The first engineering sample of AMD’s Raven Ridge APUs has leaked out over at the SiSoftware Database. The new listing confirms several key details that we have been hearing for months along with specifications of the desktop based AM4 processor.

The listing over at SiSoftware reveals that the chip is codenamed “AMD Mandolin Raven”. The chip is part of a desktop based platform and bears the sample id of “2M3001C3T4MF2_33/30_N”. The chip will be using the new AMD 15DD graphics processor that will be integrated within the same die. The chip is based on the Zen core architecture and features a total of 4 cores, 8 threads. The base clock speed is maintained at 3.0 GHz while the maximum boost clock speed is 3.3 GHz. Keep in mind that these are early engineering samples so that’s one reason why these clocks are not final.
The chip features 2 MB of L2 cache and 4 MB of L3 cache. As for graphics, the new core features 11 CUs or Compute Units. Considering that AMD’s CU design has till now packed a total of 64 stream processors per CU, the total core count will be 704 stream processors. The graphics chip is clocked at 800 MHz. The chip scores around 572.68 Mpix/s which is a good score so we can guess that a new architecture is involved. There have been many indications that Raven Ridge chips will pack the same graphics uArch as AMD’s Vega GPUs.
