Amd zen supports up to 32 cores per socket
Table of contents:
AMD Zen is the future and promising microarchitecture of Intel's competitor in the market for X86 processors for computers. Zen must return AMD to the top after several years without raising its head for unsuccessful FX based on the Bulldozer modular architecture.
AMD Zen will allow 32 cores in a single socket
We now know that AMD Zen will allow you to create systems with up to 32 x86 processing cores in a single socket. Zen is based on quad-core blocks and each socket supports up to 8 of these blocks, totaling 32 cores in total. Unlike Bulldozer and its evolutions, Zen is based on full cores, so its design has been thought to strengthen the performance of each of its cores, which has been the main problem of AMD in recent years with a lot of cores. less powerful than those of its great rival Intel.
All the changes AMD has made in Zen's design result in processors with approximately 40% more performance per core and per MHz compared to Excavator, the latest evolution of Bulldozer and which has only been used in notebook processors.
