>tl;dr expect Haswell performance at launch (limited 2016 Q4 launch, wider availability in Q1 2017)

Taken from anandtech forums, all the information matches up with what's known so far.

Zen ES is at the moment in revision A0 - it might not be a surprise.

L2/L3 variations: 2/8 MB, 4/16 MB, 8/32 MB, 12/64 MB, 16/64 MB
(512kb L2/core, 8MB/4 cores)

Core counts are: 4c/8t, 8c/16t, 16c/32t, 32c/64t. As it seems now there won't be a 6c/12t at the launch, there will be only complete core complexes. Later AMD might release a 6/12 version, will see.

AMD's working on 2 kind of packages: AM4 and SP3. Later there might be a SP4 package of course.

4 variants of ES Zen are available at the moment:
AM4 8 cores with 95W TDP
AM4 4 cores with 65W TDP
SP3 24 cores with 150W TDP
SP3 32 cores with 180W TDP

The most exciting part is core clock. The 8c/95W variant base clock is 2.8GHz, all core boost is 3.05GHz and maximum boost is 3.2GHz.
The 4c/65W part's clock is the same. (I would expect 3.5GHz base clock for a retail 4c/95W variant.)

Idle clock is exciting as well. AM4 versions can lower the clock to 550 MHz in idle which is a very nice level from an AMD CPU. Idle wattage is 5W for 8c version and 2.5W for 4c version.

The SP3 versions have even lower idle clock: it's only 400MHz. Regarding the boost clocks the 32c/180W version has a 2.9GHz boost clock and the 24c/150W version has a 2.75GHz boost clock.

AFAIK Intel has no answer for the 32c/64t Zen variant, so it could be a great win for AMD on the server market.

What AMD is doing different in case of Zen is the purpose of the CPU. AMD doesn't build it for the future but for the present. Maybe it won't be strong in AVX and FMA but an average user won't realize it because the average user won't use the AVX and FMA capabilities. Average Joe will see that Zen is as fast as Haswell on Intel's side (if AMD won't screw it up) and it's enough for everything what Average Joe does on his PC.

On server side Haswell IPC and high core count with a reasonable price will convince the customers to give AMD a try. And I hope AMD can grab the chance after all the years of failures.

Can't get excited by CPUs news anymore. Weren't they supposed to have hundreds of cores by now?

I'm tired of proprietary, FMA-specific GPU shit.

>>55715092

Also this.

So in other words a 4 core Zen CPU will have lower IPC and a lower clock rate than an i7-6700K while consuming more energy. And by the time it's released we will already have Kabylake on the market which is even better than Skylake.
>>
>>55715075
They have access to Samsung's node as well apparently, so if GloFo fucks things up again, they can fall back on samsung's stuff until GloFo gets their shit together.

Personally I'm expecting around Haswell performance. If it does that and smacks my SB-E Xeon around a good bit, I'll probably get an 8c to replace the Xeon.

>I'm expecting sandy bridge performance.

The fact AMD states in their Q2 earnings slide deck that Zen is on track to beat their previous 40% IPC target is only good news.

I'm pretty sure that deliberately misleading investors can get you in to some serious shit so they wouldn't put it in unless they knew the target could be reached.

Just for reference - AMD's slides from a previous event that stated just 40%.
>>
>>55715127

Pretty much yeah.

Only thing they could have going is a very reasonable price.

It's not like intel drops the price of older generations when they're replaced. They just stop producing them and that's that.

True. Really you could only hope they would be more of a nuisance than perceived competition.

I almost feel bad for AMD on the GPU front. Every time they have something reasonable on the table nVidia already has an answer waiting in the wings to stomp them two weeks later.

>>55715292
Well if 16-core actually comes to consumer chips, then it will already beat a good deal of Intel shit since AMD isn't using the trash 2 core modules like last time. At least for my purposes, more cores would help. I'm expecting high launch prices for Zen though since there's gonna be low initial yields.
>>
>>55715319
Businesses have contracts and obligations. So even if they release it today, it won't have much impact on business sector for a while. What will have impact is the desktop market and the enthusiasts market. They will bring in the vocal support and PR for AMD. They will change at notice because they dont have obligations.

>Don't expect Skylake performance and you'll be happy.

Haswell performance is literally Skylake performance (minus 8%), you dumb shitfuck.

In essence, you're saying AMD will catch up to Intel with Zen.

Are you even listening to yourself? Now wonder you amd drones get disappointed so much. You don't even self-analyze your own speech.
>>
>>55715038
I'm currently on a 4.7GHz 4790K, if AMD actually manages the same IPC and the 8C part can OC up to the same ballpark - they've got themselves a customer if the price is also right, which is to say much cheaper than Intel's own 8C processors.

Still with a maximum boost of 3.2GHz it doesn't sound all too promising, I doubt a ~50% OC will be possible on a 8C part, even under a custom WC loop.

