"Christina, Mike, Susan, James. This is where we gathered since the release of Ryzen 7," a roundtable discussion began with the moderator of John Taylor CMO in the middle of the screen.

"Let's start with the microphone of Ryzen's chief architecture, especially from the relationship in Ryzen's gaming scene, how was cooperation with game developers as development chief?"


"It is important to match x86 code and game code, but" Zen "was quite a hard work because it was a completely new architecture, but I could do a good job by collaborating with deeper parts.Zen It is important not to lose performance by itself, but also to realize real performance by not compromising the performance of other software products in the world, so my team works directly with developers I shared feedback, helped me to understand each other's aspects of software and hardware, and I was able to get great results. "


"To be honest, right after Ryzen launch there was room to raise the performance,"


"Oh, it was a new architecture that needed adjustments, and we had to explore the sweet spot where performance is the best."


"Let's go to Susan, you are in the graphics Radeon team, what kind of thing did you work on and did you leverage Ryzen's experience with the development of the next generation of GPUs?"


"What we were going to do with Zen was" to expand the range that we believe we can do. "The CPU core development team and the GPU core development team shared methodologies"


"In Zen the balance between power and performance was the key, but that is in the same direction as your team,"


"Yeah, that's right."


"Next is marketing team Christina - it's my first time here. Welcome to the club."


"I was in charge of everything including Ryzen's naming, logo design, package design, marketing strategy, but tell me about the process to a great success, as to how the user reacted."

"I felt dreamed by Ryzen Threadripper, I felt that all of AMD began to move on the right path, developed a great product and made real products, real business with everyone including marketing etc. 2 years Nobody envisioned such success before, there was blood, sweat and tears, but we did not feel difficult because we had passion. "


"In products such as CPUs, many users are looking forward to reviewing media and users to consider buying products.Ryzen launched a sample for testing that is unprecedented. lets listen"


"The marketing team really wanted a challenge, like the challenge that this industry has never seen before."


"James, you needed cooperation with motherboard makers etc. to deliver the sample kit to over 1,000 reviewers right?"


"The goal was to change PC industry in all aspects such as gaming, streaming, multitasking, etc. and to bring the price per performance, etc. to a new level.The change was necessary before raising innovative things It is impossible for me to hold back if I do not hold back.Not negotiations were not difficult because everyone agreed what I am asking for AMD to keep moving forward boldly All partners cooperate They all needed innovative things and the sampling program had a passion for seeking it. "


"Susan. How do you think about the importance of Zen in competition in the market?"


"There used to be no real competition, competition is always good, and there is competition now, I feel that AMD has returned to competition.Taking a retrospective look at the process I feel really happy. "


"Tell me about the importance of Mike, Zen and about the future development with Zen +, Zen 2, Zen 3"


"The annual growth rate of the data center has reached 40%, we are moving towards more core, low power consumption, higher efficiency, which is also what the market is expecting, so we challenge ourselves day by day It is important to continue. "


"So, already"Zen 5"It's a pleasure to work on ...", said Mike Clark, who was unpublished AMD has not announced so far, happened to leak out as a polo.


Taylor CMO pointed out this remark and Mr. Clark smiled bitterly.


Laughter will happen all together, "Talk with the time machine again."


Mr. Clark who uses the phrase "Zen 5" without hesitation has confirmed the importance of continuing to improve in the long term.

"It's April 2018, is not it?"


"Yes, it will be released in April 2018. AM4 motherboard already on sale can support Ryzen + with simple firmware update As with APU with Radeon graphics released in February, you can use existing motherboard Of course, if the motherboard with the new chipset "400 series" is installed, optimization of memory performance, overclocking function of CPU is progressing, and it also supports new functions such as new storage technology. "


"Four product groups already correspond to AM4 motherboard already, right?"


"Bristol Ridge generation A series APU, First generation Ryzen,APU with built-in Radeon graphicsAnd AM 4 motherboard corresponds to 4 kinds of CPU families of 2nd generation Ryzen 's Ryzen +. Because users want to eliminate barriers and eliminate complexity and use products for long periods of time. "
