Amd Zen is meeting expectations
AMD has reported that they have already finished testing the first prototypes of their new microprocessors based on the Zen microarchitecture that will supposedly arrive at the end of 2016 offering a great improvement over the current FX and APUs.
AMD claims that early Zen prototypes have met all of their expectations and have found no significant bottlenecks in the performance of the new microarchitecture.
This opens the hope that future Zen-based AMD CPUs can be really competitive against Intel solutions that have hitherto been unattainable for Sunnyvale processors.
The first Zen-based chips should arrive in the second half of 2016 alongside the new AM4 socket and support for DDR4 RAM. Zen marks AMD's return to a full-core architecture focused on delivering great performance per clock cycle (IPC), unlike Bulldozer and its derivatives that sacrifice IPC in exchange for offering a large number of cores.