To be quite frankly honest, if it's better than Sandy or Ivy, then I'll buy just for the sake of getting 8 cores. ffmpeg and building software would get a nice boost, which I would definitely enjoy. I don't expect to pay less than $500 however.
>>
>>55716718
Get ready to spend at least $600. Don't expect AMD to cater to poorfags. They simply can't afford it anymore. If Zen fails, they're done.
>>
>>55715046
Sadly this. AMD doesn't deliver what they promise at all.
>>
>>55716755
I was going to say $600, but it would be weird having the 4core revision at half. They wouldn't price their 4core version at 6700k prices while not beating it.

So haswell ipc with worse clocks? That's disappointing. At least they'll have a competent core to build off of now.

How is the "low" clock a bad thing? fuck a 5Ghz can't match their 3.2Ghz...so a 2.8Ghz matching it is really good news.
>>
>>55715075

I do expect performance above haswell and maybe on par with broadwell, so 2-4% even 5% below Skylake would be very very nice.

Im not expecting an i5-i7 killer right out the gate...I wan't to think AMD will play it alá RX 480 launching first the 4C/8T variant along with maybe the 16c/32t variant to pump the hype on the 8c/32c variants.

Im running a 8320 @ 4.6Ghz for the past 3 years and im not complaning, shure a friend of mine has a 2500 non k with a 970 thats faster than my pc but it's not that much.

The thing i hope for is the APUs.

a 35W 4c/8t or 6c/12t with a moddest 270x-460x level of performance igpu on a cheap sub $500 usd laptop would be a killer in a market flooded with 2c/4t "i7's" paired with 840m-960m at above $500usd

now translate that to the desktop market with a 50+w TDP and AMD could be making it big time.

I seriously hope for them to be a success on the server and the custom chips market ...thats where the money is.

Summit Ridge will compete with Ivy Bridge-Haswell per clock.
Summit Ridge is positioned against the i7E line, not the higher clocked mainstream i5s and i7s.
Socket AM4 only supports 8 core chips. It does not support any MCM Opterons

Your overclocked Vishera will be incredibly close to Summit Ridge at stock clocks in more serial workloads.
>>
>tfw compiling fizzbuzz at 64 threads

I really hope that AMD succeeds this time, I don't think they can take another big failure after Bulldozer being such a flop. If they get the single core performance at least close to what current intel cpu's offer (maybe 5%-10% below skylake or something like that) it will probably be good enough for gaming, and those high core counts sound awesome for workstations.
>>
>>55716231
>spend ten times the R&D money
>get twice the performance
Geez that's hilarious diminishing returns
AMD should toss their CPU division twice the budget for a couple years and instead of (maybe) 80% competitive Zen they could be 90%
>>
>>55720850
Pricing will be massively important I think.

Like you said, I doubt they'll get near current Intel CPUs in terms of single core performance but if it's a good chunk cheaper I'll happily settle for a 8 core model or something.
>>
>>55720850
Theres nothing to worry about there, they're already getting deals for supplying a couple supercomputers. They even have a semi-custom APU for HPC some Chinese firm bought.

Depends on the work load. Strangely I got a 6700K and a 4790K and they both trade blows in CPU benchmarks. I expected the 6700K to win in every department but it doesn't. Only major win seems to be PCSX2 and Dolphin benchmarks.

Then why wouldn't you just buy a high end Xeon or the new i7-6950X?

AMD is going to have a tough time convincing anyone to buy their shit if they're going to make everyone pay a premium for the "privilege" of owning a precious Zen chip on top of having to buy a whole new motherboard.

Thanks, but no thanks. Kaby Lake will be here soon, so I see little reason to buy one of these Zens.

While I can see what AMD were doing if they had used a goddamn heatpipe based heatsink the 480 would've performed a lot better. Still they sold shitloads of them (sauce: gibbo) and really cashed in before Nvidia could get the 1060 out in force.

Though you;d think after the poor reference cooler of the 290x AMD would learn their lesson.

It wouldn't be a 199$ then
Heatsink would increace the price.

Also 150Watt was just a stupid marketing move.
I see they wanted to pretend theyir card is cool, but fuck it really choked the card's performance by a lot, and caused PCI iussues which was fixed by throttling (IRL core clock decreased to 1200 from 1260 while they really need to go 1350-1400 and blast the fuck outta 1060 with raw superpower)
>>
>>55722515

A 200 burger 480 is still the best price vs performance card on the market right now - which is why its so...odd TPU left out the 4gb model from ther price vs performance chart they had in theor 1060 review. For what the 480 (and hopefully, 470) are they are really, really good deals.

It looks unattractive compared to 260 or whatever aftermarket 1060.
60$-80$ is not worth saving on a long ter investment.
The other thing is that aftermarket 480 are A LOT BETTER but they came into game too late.
That's a marketing loss.

Getting 8 cores and 4770k performance for less than £180 would be nice but somehow I don't think that's going to happen. Despise what /g/ is spouting my i5 is starting to be a bottleneck in 1440p especially in games which utilise HT.

