AMD Zen Summit Ridge Die says Hello

AMD Zen Summit Ridge Die says Hello

Over at SemiAccurate they spotted something interesting, it seems to be the AMD Zen Summit Ridge Die as AMD seems to have accidentally outed a rendering of the wafer at its May 12th shareholders meeting.

Summit Ridge is the high-end desktop (HEDT) product that AMD has previously promised to release in Q4 of this year. It’s expected to be the first chip that integrates AMD upcoming Zen CPU architecture.  Expectations are high and Summit Ridge may prove to be a make or break product for AMD.

The "Summit Ridge" Zen family will feature a unified AM4 socket with its GPU-equipped "Bristol Ridge" APU counterparts, and feature DDR4 support and a 95W TDP.  While newer roadmaps don't confirm the TDP for desktop products, they suggest a range for low-power mobile products with up to two Zen cores from 5 to 15W and 15 to 35W for performance-oriented mobile products with up to four Zen cores.

Each Zen core will have four integer units, two address generation units and four floating point units, and the decoder can decode four instructions per clock cycle. L1 data cache size is 32 KiB and L2 cache size 512 KiB per core. Two of the floating point units are adders, two are multipliers.

See the wafer shot below ...

Same.

The last AMD processor I owned in my main computer was a Clawhammer 3200. I upgrading to it from a Pentium 3. I remember playing UT on it and my framerate like nearly doubled despite the fact I was using the same GPU, an Nvidia 4200. I upgraded to a 9800XT that same year and my performance like doubled again.

Was a good year.

I kind of hope they keep the Zen name for marketing and not just use it as the codename. It's a cool name and I think it's already ingrained into everyone's head.

Well it depends, bulldozer was also a good name, untill it showed that it was a very good multi core prosessor, but too poor on single core effeciency.

The first slide is from May 2015, so it's a bit old, if the image is of a zen, then it might or might not be current.


I keep my options open, i do care to some degree about wattage, but if the price is right and performance is as good as Intel's options I'll probably go for a new AMD. So i at least support both companies. Since my laptop and hackintosh are I7's.

Kind regards
Brut.

My last AMD CPU was a X2 4400+. At the time, an AMD Athlon was the clear choice for gaming rigs. It's been 10 years of Intel domination. Hopefully Zen makes things more interesting. If it annihilates Intel CPUs, all the better.

This is all very interesting. Im doing an overhaul this year. I might end up with AMD all around for my main system. Zen+Polaris sounds so sweet. We'll see...
