AMD Zen (update)

[Doobeedoo]

CPUs will contain up to a maximum of 8 CPU cores and a TDP of up to 95W, 14nm.

New platform is said to be FM3 which is intended to be a unified platform for all of their CPUs. DDR4 will be in use.

Oooohhhh sweet jesus

 

Get rekt intel lels

Please don't be weak cores

Please don't be weak cores

Please don't be weak cores

[Suffokation]

This is really cool...

I was expecting 12 or 16 weak as piss cores...

But if Zen is decent architecture, than this may be really promising.

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

Neat.

[Toddwjp]

please have strong single core performance,

Sweet, I was thinking of buying a 4790K next year but I guess I'll wait for AMD's CPUs!

I really hope they don't have integrated graphics like intel's processors.

SMT. High Performance Cores NAU!

Jim Keller designed it....it's gonna be awesome.....!!!!! alksdakldhasdhklsa dask;l231i ppPKP sad :D :D

I may stick with AMD...after I see some benchmarks though

In Before tiny IPC.

They include Sata-e, m.2, and pci-e 3.0 with that DDR4 and I might switch.

 

Also they need mobo's that look as good as intel mobos (I know it's up to the manufacturer). I just notice that when I look at AMD mobo's....they look old for some reason, at least compared to z97 and even z87

why wouldn't they?

We may see a chip without Igpu's but it's a small margin of their market and we don't know enough about HSA with CPU and Dgpu.

[Maslofski]

sounds awesome!

Rekt how? Because AMD is finally joining the efficiency party? 

[sgloux3470]

Man, Q3 2016 is a long ways away.

 

Works out better for me since ~2 years is about what I was planning for an upgrade.  Q1 or Q2 2016 would have been a bit early.  

[ErickS89]

If zen can beat out my 5960x I'll jump ship and go team red, but Q3 2016 is a loong time away and I doubt I'll upgrade from a 5960x in just 1 year. I look forward to zen, hope it brings back the AMD stuff I remember!

Yeah, by that time Intel will have it's new architecture Skylake core, Zen is going vs that. If Zen shows to be better than Skylake that will be sweet!

I just hope that top tier multi -core cpus then won't suffer same thing as 5960x is vs 4790k, which is single core performance due to clock. That saddens me

I hope you're talking about skylake-e, not mainstream skylake.

But if it is the latter then I do have good reason to update my pc at that time if I see big performance increases even if it's a 10% increase from my 5960x.

[mr moose]

I am keenly waiting to see if Keller still has it, A lot has changed in the x86/x64 world since he left.  It's going to be awesome big if he succeeds where several before him have failed.

I doubt skylake desktop cpu's will be out until 2016 anyway, so you're probably right about zen and skylake butting heads. I would suspect that Intel will keep with its quad core and hyperthreading mainstream i7's for another generation or two, so it will be interesting, especially if a Zen core is comparable to a skylake core - hyperthreading would not make up for that.

Yes, I ment skylake-E ofc

[Jarro]

Hot 14nm-ness.  Hopefully hot performance-ness.

[CreativeTHC]

an fx 8350 at 14 nm?! either way, i wanna see that Zen at 220w lol

[Geekazoid]

I still think Intel is still gonna outperform any AMD CPU new or old, but if AMD can really give Intel a run for their money Zen (see what I did there ) that'd be good for us as consumers.
