AMD: Ryzen Was a "Worst Case Scenario," Reveals Details on Ryzen 2

Stefan Mileschin · 6th September 2017, 21:01

Even though Ryzen turned out pretty well, AMD is defending the CPU lineup's (arguably) low clock rates: marketing manager Don Woligroski suggests that current performance is just a sampling of the brand's potential and notes that Zen 2 will really improve IPC rates and base frequencies. The company also intends to work with game developers to finally move PC gaming into the multi-core era. When asked how AMD is approaching game optimization for multi-core CPUs, Woligrowski explained that "for games that are already released, our focus is making sure if they have a problem on Ryzen processors... we'll go and engage with the developer. We did it for DOTA 2 and Rise of The Tomb Raider." As for what's coming next year, AMD plans to make specialized engineers available for developers who want to learn how to optimize their code, and game designers will be able to quickly adapt to the evolving APIs.
