Final retail samples could be more than 15% IPC jump versus what we have been hearing for a while. But it doesn’t end here.
Zen 2 is also aiming to fix and improve upon the memory controller by reducing the memory delay and allowing better support for higher frequency, lower latency memory. The other thing being talked about is AVX support. It is said that Zen 2 won’t support AVX-512 but will definitely get AVX performance enhancement compared to what Zen 1 can do right now. The clock speeds also get a huge jump, thanks to both, the TSMC 7nm node and revamped architecture design and one can also expect refined boost frequencies, allowing for higher XFR and Precision Boost limits.
