Thank God I won't have to upgrade me 4770k for a few more years. Hopefully Zen lives up to it's expectations.

Speaking of Zen, AMD finally starting to release some stuff. Sounding phenomenal.


quote:

The comparison shows just how improved the eight-core Summit Ridge offering is compared to their “Orochi” quad module, which is also an eight-core die that powered the FX 8350.

Performance-wise, each Zen core is equivalent to two Piledriver cores. Considering Excavator cores are roughly 15% faster per clock than Piledriver, this means Zen would offer 60% more performance per clock than Piledriver – which in turn puts it in direct competition with Intel i7 5960X.

AMD’s highly-anticipated Summit Ridge will be available in both six- and eight-core arrangements. AMD Summit Ridge CPU Die has also leaked out, which reveals four Zen based cores, 16MB of L3 cache, and a dual-channel DDR4 memory controller, in addition to an integrated south bridge.
