AMD Zen FX - information, benchmarks, experience of users

[FlanK3r]

What is Zen?
New performance AMD CPU for AM4 socket (1331 pins - PGA)



14nm LPP technology
up to 8c/16t. Possible variants of CPUs are: 4C/4T, 4C/8T, 8C/8T, 8C/16T
CPU IMC: supporting DDR4 (propably up to 2800 or 3200 MHz AMP)
CPU TDP: 65-95W (posibility for up to 125W later?)
plan for launch is before end of year 2016 (end of Q4?) with better aviability in Q1 2017
chipset: Promontory, PCIe 3.0 in CPU, M.2, USB3.1
platform: Summit Ridge

Based on this one ebnchamr we can say nothing about real performance of chip.

final ES clocks for 8C/16T CPU: 2.8/3.2 GHz (base/turbo)

My expectation: final clocks 3 GHz/3.5 GHz for 8c/16t, 3.4/3.8 GHz for 4C/8T, IPC close to Sandy Bridge, overall multithreaded performance 8c/16t Zen could be near the i7-5930K . The quickest AMD in single thread in history.
