[Top view] AMD ZEN will be able to fight 8 core i7 Intel panic?
Tencent Digital (Zhou Shuo) "i3 A8, i5 seconds the whole family, i7 into a dregs," a netizen's joke reflects the real situation in the past two years compared AMD and Intel processors. In AMD's “little yearsâ€, agribusiness companies have to use the publicity caliber “power consumption performance ratioâ€, “dual card exchangesâ€, and high cost performance. But with the ZEN processor's exposure and release date approaching, the embarrassing situation that has continued for several years may be broken. Like millions of netizens, as a DIY enthusiast, that red flame seems to rekindle in my heart. What level of ZEN processor? Top-level 8-core i7 In fact, when it comes to ZEN's new products, the most important question in my heart is what level of it? I believe you will also have this question. After all, killing each other for so many years with Intel, especially in the last two years, AMD has been being whipped by Intel. As a result, I took a closer look at some of the product features and test breaks and discovered that perhaps this time with the ZEN processor AMD really has to stand up! It is reported that the first batch of products listed is the desktop version, and it is one of the top eight nuclear products, compared to the current AMD's top APU, the performance improvement rate reached more than 40%. And not too long ago, AMD organized a small number of closed betas to "publicly" demonstrate the performance of the 8-core Summit Ridge at 3GHz in a confidential manner. The performance leveled the top product i7-6900K in the current Intel camp, and we compared them. Among the commonly used test software CINEBENCH R15, the 8-core product is also tied at i7-6850K. Compared to the performance of Intel's products in the past, this is simply A-Powder's long-term historical catch-up! In terms of the motherboard interface, the new ZEN processor is officially upgraded to the AM4 platform. The platform will be the same as the AM3+ and FM2+ two platform product lines, and will also support the latest DDR4 memory and USB3.1 interface. The first motherboards to be listed will include B350 and X370 models. Moreover, the ZEN processor provides a solid channel model for agricultural enterprises. It is reported that the current 8-core 16GB version of the ZEN engineering sample frequency has been further optimized, the default frequency has reached 3.15GHz, and Turbo will be able to reach 3.3GHz, while AMD will also provide The overclocked version is said to be easily overclocked to 4.2GHz or even higher, which undoubtedly gives DIY players new imagination. Pig teammates broke the news: The price of the desktop version on January 17 will not exceed 2K! Mingchao official WeChat message (click to enlarge) Recently, the motherboard brand, Ming Hao, broke the news (it was subsequently deleted in a harmonious way). The ZEN processor will arrive on January 17th. This undoubtedly clarifies the specific time when the previous product will be Q1. Well, normally, in February at CES, we will be able to see the first products equipped with ZEN processors. This is not finished, Ming Hao also pointed out that the new ZEN processor is also moving in the same price, the estimated product price will remain at 1500-2000 yuan level, to know that the same level of Intel i7 price is 3,000 yuan the above. For our DIY players, finally no longer need to dig through the windows to find i5-6600K, E3-1230v5 this curve to save the country to configure the computer. It is reported that in the first half of next year, listed on the ZEN Architecture Summit Ridge products include SR7, SR5, SR3, which codenamed SR7 is probably the legendary can reach the i7-6850K that 8 nuclear top products. The low price, high performance, and high cost performance are the combined impressions of the ZEN processor before I actually got the product and ran out the measured data. Intel you really do not panic? In fact, choosing to launch the ZEN processor at this time, AMD must have been researched and planned for quite a long time. It can be said that this is directly targeted at the gap between Intel's 6th generation and 7th generation's upgrade. First of all, after two years of hot gaming, not only is the game hot, but gaming-related hardware, peripherals, and board cards have become very hot. What do we see from the hardware upstream giants represented by Intel and AMD in the past two years? Most users still choose Intel products when they choose products. This aspect is Intel's own product performance advantage. On the one hand, the market share of AMD products in the consumer-grade market is too low, and the market share of poor performance is even lower. AMD is almost in a vicious cycle in the consumer market. The heat of gaming has ended so far, and AMD's processors have almost never benefited. According to the direction of the market, the popularity of e-sports and gaming PC hardware devices will continue until at least 2018, so for the future consumer-grade market, AMD clearly wants to get more. Secondly, at this point in time, Intel is making a transition between the 6th generation Core and the 7th generation Core. Relatively speaking, the 6th generation upgrade of 7th generation basically continued Intel's rushing toothpaste rhythm. It seems that users have become accustomed to this rhythm. So in this section, the ZEN processor with performance improvement of more than 40% and capable of being on an equal footing with the 8-core i7 is undoubtedly very shocking to consumers. On this iteration of the product, the 7th generation