AMD Zen Processors vs Top I7

AMD's launch of the Taipei conference served a lot of dry goods, the finale of the CEO Su-feng Display 1 of the much-anticipated Zen architecture of the new processor real piece.


Let's take a look at some of the highlights of the conference presentation:

One is the Zen Architecture Processor Code Summit Ridge

The second is that the new Zen architecture will bring about an increase of about 40% IPC (per clock cycle instruction) compared to the current excavator (Excavator), that is, the same frequency theoretical performance increased by 40%

Three is eight core, support synchronous multi-threading, so 16 thread

Four is the use of AM4 new interface, and APU to achieve unity (unfortunately, the Taipei computer Show, the seventh generation of the desktop Apu is not on the debut, so AM4 new interface exactly what is not known).


For these four points, the reader of AMD's coverage of fast technology must have been well-known, but the 3rd was officially confirmed by the official, and we also saw a real film (though most likely an early engineering trial).


At present, some close partners are testing, soon, the OEM level will also be in Q3 to get samples, AMD did not disclose the retail channel information, but it is clear that the Zen architecture will cover the desktop, server, notebook and embedded four markets.


In the end, a leaked slide shows that the Zen Summit Ridge processor has doubled the theoretical performance of Orochi fx-8350,cinebench R15 compared to today's top-of-the-range standalone products, This means that Zen's performance is almost as close to Intel's top eight core i7-5960x (6950X just released) that it is said to consume only 95W.



At the same time, eight 512KB two cache (total 4MB), two 8MB three cache (total 16MB), two-part 64-bit DDR4 memory controller, South Bridge module or even GMI Interconnect bus (instead of HT) are designed.
