AMD today shared a bit more info in which they talk about Zen, as well as Zen server solutions, yes a 32-core / 64 threads ZEN based CPU developed under code-name Naples is on target to be released in Q2 2017 and thus now confirmed as well. AMD also shares some details on the AMD AM4 motherboard platform.
As you guys know the The new ?Zen? architecture is designed to scale across all of AMD?s CPU business, from enthusiast desktop platforms to enterprise-class servers and notebooks, to embedded and semi-custom products. The initial ?Zen? CPU core is stated to deliver more than 40 percent improvement in instructions per clock cycle over the previous generation cores and will come to market first in an 8-core, 16-thread system-on-chip for desktops (=Summit Ridge). For the new architecture AMD focused on three key areas when designing this special architecture:
- Performance of the engine itself with completely new branch prediction, introduction of a micro-op cache and a much wider instruction window;
- Throughput, to keep that high-performance engine fed with data and instructions out of memory through pre-fetching and a completely new cache memory hierarchy with 8 MB of L3 cache; and finally,
- Efficiency having performance and throughput without increasing power, by leveraging a 14nm FinFET process and a wealth of power saving design techniques in the architecture.
- AM4 8 cores with 95W TDP (Summit Ridge)
- AM4 4 cores with 65W TDP (Bristol Ridge)
- SP3 24 cores with 150W TDP
- SP3 32 cores with 180W TDP (Naples)
