Details Zen revealed

[Dirk Broer]

AMD invited select members of the press and analysts to come and discuss the next layer of Zen details.
This is AnandTechs Ian Cutress analyses,
and this is Paul Alcorn's of Tom's Hardware.

The i7-6900K in the comparison tests that was downclocked from 3.2 GHz to 3 GHz (to even the clocks of both CPUs) is no slouch either:
it is the most expensive consumer Socket 2011-3 Consumer i7, with 8 cores and 16 threads and sets you back some $1100.00 upon purchase. It also has a 140 Watt TDP.

I hope that Zen will reach the 3.2 (3.7 turbo) GHz too upon launch, has at least all the instruction sets that the i7 has, will have a lower TDP, be able to support more RAM
and that consumers (like we, crunchers) will get the chance to get their hands on the 32-core/64 thread model too.

Two 32-core/64 thread Zen CPUs, smothered in RAM as we would like to see them.
We only miss the active cooling part here, should be at least two 15 cm Noctua's in tandem, push/pulling the air over the CPUs...
