AMD RYZEN: THE NEXT GENERATION
When AMD launched its first Ryzen CPUs a little over a year ago, the company was quite clear about the product it was launching in terms of expectations and its future development. AMD basically said that the first iteration of the Zen core and its implementation in Ryzen was a worst-case scenario, given that the company was dealing with an entirely new architecture and feature set in its SenseMI technologies. It was also true that Ryzen presented some challenges in the early days, with poor memory support above frequencies of 2666MHz, as well as a plethora of other issues. AMD has aimed to resolve all these issues with 2nd Gen Ryzen. Indeed, even some X370 motherboards with the latest BIOS updates will now enable you to hit memory speeds over 3400MHz quite easily, but AMD has specifically focused on these types of issues with the X470 chipset.
