AMD Confirms Zen3 Brings Entirely Brand New CPU Architecture, Delivers IPC Gains
- 0-_-0 7y agoHope they keep the AM4 socket for the forseeable future, it would be nice to upgrade the CPU a few years in.
- Zekio 7y agoPretty sure next generation is the last on AM4 unless AMD extends AM4 support beyond what they promised orginally
- anfilt 7y agoIf they can extend its use for more time more power to them. Although not sure what their mother board partners will think if its for too long. Although, I would try and keep the same socket as long as possible. When comes to higher core counts from my understanding the current socket is showing some strain.
- theandrewbailey 7y agoRumor is that Zen 3 will have 4-way SMT. I wonder how much this calculates into more IPC.
- uj8efdkjfdshf 7y agoRumour has it that SMT4 isn't planned for Zen 3[0] [0] https://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/49929/content/small_amd_epyc_roadmap.jpg https://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/49929/content...
- yrro 7y agoIs SMT as unsafe on AMD as it is in Intel?
- noir_lord 7y agoNo, they properly checked so they were not as affected as Intel. Meltdown didn't affect them at all and iirc they where only affected by one of the three spectre variants.
