AMD Opens The Lid on Zen Architectural Details at Hot Chips – Huge Performance Leap Over Excavator, Massive Throughput on 14nm FinFET Design
A lengthy description of Zen CPU architecture with slides as presented by AMD -- initially up to 32 cores and 64 threads in some products. It will be combined with Vega GPU for number crunching in some huge core count products.

...A 2 socket solution should mean a total of 64 cores and 128 threads along with denser memory capacities that make Opteron sound like a kid in the park. We would also see next generation HPC server chips which combine 32 high-performance cores alongside massive Vega GPUs that will be used to crunch FP64 calculations. That has been in the plans for quite some time and with Naples rolling out in Q2 2017, we might see it sometime around 2018...
