Hmmm, I see we hit the post button within a minute of each other
And, from the same site as above a few hopeful words about the new AMD CPU design:
Quote:
AMD has said that its Zen engineers had total freedom to build a chip from scratch and come up with the best..
Zen could be the project that either saves AMD or kills it stone dead so it is not as if there is much pressure .. to succeed..
Plummer said that it was the first time in a very long time that engineers have been given the total freedom to build a processor from scratch and do the best we can do. We guess that if you are making a last roll of the dice, you might as well bet the farm on it..
The new cores will offer at least 40 per cent performance improvement at the same clock-rate compared to existing cores.
