POSTER: computer news   ||    AMD LURED JIM ANDERSON TO WORK ON ZEN	DATE:2017-06-07
As you know, the departure from AMD of the main specialist for the development of Zen architecture Jim Keller took place a few months before the release of the serial Ryzen CPUs on the market, but the current managers repeatedly stressed that the first results of this announcement are quite satisfied.  In fact, the goal of speeding up performance against its predecessors could even be blocked: Ryzen processors ensured an increase in the number of teams processed per clock cycle by 50% instead of the planned 40%. At the event Stifel Nicolaus 2017 Technology Internet & Media Conference,  Jim Anderson , who now holds the position of senior vice president, admitted that his "couple of years ago" attracted the opportunity to work on the creation of processors with Zenarchitecture  , and this Was one of the main reasons for his transition to work in AMD.  At Intel, as Anderson admits, he also dealt with the development of processor architectures, and "high-performance processors" are his hobby.  The more interesting it was to help Intel's main competitor to create a decent processor, as Anderson explains. Moreover, according to Jim, if we consider the increase in performance in relation to power consumption, then the Zen architecture and other attendant factors allowed Ryzen processors to improve their performance by 270% relative to their predecessors.   Select Rating : Currently 10.00/10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 48894 Rating: 10.0/10 (10 votes cast) AMD lured Jim Anderson to work on Zen	Add Comment ( 1 ) AMD LURED JIM ANDERSON TO WORK ON ZEN

POSTER: computer news   ||   INFINITY FABRIC - THE KEY TO GOOD SCALABILITY OF AMD ZEN PROCESSOR CORES	DATE:2017-06-07
Speaking about the advantages of Zen architecture, AMD Senior Vice President Jim Anderson admitted that the key to effective performance improvement as the number of cores in the processors increases is the high-speed interface of Infinity Fabric.  If it did not exist, then it would not be possible to scale the performance "almost linearly" as the number of processor cores increases. By the way, from the previous speeches of AMD CEO Lisa Su , we know that she considers it advantageous to produce small processor chips.  It is the high-speed interface Infinity Fabric that allows to combine four crystals on one substrate of the EPYC (Naples) processor in eight cores on each one, without serious, as it should be understood from the words of Jim Anderson,  threat to performance.

POSTER: computer news   ||    VEGA WILL MIGRATE TO RYZEN HYBRID PROCESSORS WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT ARCHITECTURAL CHANGES	DATE:2017-06-07
At the May meeting with analysts, and at the opening of Computex 2017, AMD's senior vice president Jim Anderson paid special attention to hybrid Ryzen processors with the graphics system Vega, which will be released in the second half of the year.   According to Anderson, in the mobile segment, the graphic architecture of Vega will rewind without significant changes.  Of course, the functional blocks in the desktop discrete version of Vega can be "significantly larger", which will determine the performance level and power consumption, but otherwise the graphic subsystem of mobile hybrid processors Ryzen will inherit many of the advantages of this graphics architecture. Moreover, Anderson is confident that the graphic system of hybrid processors Ryzen will be able to significantly exceed the speed of competing solutions from Intel.  Perhaps, only a little alarming is the fact that Anderson speaks exclusively about the use of hybrid versions of Ryzen in the mobile segment.  In addition, he claims that the Ryzen hybrid processors, although they will be released in the consumer segment by the end of this year, will only get significant distribution by the beginning of next year. Perhaps this indirectly indicates the late announcement of mobile Ryzen versions  . Last year, AMD managed to win its competitors in the notebook components segment, and Jim Anderson is confident that with the advent of mobile versions Ryzen, this trend will only increase.  In the desktop segment, AMD will also increase market share, both in the processor segment and in the discrete graphics segment.

POSTER: computer news   ||    AMD BELIEVES THAT THREADRIPPER PROCESSORS WILL APPEAL TO PROFESSIONALS	DATE:2017-06-07
Anderson did not provide exact dates for the announcement of Threadripper, he just repeated that the processors will be presented this summer.  But he confirmed that Threadripper processors will be more expensive than Ryzen 7, although it was obvious.  In addition, AMD representative  explained that Threadripper processors can attract the attention not only of game lovers, but also professionals in the field of 3D modeling and video editing.  Recall that one Threadripper processor will combine up to 16 cores and 32 streams, support 64 lines of PCI Express 3.0, and its memory controller will be able to work with a four-channel DDR4 cumulative volume of up to 2 TB.  AMD's senior vice president is convinced that Threadripper processors can be easily found in workstations as well. Along the way, Jim Anderson said that it is impossible to separate lovers of games from professional users.  According to him, there are no amateurs of games in pure form, and the owner of the gaming system usually actively uses its resources to solve professional problems.  From this point of view, it is difficult to assess the capacity of the gaming market segment .
