Already this year, is expected to premiere AMD processors based on an entirely new microarchitecture Zen, but as long as the manufacturer does not want to reveal too many details about the new systems. In one of the mysterious processor picture was taken general presentations, which may be a new layout of "red". What has been subtracted from it?
The editors of one of the sites computer focus withdrew the photo on this presentation, which later benefited from Hans de Vries from the site and Chip Architect Matthias Waldhauer from the blog The New Citavia Blog - Both made a very similar version of what happened.
A fragment of the mysterious silicon plate and an oblong square with black edges is one processor.The diagram can define two blocks, each of which includes four cores with 512 KB cache in the second level (L2) and 8 MB shared between cache in the third level (L3). Besides, the system proved to be a 4-channel DDR4 memory controller and the south bridge.
Compared with competing, 8-nuclear models Intel Haswell-E, here, in 2 times more L2 cache (8x 512 КБ vs 8x 256 KB), but again less L3 cache (16 MB against 20 MB). Provided, of course, that the photo really shows the Zen processor and do not mistake with the presentation by the manufacturer.
