AMD this afternoon kicked off its first Financial Analyst Day in three years. During the hiatus, AMD has had a change of leadership and the company has seen its market share erode in the processor and GPU markets. However, on the x86 side, AMD is pushing forward with the 2016 launch of processors based on its new Zen core. For starters, Zen-based processors will bring with them a significant boost in overall performance and a roughly 40% IPC improvement. Although AMD didn't offer specifics, it touts Zen as having a “high-bandwidth, low-latency cache system†and that it will be built on an “energy-efficient†14nm FinFET process.

 

In addition, AMD will be launching a next generation Radeon graphics architecture in Q2. Perhaps the biggest enhancement comes from what AMD claims is the world’s first implementation of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). AMD’s 3D-stacked HBM greatly improves memory bandwidth while at the same time reducing power consumption...
