00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,000
thank you to Razer for sending us to Pax West 2016 this year check out their new

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:10,040
blade stealth in the video description down below so we're here after the show

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:16,039
after everyone has left to check out the AMD 7th generation Apu processors and

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:18,600
am4 motherboards super interesting super

5
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:22,240
cool but we don't have them here and we have no videos of them either so we'll

6
00:00:20,279 --> 00:00:28,240
be putting up what slides we can and other than that it's just going to be random footage of us at packs now the

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:32,320
new am4 platform supports 7th generation AMD a series OEM desktops that's mainly

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:37,440
what we're going to be talking about today although they didn't have information on what oems or where you'd

9
00:00:35,879 --> 00:00:43,120
be able to buy them all I was able to figure out was that at the very least HP

10
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:44,559
is going to support this at Costco as of

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:51,360
right now they will support Seventh Generation processors with a 35 watt and

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,879
65 watt TDP with the 65 watt TDP

13
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:57,640
matching up to the performance of previous generation 95 watt TDP

14
00:00:55,559 --> 00:01:05,000
processors they will also support new ddr4 memory with up to 20 400 MHz of

15
00:01:01,239 --> 00:01:06,439
speed this 35 wat and 65 wat TDP split

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:12,799
enables you to go for a performance angle or a cool and quiet angle on the

17
00:01:09,759 --> 00:01:15,080
platform now this is currently OEM only

18
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:19,680
support and theoretically you would be able to install a Zen processor into

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:25,240
this am4 motherboard I was confirmed with that from AMD the problem here is

20
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:29,280
that it might not happen because BIOS support would have to be given to you by

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:33,600
the oems so it's actually rather unlikely now am4 motherboards will come

22
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:39,000
with a stack of different chipsets for small forf factor you'll have AMD XB or

23
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:44,000
a300 chipsets for the essential like workstation PCS you'll have AMD A320

24
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:48,520
chipsets and then once you start getting into mainstream a little bit higher

25
00:01:45,479 --> 00:01:50,759
performance stuff you'll have AMD B 350s

26
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:54,840
now for enthusiast chipsets we don't actually have the name of the chipset

27
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:58,000
yet but we'll have to wait till probably the Zen launch to get that other

28
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:06,200
features that they're currently calling out are PCIe gen 3 USB 3.1 Gen 2 NVMe

29
00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:08,479
support and SATA Express there's also a

30
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:12,920
huge list of processors that support am4 motherboards and they range from about

31
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:18,959
two cores to four cores boost clocks of 3.4 GHz to 4.2 GHz on the graphic side

32
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:24,640
of things you got Radeon R5 up to Radeon R7 with GPU cus from 6 all the way up to

33
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:29,160
8 and clock speeds of about 847 up to

34
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:33,319
118 now for those of you that have been excited for Zen this is very interesting

35
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:38,160
this is the groundwork that is being laid out for the Zen architecture we

36
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:42,680
need that am4 platform support and what's cool is that these oems are going

37
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:46,760
to be rolling this out and sort of beta testing it for us any problems that come

38
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:50,599
up with the am4 platform will be found before Zen launches and that's really

39
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,200
cool if you thought this was interesting and have anything to comment about it

40
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:57,640
let me know in the comments down below or on Twitter at Linus Tech also thanks

41
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:01,400
to Razer for sending us to Pax West 2016 this year we're doing a huge giveaway

42
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:05,799
with this because we just passed 3 million freaking subscribers we're

43
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:10,120
giving a new razor blade and a new razor blade stealth two awesome super high

44
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:14,239
performance Ultrabooks so click that video description link down below edel

45
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:18,560
Yago made custom art to be etched into the laptops looks amazing check it out
