Zen will be amd's new microarchitecture

Anonim

It has been rumored for a long time and now it has been confirmed by AMD that Excavator will be the last microarchitecture based on the Bulldozer modular architecture, so they will not launch any high-performance x86 product until 2016 when a completely new microarchitecture will arrive under the name AMD Zen.

The new AMD Zen will be used both in high-performance desktop processors and in future APUs that AMD promised will be 25 times more energy efficient by 2020, so it is to be hoped that Zen will be characterized precisely by a major step forward. in terms of efficiency. AMD works on various technologies to achieve its goal of offering more efficient APUs and processors with the use of electricity, among them are inter frame power gating, per-part adaptive voltage and ultra low power idle state.

The new AMD Zen architecture will be optimized for future manufacturing processes FinFET with three-dimensional transistors so it is expected that the new processors will arrive with a 16nm lithographic process, in addition AMD is already working on the architectures that will follow Zen that will be based on processes manufacturing in 14 and 10 nanometers.

Recall that the new AMD is expected for 2016 at least and we will have to wait some time to have more data about it.
