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

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:10.040
blade stealth in the video description down below so we're here after the show

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:16.039
after everyone has left to check out the AMD 7th generation Apu processors and

00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:18.600
am4 motherboards super interesting super

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

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

00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:32.320
new am4 platform supports 7th generation AMD a series OEM desktops that's mainly

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

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

00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:44.559
is going to support this at Costco as of

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:51.360
right now they will support Seventh Generation processors with a 35 watt and

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:52.879
65 watt TDP with the 65 watt TDP

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:57.640
matching up to the performance of previous generation 95 watt TDP

00:00:55.559 --> 00:01:05.000
processors they will also support new ddr4 memory with up to 20 400 MHz of

00:01:01.239 --> 00:01:06.439
speed this 35 wat and 65 wat TDP split

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:12.799
enables you to go for a performance angle or a cool and quiet angle on the

00:01:09.759 --> 00:01:15.080
platform now this is currently OEM only

00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:19.680
support and theoretically you would be able to install a Zen processor into

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:25.240
this am4 motherboard I was confirmed with that from AMD the problem here is

00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:29.280
that it might not happen because BIOS support would have to be given to you by

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:33.600
the oems so it's actually rather unlikely now am4 motherboards will come

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:39.000
with a stack of different chipsets for small forf factor you'll have AMD XB or

00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:44.000
a300 chipsets for the essential like workstation PCS you'll have AMD A320

00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:48.520
chipsets and then once you start getting into mainstream a little bit higher

00:01:45.479 --> 00:01:50.759
performance stuff you'll have AMD B 350s

00:01:48.520 --> 00:01:54.840
now for enthusiast chipsets we don't actually have the name of the chipset

00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:58.000
yet but we'll have to wait till probably the Zen launch to get that other

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

00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:08.479
support and SATA Express there's also a

00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:12.920
huge list of processors that support am4 motherboards and they range from about

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

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

00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:29.160
8 and clock speeds of about 847 up to

00:02:26.920 --> 00:02:33.319
118 now for those of you that have been excited for Zen this is very interesting

00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:38.160
this is the groundwork that is being laid out for the Zen architecture we

00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:42.680
need that am4 platform support and what's cool is that these oems are going

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

00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:50.599
up with the am4 platform will be found before Zen launches and that's really

00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:53.200
cool if you thought this was interesting and have anything to comment about it

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:57.640
let me know in the comments down below or on Twitter at Linus Tech also thanks

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

00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:05.799
with this because we just passed 3 million freaking subscribers we're

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:10.120
giving a new razor blade and a new razor blade stealth two awesome super high

00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:14.239
performance Ultrabooks so click that video description link down below edel

00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:18.560
Yago made custom art to be etched into the laptops looks amazing check it out

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:23.799
