Yet another Zen CPU rumor published today:
Quote:
AMD Zen 8 core high enthusiast Summit Ridge CPUs are allegedly slated for an October release on the new AM4 socket. A source close to AMD claims that the eight core Summit Ridge CPU dies have taped out in January and are running through testing and validation right now...
The CPUs allegedly feature a 95W TDP and eight high performance Zen cores with multi-threading for a total of 16 threads. Zen is said to have extremely competitive single threaded performance, with more instructions per clock than Intel’s Broadwell and just a smidgen behind Skylake...
Note the use of the word "allegedly". We'll see what actually happens.
