'AMD Zen' Has A Matched Performance With The Intel Xeon E5; AMD Plans To Launch A Variant To Beat The Intel K-Series

The "AMD Zen" Architecture is about to come early next year and yet, the company is now presenting the capabilities of the forthcoming high-powered processor. Reports show that the "AMD Zen" is performing similarly to the Intel Xeon processor.

A confirmed report has been released that the AMD x86 Zen has a matched performance with Intel Xeon E5, which is known to be a 10-core processor, powerful for a server computer. This may be a surprise for all the AMD fans since the upcoming "AMD Zen" will be released in the market with a cheaper price that can be used for a gaming rig.

According to the HNGN, "AMD Zen" benchmark test was held recently and it showed a very impressive performance. The sad part is, the AMD company did not give further information about what AMD x86 Zen was represented, and that leaves us a sort of complication as the report added.

In the previous report, the benchmark test details of the "AMD Zen" processor were disclosed via the Blenchmark. You find that the 16-core variant performs well more than anyone could expect.

The company was reportedly planning to launch some variants that scale from the 8-Core "AMD Zen" Summit Ridge to the powerful 32-Core AMD Naples processor. This really proves that AMD is now ready to get even close to Intel or even beat it as far as they can.

Meanwhile, the Tech Frag mentioned in their report that the AMD is also looking to match the Intel's overclocking feature. So far, the Intel currently pulled out the K-Series, which has unlocked multipliers that can be overclocked with the correct motherboard.

The "AMD Zen" is about to walk in the same path as several reports show. AMD tends to aim those advanced users as they will make the AMD x86 Zen capable of overclocking by sending out a couple of overclockable variants.

Gamers seemed to be pretty excited for the upcoming "AMD Zen" processor, which is set to release next year. If the "AMD Zen" is the next big thing, gamers might find a cheap replacement for the Intel K-series.
