Quote:AMD is claiming a 40% boost in IPC over Excavator cores, not Bulldozer or Piledriver. Which on its own is impressive. For a highly competitive price, Zen CPUs could become a new option.
AMD has just announced that the Zen CPU meets all their expectations.
It's going to be a high-performance, competitive CPU with the best value for your money.
And with the latest patches, the CPU is already supported under Linux.
What I'm waiting for is the APU variant with next-gen integrated graphics and HBM2.
