AMD creating hybrid processors is ready for the segment of high-performance solutions. In this case, the graphics system, borrowed from discrete products of the previous generation, will work to accelerate the computation.
Colleagues from the site Fudzilla managed to get acquainted with AMD plans in this area, and they explained that in 2016 processors with x86-compatible architecture Zen will offer up to 16 cores, grouped in blocks of four cores. Each core will have a second-level cache, but the cache in the third level will be shared by all four cores. The memory controller will support four-channel DDR4, will support PCI Express 3.0 by the CPU and graphicssystem generation Greenland Arctic Islands will be equipped with its own memory type HBM. Communication between the graphics system and the cores will be established on a new high-speed interface Coherent Fabric.
Most likely, like quad modules will be formed and the rest of AMD processors range , x86-based architecture. Recall that in 2016, AMD promises to provide processors with the architecture K12, developed under license from ARM.
