No Dual and Four Cores Zen CPUs all 6 and 8 core

No Dual and Four Cores Zen CPUs all 6 and 8 core

At least that is what sources from bits and chips in Italy say. If true then with the perf boost and 8-cores, the Zen chips do look mighty good. AMD will produce just the 8 “Zen” Cores Die, at least initially. This strategy will save a lot of money, because AMD has just to design a single Die. 

According to them: From this single Die, AMD will be able to commercialize 8 cores and 6 cores Zen CPUs in the retail market (maybe, with and w/o HT enabled). Also, in case of bad yields, OEMs/ODMs can use 4 cores Zen CPUs. So, no dual core Zen CPUs. AMD will commercialize Bristol Ridge APUs with 2 and 4 x64 cores as entry level CPUs. AMD want to attack Intel's leadership in High End CPU market, and to accomplish this goal have to launch a massive attack.

If the IPC improvement will really bring Zen around Haswell levels, this is going to be amazing. Intel will have to respond and competition will flourish once again.

While they want to dispute the high-end market, I hope they remember that the midrange is more profitable. Let's hope they don't delay midrange processors by too much.

I'm predicting ivy bridge performance at best. We'll see soon enough.

I expected to be faster than a Sandy Bridge. Even if it has 8 cores it needs higher IPC than that.

Either way finally a competition.

I really hope AMD start competing again. I'm tired of the lack of competition and Intel jacking up their prices, while only increasing performance by 5% each new CPU generation. Come on AMD! I cheering for you!!
