Western colleagues already talked about some of the x86-compatible features in processor architecture Zen, which AMD plans to bring to market in 2016. AMD is going to confer server processors enough graphics performance, which could be involved in accelerating the computation.
Thus, the modular design architecture will allow AMD to collect in a single processor the right amount of cores, four times. For example, in the case of the server processor may be a combination of the four modules in each of the four cores. Per core, which is able to handle two threads at the same time, we have 512 KB of cache, and the cache memory of the third level is shared - 2 MB per core. Thus, the theoretical quad-core processor architecture Zen can have 4 x 512KB of cache and 8 MB cache in the third level. In the 16-core processor version of this generation is equipped with 16 x 512 KB of cache and 32 MB cache in the third level.
The memory controller will support quad-channel mode, up to DDR4-3200 inclusive (with ECC), 256 GB per channel, two modules per channel. Embedded controller PCI Express 3.0 will support 64 lines, sixteen of which can be allocated for the implementation of the support of two ports SATA Express and 14 ports SATA-600.
Graphic system Greenland will be equipped with its own memory type HBM up to 16 GB with a capacity of 512 Gb / s. A half speed floating point double precision and ECC support will allow to use a graphics system outside classical applications. Compatible with platform HSA and high-speed interface GMI allow components to communicate with the CPU at high speed. Related Products :
