So basically we can expect Zen in November/December 2016? Seems really late. Hopefully the architecture delivers what they are promising.
I just wish this could mean that AMD are back in bussiness. Let's hope their next CPU arch doesn't $uck too much compared to intel. We need them back and stronger then ever. Intel is milking everyone and they don't even bother trying hard with their new generations of CPUs as there is simply no competition..
Southern Islands is being manufactured by TSMC on 16nm according to the latest rumors. That will probably come Q2/Q3.
The first thought that came to mind was this could be for the codenamed Nintendo nx system. Is that to far fetched? Is it possible this could be linked to the nx ?
Oh awesome. I guess they will move some of the gpu production to glofo once the production is going good. My next upgrade will be southern islands or pascal so around a year to wait!
Man do I HOPE this is some good news for Amd and us, I almost gave up hope on Amd pulling through on anything better then they currently have on the market.
