13/12/16 AMD release info on First 8cores 16 threads Zen “RYZEN” CPUs Detailed – 8 Cores 3.4Ghz+, 16 threads & Auto Overclocking With “XFR”

AMD’s new desktop Zen CPUs are officially called RYZEN. They boast 8 cores, 3.4Ghz+ clock speeds & will overclock themselves automatically. You heard that right. AMD’s upcoming enthusiast line of “Summit Ridge” desktop processors based on the Zen microarchitecture come with an auto overclocking feature right out of the box.

It’s all thanks to a new technology that the company calls “XFR”, short for Extended Frequency Range. Which automatically boosts the clock speed of RYZEN CPUs beyond their official nominal values and stretch them as far as the cooling will allow, without any intervention from the user. It sounds like the stuff of sci-fi and fan fiction, but it’s very much real.

AMD RYZEN Desktop Zen CPUs Feature 8 Cores, 3.4Ghz+ & Auto Overclocking With “XFR”
Thanks to a leak by VCZ we have learned several new exciting things about AMD’s next generation family of desktop Zen processors, code named “Summit Ridge”. First things first, the new CPU family will carry the “RYZEN” brand pronounced, risen. These chips will feature up to 8 cores and 16 threads and will run at a clock speed of 3.4Ghz+ right out of the box.

AMD has also confirmed that RYZEN features 16MB of L3 cache and 4MB of L2 cache for a total of 20MB of cache.
The new caches feature a brand new, clever prefetches. Which recognizes mission critical data based by actually learning the data access patterns of a given application. This vital data is then tagged and prefetched for immediate use. It can also learn the location of future data accesses by analysing the code of whatever program is running.

Higher Clock Speeds At Lower Voltages And Lower Power Consumption

Complementing “XFR” which we discussed earlier are two other interconnected features called Pure Power and Precision Boost.

Pure Power works by monitoring temperature, frequency and voltage readings in real time via embedded sensors distributed across the Zen cores. These sensors feed data back to what AMD calls the “Infinity Control Fabric” which then adjusts power to adapt perfectly to the situation. The goal is to use the least amount of voltage required to run any given structure. This results in lower average power consumption and cooler operation.

The official release date has not been announced yet, but AMD confirmed that it will take place in the first quarter of 2017. Which includes any time before April next year.
