AMD Ryzen PRO and Athlon PRO

The 2nd Generation Ryzen has finally reached the workstations. AMD is set to unveil three 12nm Ryzen PRO SKUs: 2700X, 2700 and 2600. Only 2700X appears to be affected by lower TDP (105->95W), which decreased the frequency by 100-200 MHz compared to non-Pro series.

AMD is also releasing Athlon Pro 200GE. The Athlon 200GE is a dual-core CPU with 4-threads. This silicon is based on Raven Ridge architecture (first generation) which essentially makes it an APU. AMD has equipped Athlon 200GE with Vega 3 graphics. This CPU does not support Turbo mode the same way Ryzen series do, as only one frequency is listed.

The new Athlon series based on Zen architecture are meant to compete with Intel’s Pentium, which are occupying the entry-level segment.

According to PCEva, Athlon 200GE will be announced on September 6th, but the sales are expected on September 18th (this refers to non-Pro variant).
