Leaked AMD ‘Fenghuang APU’ with 15FF Graphics - Ryzen "Zen" APU

    In what appears to be a leak for a upcoming AMD APU spotted in the wild, SiSoftware's site has reported a upcoming AMD APU codenamed "Fenghuang" that has 28 CUs (Cluster Units) on-chip and it appears to be larger than other APUs which I noted would eventually have to happen if AMD wanted to add more cores to it's APU series and further expand the graphical envelope because there's only so much you can put into a certain die before you have no choice but to increase the size of the chip itself. For those not really in the know, An APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) has both dedicated on-board graphics and CPU cores and historically with AMD's past APU releases it used the same chip size as it's regular CPU series which has somewhat limited the progress AMD can achieve on them. That seems to be a relic of the past if this leak is found to be proven true.

    Now down the what's underneath the hood, Despite it having 28 CUs to power it's GPU cores on-board it has 1792 SP on-board and there's a good chance it might have 8 cores instead of the previous 4 cores (remains to be seen because this rumor has been told before with no luck). The CPU portion of the chip has a clock speed rated at 2.4 Ghz with turbo clock speeds most likely at 3.0 Ghz which some might say this seems to be a downgrade due to it's other chips but this is normal for a chip like this to feature clock speeds like this because it's a Server APU and not to mention this is neccessary to keep both power usage and heat dissipation under control especially with GPU chops like these with 28 CUs and 1792 SPs on-board.

    The clock speed of the GPU itself is currently rated running at 555 Mhz which is fine for a on-board GPU and most likely AMD will turn up the clock speeds some more before release. It also has 2.5 Teraflops (TFlops) of graphical performance which is awesome for something like this. The only thing about this chip is it's a server APU so it's not for mainstream or even high end gaming rigs unless you want to buy a server motherboard which doesn't look too appealing for those wanting to show off their rigs but some won't care because they value practicality over looks. Also the RAM is rated at 2400 megahertz (Mhz) so most likely the APU won't support anything higher than 2400 megahertz (Mhz) but other than those 2 points the rest of the leak really sounds awesome and exciting on paper. Hopefully AMD eventually carries it over to it's High-end or Mainstream PC customers so that PC Gamers can enjoy this beast of an APU.

Disclosure: I also want to thank WCCFTECH for fair usage of this web image because I can't save it as an image on the site itself for some reason.
