Raven Ridge is awesome, but Pinnacle Ridge next year is going to be THE chip to get. You guys just wait and see.
The improved boost functionality should help the single threaded IPC in desktop chips because the chip will be able to shut down 7 cores and boost the remaining single core to it's absolute limit. The new process AMD is using is going to let them hit a target of either 3.8 base or 4.0 base, but expect boost clocks to climb quite a bit higher if the voltage curve holds. Between all that and some other tweaks they are working on, I can't wait for Zen+. It's too bad I have to wait for the Threadripper variant.
PS: To the naysayers, I told you PR was going to have *at least* a 10% uplift in IPC, the improved boost functionality alone should provide that 10% along with the increase base/boost clocks...don't even get me started on the other 'surprises' AMD is cooking up...
