AMD has prepared a pleasant surprise at his last press conference, in addition to the presentation of the new AMD processors and Radeon graphics cards 400 based architecture Polaris, producer also appreciated the new processors Summit Ridge based on an entirely new microarchitecture Zen.
The new processors are made on FinFET technology 14 and it is based on an entirely new microarchitecture Zen, which should bring 40% instructions growth, performed in one clock cycle (IPC).
During the conference, Lisa Lu boasted Summit Ridge processor - a model was equipped with 8 nuclei / 16 flows, so that one can already see a clear division between the core and flows (probably, we have here is a SMT system – Simultaneous Multithreading, rather than as in current models of CMT – Clustered Multithreading).
Work on the processor based micro Zen began 3 years ago, и еще в этом году должна состояться официальная премьера – сначала они появятся в настольных пк, but later appear as servers and laptops. What is important, manufacturer promised, that the core of Zen will also appear in the next, already 8. generation AMD processors – the successor to the models Bristol Ridge.
В конце еще фото образцы процессора – within a few weeks such engineering samples arrive to the manufacturer partners.
