This is a new video from AMD recorded at a press conference, detailing their new processors which are set to roll out early 2017 named "Zen" which claimed a 40% IPC improvement over their previous line of processors called Excavator.



(From Paul's Hardware, which is more indepth from the video above)


They're showcasing their 8 core / 16 thread CPU named "Summit Ridge" which is AMD's equivilent of an i7 5960X or an i7 6900k

Information gathered:

- At clock for clock speeds it beats Intel's Broadwell-E i7 6900k when using Blender
- AMD's "simultaneous multi-threading" is what Intel calls hyperthreading
- Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was showcased using Summit Ridge, paired with a R9 Fury X showing smooth fps (we weren't told exact fps)
- Built on 14nm FinFET technology (same as AMD's Polaris video cards) which is half the die size used on their previous 28nm Excavator processors.
