AMD X86 Zen News & Update: Benchmark Test Reveals Similar Performance With A10-Core Intel Xeon E5? Are There Any Difference?

AMD x86 Zen after series of tests revealed that it performs the same as A10-Core Intel Xeon E5 chip. There are implications of this specific finding of AMD x86 Zen.

According to HNGN, the Zen has been consistently AMD's highly anticipated and much-awaited products. It is the first attempt to do high-end CPU since the introduction of Bulldozer micro-architecture.

Findings revealed that AMD x86 Zen has been listed as "AMD Engineering Sample" it manages the the Blender run in 69seconds that it is considered exactly the same performance as Intel Xeon 2680 v2 processor.

The AMD x86 Zen also has 10 cores. The AMD x86 Zen is also considered relatively faster than the Xeon E5 2650 v2 as it only comes with an 8-core processor. Both of these features are low in terms of base clocks but it is mostly the case with Xeon chips having 2.8GHz and 2.6GHz.

After such tests, it is encouraging to see the competitive performance of AMD chips after a long time. After the AMD x86 Zen's confirmation is announced it is expected to be a breakthrough in graphics processor segment.

As added by Mobipicker, AMD is especially particular in sticking to the philosophy of maintaining the homogenous architecture across Zen products. AMD plans to initially ship few variants from 8 cores for Summit Ridge and up to 32 cores for the Naples processor.

The AMD x86 Zen is considered to be more powerful when compared to Core i7-6900K. This is the octa-core processor for the Summit Ridge platform.

The AMD x86 Zen manages to run in 1:09minutes. This is what made it exactly the same as Intel Xeon E5 2680 v2 processor. This is a chip that has 10 cores.

The AMD x86 Zen's architecture is a big leap forward and is done in a package where good conversations were done together with OEMs in the server space with the customer. The opportunity was shown to rebuild and do it in a more consistent way. It is the time to execute and deliver according to Rory Read.
