That's all we have that's official. There was a report last week though that the 8 core Zen CPU will be twice as fast as the previous FX 8350, fast enough to compete against a high end Intel i7. I'm pretty sure that would mean that Zen would top Intel's latest Skylake CPU's in each price range. Price is expected to be somewhere around $120 for 4 core, $160 for 6 core, and $200 for 8 core I think, but that's just speculation. The rumored 2x increase in performance comes from a mixture of the 40% more instructions per clock that AMD mentioned, as well as AMD's new simultaneous multi-threading technology. |
My bad, I somehow got the impresion that they woud also mention zzen in this conference.
It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.