Consumer Summit Ridge, socket AM4 only supports 8 core chips.
It is not a mainstream desktop part. I have no idea how so many of you morons can't understand this. It is not positioned against intel's $200-$350 mainstream i5s and i7s. Summit Ridge is competing against intel's 6-10 core i7E chips, Haswell-E and Broadwell-E.

It'll compete directly against intel's best Haswell-E SKUs, and under cut the mid range of Broadwell-E by offering 8 cores for less.
The 6 core Broadwell-E i7 6850K has an MSRP of $617.

Are you retarded? I've been talking about the consumer enthusiastic 8 core CPU, still if I'm supposed to expect Haswell performance this shit can't cost more than £200 cuz for a little bit more I can get a 6700k

As expected of a subhuman Britfaggot.

It is. GPU encoding is useful for some sort of real-time encoding without murdering your CPU, so basically any application that requires live gameplay recording. Things like Shadowplay (and AMD's equivalent), GameStream and Steam In-Home Streaming are where GPU encoding is very useful, because it can capture footage with minimal performance impact and you can generally afford to capture at high bitrate, which means you can somewhat mitigate the fact that the encoders don't output amazing quality.

If you're looking for quality software encoding is still king.

Wait and see what the benchmarks say.

I'd rather pick up an ES Xeon

the fact that you think this will be anything more than a massive failure is very indicative of your intelligence level

I thought the 14nm was Samsung's process or is that only FinFET?
>>
>>55718743
what was wrong with the first K7?
>>
>>55723418
Not an argument.

>>55723595
GloFo's 14nm node is Samsung's. They each run the same lines between 3 Samsung facilities and GloFo Fab #8.
Though that anon has no idea what hes talking about.

I wonder how much the quad core variant will cost.

I hope we see USB-C support on AM4 too.
>>
>>55715038
all the amd need to win server market is to decimal64 fpu thus massively increasing simulation accuracy ( provided that software will support it)

also lack of fma/avx kinda worries me
>>
>>55724400

Random fact of the day: running avx2 IBT for haswell and later Intel chips is thermally destructive.

>i red a lot of shit before the rx480
You must have read some really tripped stuff, then. All I read before it was released was that Polaris was explicitly aimed at the middle-tier market and never intended to compete with nVidia's higher-end offerings.

dropped

>>55722483
In all likelihood, the difference is that your tablet has hardware decoding for H.264.
>>
>>55724400
>also lack of fma/avx
Wait, have they confirmed anything about this? They usually leave most things available.
>>
>>55725346
No, this was a terrible rumor debunked long ago.
>>
>>55724472
Nigga you will be lucky if their 4core variant is $250. Their 8 core will be at least $500 and I'm being generous.

>just want a cheap 4 core don't really care if i3 is better at single threaded performance
suffering

>>55721321
Intel newest 8 cores are too expensive if you want comparable clock.

I'd wait out for Zen because their 8 cores will probably be marginally cheaper.

>waitfags
I know. I know. But the difference this time is the in price. AMD's price will surely be less than 50% for their 8c16t compared to Intel shit, which goes for $1000+
>>
>>55715038
>tl;dr
we knew this last year for the performance
>>
ZEN is 2 years late to the party.
>>
>>55725669
This. Would have been much better even if they launched it at the start of this year.
>>
>>55721321
You should wait until the next high end socket is released. LGA-2066 I think it's going to be called. Maybe Zen too. Do not upgrade to more cores right now, it's fucking retarded. Specially since you have a shitty consumer platform where you can't just ebay some used 8 core Xeon and replace your existing processor with it.

>>55718600
You know... I'll cap just in case, for the lulz if it happens

>The SP3 versions have even lower idle clock: it's only 400MHz. Regarding the boost clocks the 32c/180W version has a 2.9GHz boost clock and the 24c/150W version has a 2.75GHz boost clock.
Kind of insane clocks for magny cores server chips
>>55716755
>Don't expect AMD to cater to poorfags
The Polaris lineup is completely designed to cater to poorfags
Zen is mainly aimed at the server market though
>>55722360
Intel's Quicksync literally became worse all around after Ivy Bridge, no one compares VCE/NVENC generations but they have always been awful
>>55721140
Probably after Cannonlake
>>
>>55725743
Yeah thats the plan. Im thinking next computer. Quit smoking last year so all that cost is now "play money" if you will. Doesnt mean I wanna spend it now but just would like an 8 core. Im assuming Ill build around the time big volta releases (late 2018 unless im misunderstanding stuff I been googling) trying to get an idea of reasonable expectations but its kinda hard since not too knowledgable and cant easily identify amd/nvidia/intel fanboys and pure hopefull bs.
>>
>>55715038
>Haswell
Lol no faster than my 3 year old i5 4690 just with MAOR THREADS

If they overclock good ill wait for the next couple of gens
>>
>>55715127
At half the price.

I just hope the target prices for the Zen based opterons are reasonable. Getting real tired of this $4,000 xeon bullshit.

>>55715151
You read shit about vega, which is not out yet.
