As detailed and rumored earlier, AMD's Raven Ridge APUs are expected to use Zen-based CPU architecture cores paired up with Vega-based GPU architecture.

The engineering sample spotted in SiSoftware database is a quad-core/eight-thread part, ticking at 3.0GHz base and 3.3GHz Boost CPU clocks. It also has 2MB (4x512kB) of L2 and 4MB of L3 cache. The GPU part of the APU has 11 Compute Units and with 64 Stream Processors per CU, it ends up at a total of 704 Stream Processors. The GPU works at 800MHz and pumps out 572.6Mpix/s.

We still do not have any details whether this is a desktop or a mobile APU and although it has an "M" in its codename, it has a rather high clock for a mobile part. Earlier unconfirmed roadmaps suggested that AMD Raven Ridge APUs would range from 35W to 95W, which means these will cover a wide market range.

According to earlier rumors, AMD should launch mobile Raven Ridge APUs sometime in the second half of this year while desktop APUs are expected early next year.
