AMD представила процессор Zen – 8 nuclei and 16 flow

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).

Desktop version of (codenamed Summit Ridge) AM4 will be combined with stand - it is important to, with tney will also use the new hybrid processors.

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, мы будем иметь здесь дело с системой SMT – Simultaneous Multithreading, а не как в нынешних моделях 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. поколении процессоров AMD – преемник представленных моделей Bristol Ridge.

В конце еще фото образцы процессора – в течение ближайших недель такие инженерные образцы поступят к партнерам производителя.
