The AMD camp is dropping bombshells as they introduces upcoming series of processors from high-performance datacentre processors to mobile APUs and consumer CPUs in between. As the competition with Intel rises due to the AMD Ryzen’s success, AMD unveils upcoming processors including the Ryzen Threadripper that feature more cores and higher performance. AMD also unveils its datacentre-brand platform which was previously known as “Naples” and now called the AMD Epyc processors. The Ryzen APU processors and Ryzen 3 release schedules have also been released.
