A die shot of Zen has been revealed earlier this month at ISSCC (International Solid-State Circuits Conference)

The main thing to notice here is of course the fact that each core has only one integer and FPU section, rather than splitting an FPU between two integer units. This represents a major design departure from earlier designs by AMD such as Bulldozer, Piledriver, etc, but is not entirely a surprise as Ryzen has been known (or at the very least, strongly suspected) to utilize such a config for quite some time now. This represents part of AMD's overall attempt to improve IPC by moving from a CMT (clustered multi-threading) model to a SMT (simultaneous multi-threading) based model, essentially trading two integer sections per core for one larger, better performing one. This will certainly go a long way towards raising single threaded performance and IPC.

AMD's main statement about the CCX module is that it is flexible, and allows for several adjustments to be made in the future with regards to L3 cache and core configuration. I would assume this is strong evidence that AMD has plans for Ryzen well beyond the initial "Summit Ridge" line of processors, if one were to be in the guessing game. Furthermore, AMD emphasizes the simplicity of their design. While it is true that Intel's 14nm process is a little more dense than AMD's (smaller), AMD says it has more than made up for this loss with a simpler, more efficient design that saves die space over Intel's present architecture. As such, AMD is confident it is finally on a "node parity" with Intel, something that we have not seen in quite a while, and should have a good many enthusiasts drooling at the very thought.

Do it good AMD.

I hope they are working Redhat engineers on this. Still no details on branch prediction?

Really like the pictures, but it looks pretty par for the course.

Make OP great again!

Any of you guys watch the PCper discussion on the Zen architecture

oh , well just making shure  , i dont wanna post some dodgy screen-cap of some cpu z score as "CONFIMRED RYZEN 1600X" 

oh and gpu z , being the most reliable source of performance metrics 

 

or task manager , in SINGLE GRAPH MODE as proof of a SIX CORE chip existing
