AMD has released a short video where its lead system engineer Louis Castro running Doom on its Summit Ridge, Zen-based processor .

This means that the silicon is in good shape and the processor was taped our probably late last year with no major issues. AMD’s CEO Lisa Su has already said that the desktop version shall arrive first, and this was the CPU demonstrated in the video.

Summit Ridge is not an APU and doesn’t have a GPU core. AMD engineers were using a discreet GPU probably from one they found out the back.

The Summit Ridge is an FM4 socket processor and half dozen of them are shown in the video.

AMD is doomed.

Uh..... okay... it works...... But you know, you don't need a fantastic processor to play DOOM.... or even a more CPU intensive game like Ashes of Singularity. Hell, if you stick a R9 Nano with a VIA Quadcore-E C4650, it'd work:

This video does not aspire confidence.
