According to the latest report, AMD's next-generation Raven Ridge APUs could actually combine AMD Zen CPU architecture with Polaris GCN iGPU and feature High Bandwidth Memory integrated on the die.

The report, coming from Bitsandchips.it, suggest AMD is using Amkor to package the next-generation APUs, which is the same company that was used for AMD's Fiji GPUs. The chips will be produced by Global Foundries and its 14nm FinFET manufacturing process.

If proven to be true, this means that Raven Ridge APUs will be completely 14nm design, including the Zen CPU and Polaris GPU architecture. This also means that we will see both higher performance as well as great efficiency, considering recent demos of Polaris GPU architecture.

It is still not clear on how much High Bandwidth Memory will AMD decide to stick on the same package but the bandwidth increase will be significant and AMD's Raven Ridge APUs could provide impressive graphics performance, something that we have not seen on AMD's APUs so far.

In case you missed it earlier, AMD's Raven Ridge APUs are expected to launch next year.