of Core Duo is listed on January 5, and if the rumored ZEN processor arrives on January 17, then the two products will be listed on the front and rear legs. This gives Intel's existing users a platform to re-select Opportunity. In the end, I still want to say one, the top product 1500-2000 dollars! This is definitely a shocking price, unless Intel lowers its pricing on top-tier products. Otherwise, from the current situation, the performance and price of the dual-impact factors, but users who have a little understanding of the point product, once reconfiguring the computer or re-election Purchase will jump to choose AMD products. In this case, Intel you really do not panic? AMD's more blooming and Intel's battered Looking at the development of PCs in the past two years, some development directions have led to the rapid development of PCs. This includes the aforementioned e-sports fever, as well as the emerging industries, the booming of big data and artificial intelligence. 1. Emerging industries lead the development of consumer PC hardware: In fact, emerging industries should be said to include gaming and other forms of online gaming, such as design, film and television animation, etc. This is not to say that these industries are entirely new, but because these industries are With strong hardware requirements and facing a new round of hardware changes, these industries have attracted the attention and interest of many giants and OEMs. Many market solutions and product solutions have pointedly targeted these aspects. These areas are considered by industry analysts to be a flashpoint in the consumer sector. And according to the agency's forecast, the demands of gaming and professional fields will continue for some time in the future. 2. Big data, artificial intelligence and other commercial areas: Although these are summarized as simple terms, the hosting of these terms requires a large amount of commercial hardware, including computing infrastructure, high-speed storage construction, and signal distribution (5G). , artificial intelligence, and so on. In particular, today's big data presents an explosive growth in the amount of data, and video and image data have soared under such a situation. The future commercial market demands for servers, depth computing, fast retrieval, fast storage, and 5G signals are obvious. Whoever can seize these things as soon as possible can determine the future. What Intel is doing in the past two years is just such a thing. Some time ago the Intel and NVIDIA in-depth computing and artificial intelligence war of words is also centered on this aspect (because NVIDIA's GPU is an absolute performance advantage for the architecture server facing deep learning and big data computing), you can imagine giants The fierce competition between. In fact, the answer is very obvious. Intel, as the world’s number one IT giant, has technology in all areas, including consumer, commercial, big data infrastructure and definition, and artificial intelligence. Intel needs to work hard to establish Its own industry giant position. To avoid NVIDIA, IBM and even Tesla, Facebook and other emerging giants to seize the market opportunities in the future. So, in the current situation, Intel can be said to be enemies, and there is a lot of trouble inside and out, and it is naturally distracting on the consumer-grade CPU business. In contrast, AMD's development this year, the stock price doubled performance, the new Polaris architecture graphics card cost-effective, selling well, VR cooperation has also been actively carried out. The ZEN architecture processors are ready to go, mainstream home consoles and Apple Macs use AMD's graphics solutions. It can be said that AMD is more flowering in the consumer-grade field. But in the end, AMD's recent success comes from the low starting point. Focusing entirely on the consumer-grade field, the plate is small and does not need to consider the complex pattern of the future like Intel. Naturally, there are fewer things to worry about. So in the short term, it's not hard for AMD to keep up with Intel on the processor. Foreign broke news Intel product line map Because the time to market of AMD's new ZEN architecture processor is very close to the 7th generation Intel Core desktop version, it will begin in January of next year. Q1 will be gradually laid out, taking into account the same architectural advantages of AMD, and AMD’s own capabilities. The dual-card buff (it has to be said that AMD's $5.4 billion purchase of ATI was really good. Under this complex development environment, the role began to show.) Then I have reason to believe that next year's PC market AMD will get more. There will also be a more obvious manifestation of multiple opportunities and share. Foreign AMD products road map Judging from the roadmap currently exposed, both parties have already laid out their next-generation products. The specific plan of AMD is that ZEN Raven Ridge will come along with Summit Ridge in 2017. The revolutionary ZEN+ will be launched in 2019. The Intel 7-generation Core will be updated in the next year, and the Cannon Lake used to attack ZEN+ will arrive in 2018. Interestingly, ZEN+ will jump directly from 14nm to 7nm, and Intel’s generations of products including Coffee Lake, Cannon Lake, Ice Lake, and Tiger Lake will continue to be 10nm before 2020. Accurate, or Intel's self-reliance, self-slow the processor's energy input, which we need to further observe the future. airpods case airpods case Guangzhou Ysure Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. , https://www.ysurecase.com
