Amd zen 2 achieves a 29% improvement in the ipc compared to the first generation

AMD is doing very well in the PC processor market, and everything seems to indicate that it will be even better with the arrival of the new Ryzen 3000 based on the new Zen 2 architecture. AMD reportedly released its IPC performance guide for its upcoming Zen 2 microarchitecture, and the numbers are staggering.

Zen 2 offers up to a 29% higher IPC

The Zen 2 architecture of the next generation AMD CPU provides a massive IPC rise of 29% over the original Zen architecture. Zen 2 is being developed for TSMC's 7nm silicon manufacturing process, and will come first as part of the new EPYC Rome processors, which will be based on a multi-chip design with multiple 8-core chiplets that are not subdivided into CCX, and accompanied by a control die manufactured at 14 nm.

According to Expreview, AMD performed the DKERN + RSA test for whole and floating point units, to arrive at a performance index of 4.53, compared to 3.5 for the first-generation Zen, which is a CPI increase of 29.4%. Zen 2 goes one step further than Zen + as designers focus their attention on the critical components that contribute significantly to the IPC: the core interface and FPU processing units.

Zen 2 gets a new front-end that is better optimized to distribute and collect workloads among the various components. Arithmetic processing units are enhanced by 256-bit FPUs, and generally wider run pipes and windows. All this is brought together giving rise to the great rise in the CPI. Without a doubt, if AMD has really managed to improve the IPC by 29%, Intel will have serious problems.
