Amd ryzen: the first amd zen eight-core processor

Today is the day of the AMD New Horizon event in which the new Summit Ridge processors are expected to be officially announced along with their main features and why not any sample of what they are capable of. A few hours before the event, data from the AMD Ryzen processor has been leaked.

AMD Ryzen arrives to stand up to Intel

AMD Ryzen is the first processor based on the Zen microarchitecture and will arrive with a total of 8 physical cores and 16 processing threads. This chip will have 20 MB of L3 cache and will operate at a base frequency of 3.4 GHz, it has a turbo mode so its maximum frequency will be higher but still unknown. AMD has implemented Extended Frequency Range (XFR) technology, which allows the processor to increase its frequency above turbo mode if it has good cooling that keeps its temperature controlled, all automatically and transparently to the user.

We continue with Smart Prefetch which consists of advanced deep learning algorithms that serve to anticipate the times of access to information and thus improve its performance. Pure Power is responsible for improving energy efficiency with very fine control of temperature, frequency and voltage. Finally we have Precision Boost that promises to fine tune the processor's working frequency to the maximum in 25 MHz increments.

This afternoon will be the New Horizon event in which AMD is expected to give more details of its new silicon Ryzen.
