM4 socket with its GPU-equipped "Raven Ridge" APU counterparts, and feature DDR4 support and a 95W TDP. Zen does not support DDR3, only 7th generation AMD APUs (also fitting the AMD AM4 unified socket) support DDR3 and DDR4.
    Anyway, have a peek at the slides below.

    AMD Confirms: All Future Platforms, Including x86 Zen Processors and Bristol Ridge APUs, Will Use The AM4 Socket

    In the past AMD’s wider range of offerings from CPUs to APUs were usually catered-to by different sockets. This could easily get confusing – and cumbersome – for customers of the company with more than one processor type. However, as we have been reporting from almost a year now – AMD’s future offerings, including Zen, Bristol Ridge and Summit Ridge will utilize the AM4 platform. This is something that AMD has officially confirmed via James Prior’s talk to PC World.

    Future AMD CPUs and APUs will use the AM4 Socket

    The slide below shows the socket evolution of AMD’s processor family. Last generation had the AM3+ socket for the FX processors, FM2+ socket for APUs and AM1 for Kabini. The next generation of AMD CPUs and APUs however will finally be available on one single socket: the AM4. This is something that will really convenience enthusiasts in the future allowing the use of all kinds of AMD chips on the same motherboard. The flexibility that this kind of architecture offers will be a welcome relief from the mish-mash socket structrue of the past.
    Zen promises to deliver 40% IPC gains and will shift from CMT approach to SMT among other things. That’s not it either, Zen will be using a scheduling model that is similar to Intel’s and it will use specific hardware and simulation to define any needed scheduling or NUMA changes. It will also be ISA compatible with Haswell/Broadwell style of compute. It will bring various compiler optimisations, including GCC with target of SPECint v6 based score at common compiler settings. Benchmarking and performance compiler LLVM targets SPECint v6 rate score at performance compiler settings. Each Zen core will have access to 512KB of L2 cache and 4 Zen cores will share 8MB of L3 cache. The time frame given by AMD regarding the arrival of the brand new micro-architecture is Q4 2016.

    A slide from AMD showing the evolution of their socket portfolio.
    The slide shows the Summit Ridge and Bristol Ridge Platform being the next step in AMD’s evolution. The Summit Ridge platform is the mainstream desktop processors from AMD that will utilize the x86 Zen micro-architecture. The process will be 14nm FinFET (according to footnotes in AMD’s older slides) and will be based on the Promontory Chipset. The TDP is stated to be around 95W – although this remains to be seen. The processor will scale upto 8 cores and will be fully compatible with DDR4 memory. The socket, is ofcourse the AM4.
    Similarly, the AMD Bristol Ridge platform is the APU platform that is coming soon. This platform will not however utilize the Zen uarch and instead use Excavator. The APUs will be fabricated on the 28nm process and will have a maximum of 4 CPU cores and “Next-Gen GCN” based GPU cores. They are going to come in both AM4 and FP4 packaging and will support both DDR3 and DDR4 (depending on the chip). The TDP is once again thought to be around 95W and the socket AM4. Bristol Ridge should be succeeded by Raven Ridge later on, which will be the APU family to feature Zen based z86 cores, Raven Ridge will be on the same node as Summit Ridge. AMD AM4 motherboards are rumored to launch by Q2 2016.

