Under Intel's huge pressure, AMD has always been inexpensive in the chip market, with the latest ZEN CPU, they are very likely to complete the Jedi counterattack. Recently, the core architecture of the CPU has its own name - Ryzen. With the approach of 2017 Q1 listing, AMD's transformation will become the focus of external attention. Today, AMD opened the mystery of the chip.
The first product of the Ryzen architecture will be a Summit Ridge chip family that will take the high-end desktop chip market. Summit Ridge chip is 8 core 16 thread CPU, and the series chip uses multi-threaded parallel processing technology, which is a true 8-core processor. This solution relative to the prior pushes of the bulldozer, is simply a larger thread. Summit Ridge chip is up to 3.4GHz, although it is slightly informed than the latest Intel i7-6700k (I7-6700K up to 4GHz), but its performance is already possible to crush the Intel's 8-core 16 thread version of Broadwell. The -e processor (the frequency 3.2 GHz).
It is true that the CPU's clock is not everything, but the previous exterior is worried that the Ryzen architecture will be greatly lagging behind the competitors, but now prove AMD still has certain strength, through the improvement of IPC (40%), Ryzen The architecture chip is only 100W, far below the 140W power consumption of the Broadwell-e processor.
In addition, AMD is expressed, with SENSEMI technology (machine intelligence), the chip also has a lot of potential to dig. In PURE POWER mode, the CPU will limit the temperature, the frequency, and the voltage sensor in power saving. In Precision Boost mode, the performance of the CPU will be fully released.
Not only that, AMD also prepares a metamorphosis Extended Frequency Range mode, as long as the user's heat dissipation measures are properly improved, the performance of the CPU will greatly increase. AMD said that users do not need to manually switch different modes, this process is completely automated. Therefore, even if you are not a DIY overclocking, you can experience the feeling of CPU. However, if you are a computer, the performance of the CPU can be added to the top floor.
AMD also prepares "Neural Net Prediction" and "Smart Prefetch", two single stunt, which will increase the efficiency of the CPU processing data for the Ryzen architecture. AMD said that the Ryzen architecture chip uses real artificial intelligence, which can make decisions, preload instructions, to enhance performance performance through learning of data access mode, and help the brain after this back, is a strong 4MB 2 Level cache and 16MB level 3 cache.
There are also AM4 platforms with the Ryzen architecture, and new platforms have improved support for many functions, including DDR4 memory, PCIe Gen3, USB 3.1 Gen2, and NVME storage. AMD said that the new AM4 platform can support a multi-generation processor, so it will not be out of time.
At the moment, the RYZEN architecture chip's listing time and price are still a mystery. However, as long as the pricing is reasonable, it still has a strong market competitiveness, and it is also very likely to pull the smile high-end desktop chip market for many years of Intel E series chips.
If the AMD's 8-core chip can be entered into the mainstream market and narrow the gap between the Intel products in a single thread performance, the CPU market will set off a new round of "风 血雨".
