AMD’s New High Performance Processor Cores Coming Sometime in 2015 – Giving Up on Modular Architectu

[Boomstick777]

Ok, we just received some pretty interesting information from our Chinese friends over at EXPReview.com. Apparently AMD is giving up on CMT architecture and returning to the traditional SMT architecture for its next processor architecture coming in 2015.

Finally some hope that AMD aren't done with CPU's..

AMD is building a brand-new, x86-compatible CPU core that will serve to replace Bulldozer and its lineage.

AMD is returning to its roots, aiming to produce a best-in-class big core.

Thank god lol, hopefully back to being competitive again, new arch and 14nm node. 2016 is still a long ways off though..

Agreed, any Intel CPU from past couple years should have no problems with gaming etc over next couple of years, by then should see some real progress made in CPU's..

Those who do move to Z79 now will get Devil's Canyon and then potentially Broadwell next year, so that would take them right up to AMD's new CPU arch on 14nm with DDR4.

Either way, let's hope in 2016 AMD get truly competitive again.

Intel X99 is the upgrade that makes the most sense if you're building this year. On a more than 4 core chipset, DDR4 support, plus future compatibility with Broadwell -E. Even when the new AMD stuff is out in 2016 X99 could very likely still be competitive. Prob get at least 3-4 years at the highest end with X99. Def my next upgrade. Then move back to AMD in the future when things are better on the CPU front.

AMD CEO: Beyond the ‘Unhealthy Duopoly’ of PC Chips

WSJ: Let’s talk a little about server, where your share of the market–

Read: –Has gotten much smaller.

WSJ: Has gotten really small. Are you giving up on x86 server chips?

Read: No. So let’s be perfectly clear on that. I think that Bulldozer (AMD’s recent processor design) wasn’t the game-changer that people had thought it would be.

We went out and got world-class designers and world-class leaders like Jim Keller or Raja Koduri that came over from Apple.

They’re working on next generation work in that space, in the server space, in the cores space. And that’s going to be both ARM- and x86-based.

Them are fighting words, looking like the new architecture AMD put out to replace the iterations of Bulldozer is going to be very good. With traditional IPC performance back in the game. Be great if things get competitive again.

Get it right this time, AMD.

I think they will. Until then we are spoilt for choice on the Intel side. Haswell, Haswell -E, upcoming Broadwell and Skylake next year. Those will do nicely until AMD comes back Rocky style. I'll ditch my Intel setup in a heartbeat for a decent AMD setup. Would like a reason to support the underdog again.

Think they could do without starting the hype this early. Builds anticipation, allows Intel to milk us quickly while preparing to offer competition.

Launching it out of nowhere in 2 years time would have probably been more preferable, could have taken Intel by surprise and gained some hype through fact