    AMD AM4 Will Feature 140W Support and μOPGA



    Later this year, perhaps in October, AMD will be launching with their highly anticipated Zen CPU architecture. Before that though, AMD will be releasing their new processor socket, AM4, with the Bristol Ridge lineup of APUs. As the socket that finally combines the CPU and APU lineups, it will replace the aging AM3+ and the relatively newer FM2+. According to a leak, AM4 will use μOPGA and support up to 140W chips and have 1,331 pins.
    AMD has stuck with variants of PGA for the longest time and it looks like AM4 will continue the legacy. At 1,331 pins, that is a 33% increase over the about 950 pins previous AM and FM sockets have used. If AMD simply enlarges the current design, this would lead to a much larger package. This can lead to more fragile, costlier (especially for lower end chips) CPUs and require a new series of CPU heatsinks.
    In order to combat this, AMD has used μOPGA compared to the normal OPGA they use. This will reduce pin diameter, allowing for more pins to crammed together at the cost of weaker pins. Reducing pin pitch or the distances between pins and staggering pins to fit more in the same space are also two likely strategies. For Intel, a 17% pin count cost 30% in space but moving from 115x to 2011 cost only about 66% size increase. If AMD does it well, AM4 may be compatible with AM3+ and FM2+ heatsinks and not have an overly large package.
    Finally, AM4 is expected to support up to a whopping 140W TDP CPUs. This is similar to the top end Intel LGA 2011 chips will also feature a 140W TDP and not much more than current mainstream AM3+ chips which top out at 125W. By increasing the pin count slightly, AMD will sport a number close to Intel’s old enthusiasts platform of LGA 1366. By unifying the socket for their budget, mainstream and enthusiasts chips, AMD will make it easier for builders to upgrade, leaving it up to the motherboard vendors to differentiate their offerings.

    AMD’s AM4 Platform Details Leaked: µOPGA Based Socket with 1331 Pins, 140W Max TDP

    Details of AMD’s upcoming AM4 socket have leaked out courtesy of folks over at Bitsandchips.it. According to the report, AMD will be shifting to a µOPGA socket as opposed to the OPGA one that has been used before. The change would allow the chip maker to house processors with TDP of up to 140 Watts while utilizing a total of 1331 pins (which is approximately 391 more pins than what AMD has used in previous AM/FM sockets). This particular socket is designed to house all of AMD’s upcoming platforms: including the mainstream Zen CPUs and APUs.

    AMD’s upcoming AM4 socket will be based on a µOPGA design with 1331 pins

    AMD has been a devout supporter of Pin Grid Array socket types and it looks like the AM4 will be no different. OPGA stands for Organic Pin Grid Array (the ‘organic’ in the term stands for the plastic attached to the silicon die, out of which the pins protrude), and according to this report, the company is deploying a new standard called the µOPGA socket. The micro in the term indicates that AMD will be using pins with less diameter, which will presumable be weaker than OPGA based pins. Going up from 940 pins to 1331 is an increase of approximately 40% and it is implied that AMD will be decreasing the distance between the pins.
    This means that while the µOPGA AM4 socket size will remain approximately the same, it will be much more fragile than previous OPGA based iterations. AMD hopes to use this particular socket for all its mainstream and enthusiast platforms – including APUs. AMD’s AM4 will combine the best points of AM1+, AM3+ and FM2 sockets. These will be deployed in everything from a budget AIO motherboard to the integrated PCH schematics of Bristol Ridge. In fact, we have seen a patent being filed of a very similar looking OPGA based socket from AMD that we believe is one of AMD’s upcoming Sockets.









    US Patent number “US20140043768 A1”, filed in 2012 and published in 2014, describes a brand new socket from AMD:
    Advertisements

    The present invention provides embodiments of a package retention frame. One embodiment of the package retention frame is configured for deployment adjacent a top surface of an integrated circuit package. A grid of contacts is on a bottom surface of the integrated circuit package. The package retention frame when deployed substantially maintains alignment of the grid of contacts with a grid of pins in a socket. An outer boundary of the package retention frame is substantially encompassed by an outer boundary of the socket.
    The AM4 socket will initially support two of AMD’s mainstream platforms. The first one, is Summit Ridge which is the mainstream desktop CPU platform from AMD that will utilize the x86 Zen micro-architecture. The process will be 14nm FinFET (according to footnotes in AMD’s older slides) and will be based on the Promontory Chipset. The TDP is stated to be around 95W – although this remains to be seen. The processor will scale upto 8 cores, have SMT based multi-threading, around 40% IPC gains over Excavator and will be fully compatible with DDR4 memory. The socket, is of course the AM4.
    READ AMD Confirms: All Upcoming x86 Platforms, Including Zen Processors and Bristol Ridge APUs, Will Use The AM4 Socket

    Similarly, AMD’s Bristol Ridge platform is the APU platform that will be landing sometime this year. It is expected to arrive before any Zen based platform such as Summit Ridge. This platform will not utilize the Zen uarch and instead use Excavator. The APUs will be fabricated on the 28nm process and will have a maximum of 4 CPU cores and “Next-Gen GCN” based GPU cores. They are going to come in both AM4 and FP4 packaging and will support both DDR3 and DDR4 (depending on the chip). The TDP is once again thought to be around 95W and the socket AM4.

