GDC 2018 will begin this March and it appears that AMD will reveal more details about its upcoming next-generation Ryzen CPUs. According to the GDC 2018 schedule, AMD will host a session about optimising games for the Ryzen series of CPUs, something that may interest developers and gamers.
From what we know so far, AMD will release its second-generation Ryzen CPUs in April. As such, it will be interesting to see what the red team will reveal at GDC 2018. Could AMD give us also a glimpse at the Ryzen 2 CPUs? One can only hope.
The second-generation Ryzen CPUs will be using the Zen+ architecture, will support the Precision Boost 2 tech, and will be able to hit higher frequency clocks. Do note, however, that these are not Ryzen 2 CPUs. AMD aims to release Ryzen 2 in 2019.
AMD will also release its new Ryzen APUs in February.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Tenderly pets my 1950X Threadripper, I can’t wait to see AMD’s refreshes, GDC 2018 is going to be insane.
I wonder if the new Nvidia cards will be there furnished with GDDR6 that is all ready to go or maybe even HBM2, that would be a crazy card. Might need to take a mortgage out for it though, lol 🙂
Threadripper was a total bomb, so once you’re done petting it throw it in the trash where it belongs. If you want to get that new Nvidia card ask your parents to take out the mortgage, they’re the ones who own the house.
Very interested to see what the 2nd generation Ryzen CPU’s gonna be like!
Ryzen 2 will most likely be my new upgrade, tired of Intel’s constant BS and now security issues which they may or may not internally fix in their… wait for it… UPCOMING cannon/ice bs-lake!
