AMD processors with Zen architecture will have up to 32 cores , but still so far these processors are shrouded in mystery.
It is reported that the elder of these processors, codenamed Naples), will have 32 cores, 64 threads, and really a lot of cache in the third level. The cores will be grouped in modules of four pieces, and each unit will receive an 8 MB cache in the third level. The total volume will amount to 64 MB. Each individual core will have 512 KB cache in the second level.
It reported that Naples receives eight independent memory channels 128 and PCI Express 3.0 lines. This will allow "a full" use with this processor 32 drives NVMe or SATA. Also worth noting that this processor will support sixteen 10-Gbps connections, Ethernet, and network controller is integrated into the chipset.
Server AMD processors on Zen architecture will support x86 instruction set, and they will be carried out at the facilities of GlobalFoundries 14-nm process technology. Processors will have a design of the AMD SP3 type LGA. The line will include processors with 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 cores. Their TDP level will be from 35 to 180 watts.
Fudzilla also confirmed that initially will be issued Zen desktop processors, and only after their server, and even later - mobile. It is reported that the server processors will be released at the end of this year - early next year. It formally confirms the words of AMD representative on account of the fact that Zen processors will come in time.
