Ryzen Pro

[FloatingPoint]

AMD has this page up about the Ryzen Pro series, they were on the initial leaks listed alongside the available processors. They come with 3 year warranty as standard but no listing of an R7 Pro 1800X, the page tops out at R7 Pro 1700X.

Any ideas when these will be available and pricing, is there also any info on what features these chips will have compared to consumer Ryzen? No mention of ECC memory support which is standard for a workstation CPU but Ryzen consumer might already support ECC, anyone with better knowledge on ECC support care to clarify?

Cheers.

Seems Ryzen as available supports both ECC and AES 128 bit encryption and come with a 3 year warranty, so it’s a bit confusing what these Ryzen Pro CPU’s are offering feature wise compared to what is available, @AMDMatt do you have any more info? Might be easier to specify Ryzen with the Pro brand positioning in corporate environments that are Intel orthodox, I still think Zen/Zen Pro (AM4/AM4 Pro) for AM4/TR4 would have been better product nomenclature.

ECC depends on the chip, motherboard and RAM. From what I've seen ECC works correctly with the right combinations.

It’ll be interesting to see what is announced on the 12th for laptops and how Pro they are.

I think it's probably something to fill the gap in the NAS/DAS and light work station markets. A certified professional bundle a little like Intel's greenlow platform without the cost of building around a C based chipset.

In that case maybe brand communication should have made a bit more of the low power yet powerful features of the Zen architecture.

It is all a bit of a mess with the real workstation CPU’s being branded as something that sounds far from what the product is and the ‘Pro’ product not including the high end single socket product line.

Are these pre-built ocuk systems Ryzen Pro or Ryzen ‘Pro’?
