AMD wants to increase performance per cycle by more than 7 percent annually

AMD wants to increase performance per cycle by more than 7 percent annually

Performance per clock cycle (Instructions per Cycle, IPC) is a term we use iften here at Guru3D. With the Zen-2 architecture aka Ryzen 3000, Threadripper 3000 and Epyc Rome, AMD recently managed to raise the IPC by around 15 percent compared to Zen+ (Ryzen 2000).

If you have read the previous news, then ZEN3 will again offer more IPC, Ryzen 4000 in late  2020 - according to recent speculations, it could even be 17 percent. And the subsequent processor generations should also bring significant IPC gains.

Our colleagues from Anandtech interviewed AMD's Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Mark Papermaster. AMD wants to continue to bring new processors to the market in a 12 to 18-month cadence and thereby exceed the current industry standard of 7 percent annual IPC increase - converted to one and a half years, this would correspond to 10.7 percent.

"We have previously noticed that the industry is experiencing slow 7% annual growth in single-thread performance, and our goal is to outperform each generation of our products. With our latest products, we do better than that Industry cut off and industry expectations exceeded. "

A higher performance per cycle depends on several factors, but it is primarily influenced by refined manufacturing processes and, above all, the microarchitecture. Zen 3 is manufactured using the 7 nm EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) process and is said to offer a completely new core design. In addition, according to Papermaster, several teams are currently working on Zen 4, Zen 5 and even more distant generations of architecture.

Good luck to them !

We really need it, after so many years of sub-5% Y2Y increases (or even decreases in some cases... AMD guilty of that too)

Seriously considering Ryzen 4000 for a potential build at the end of this year (yep I had to remember we're in the New Year now!) - will take a look at the reviews, compare it to what Intel is offering and then make my choices...it's looking good for Ryzen 4000!

AMD is not tired of winning.

An i5 2500K should not be viable these days but it is, because Intel gave maybe 25% IPC increase over 9 years.
Meanwhile you look at ARM and they manage 15-25% performance increases every year, getting near Intel mobile performance levels now and using a fraction of the watts.
Intel really held computing back and I'm glad that this dark age of PCs is finally ending.