    More AMD Socket AM4 Technical Details Emerge

    More details of AMD's upcoming common socket for both its desktop APUs and high-end CPUs emerged from a recent article by Italian tech-site Bits-n-Chips. To begin with, AM4 will be an µOPGA (pin-grid array), in which the pins will continue to be located on the processor package, and contact points on the socket. The package will be square, and 40 mm in length, making it about as big as a current socket FM2+ package. It will have a pin-count of 1,331 pins, a big increase from the 942 pins of AM3+, and 906 pins of FM2+. AMD could continue to develop LGA sockets for its multi-socket capable Opteron processors based on the "Zen" architecture.

    The AM4 platform layout will be functionally closer to that of the FM2+ than the AM3+. Besides the integrated memory controller, the northbridge will be entirely located on the processor die; and so the HyperTransport main system bus will be wired internally. Besides hundreds of electrical pins, the AM4 pin-map will consist of memory I/O, integrated graphics I/O, PCI-Express, and the chipset bus; besides other low-level system I/O interfaces. The memory controller on some of the first AM4 chips, such as "Summit Ridge," will natively support DDR4-2400 MHz, and DDR4-2933 MHz through overclocking.

    ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Impact Motherboard With AM4 Socket Pictured – Supports Bristol Ridge and Summit Ridge CPUs, Up To 4133 MHz DDR4 OC Memory

    We have a juicy new leak for you related to AMD’s upcoming AM4 motherboards. Our sources have provided us the first pictures of a high-end AM4 motherboard from ASUS which is part of the ROG series. Known as the ROG Crosshair VI Impact, the motherboard will feature the next generation AM4 socket to allow support for Summit Ridge and Bristol Ridge processors which are arriving this year.

    The ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Impact is a feature-loaded Mini-ITX AM4 motherboard.
    ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Impact Motherboard Pictured – AM4 Socket and Support For Next-Gen AMD CPUs

    The ASUS ROG Crosshair VI series will bring modern features to AMD’s next-gen processors. The last Crosshair V series was released back in 2011 with the Bulldozer family and has since seen a few revisions. The latest line up will debut with the latest APU and CPU families that are expected to arrive this year. The Bristol Ridge family of APUs will be arriving in 2H 2016 followed by launch of Summit Ridge FX-Series chips in Q4 2016 which will have Zen architecture as their core DNA.
    Looking at the motherboard, the first thing we notice is that the ROG Crosshair VI Impact has a similar design as its Z170 chipset based Maximus VII Impact counterpart. The motherboard has a Mini-ITX design which is a first for AMD processors. The motherboard features the AM4 socket which is very similar to current AM3+ sockets. It is colored black and features pin-holes to support Summit Ridge and Bristol Ridge processors. The socket also has a retention bracket similar to AM3+ so it’s possible that AM3+ coolers will be compatible on this board.

    AMD Bristol Ridge and Summit Ridge – The Next-Generation AM4 Processors

    This isn’t the first time we are looking at a AM4 motherboard. We have already seen an OEM machine shipping with the Bristol Ridge and AM4 motherboards and this is just the start of such AM4 leaks. The Bristol Ridge APU family has already arrived on notebooks and will soon be arriving on the desktop front. AMD will be using the same AM4 socket for their Excavator based APUs and Zen based CPUs. AMD is also opening up more info about their Summit Ridge (Zen) processors and have demoed it at Computex and E3 2016.

    With Zen architecture, AMD plans to aim several different markets as its a scalable solution in design. AMD will first be shipping Zen in their Summit Ridge processors for enthusiast PCs. After that, AMD will be shipping Zen to server and workstations where we can see an even higher core count on Zen based Opteron processors. The AMD APU family will also get a taste of Zen on both desktops and mobility fronts next year. Expect to hear more about AM4 in a few months.
