AMD Zen
Realizes: Revives AMD desktop and server x86 compute by pairing SMT, chiplet modularity, and Infinity Fabric with SenseMI adaptivity to deliver high-IPC throughput.
The 2017 Zen architecture organizes 14nm FinFET chiplets into 8-core CCXs with SenseMI telemetry, simultaneous multithreading, and Infinity Fabric links to the I/O die, delivering responsive general-purpose compute.
