Session 2 Overview: Digital Processors
2023
In Paper 2.1, AMD highlights a 5.7GHz "Zen 4" 8-core complex fabricated in a 5nm FinFET process, occupying 55mm 2 .13% IPC improvement is accomplished through architectural enhancements including increased structure sizes and conflict reduction.This coupled with physical design innovations including V th management, selective path tuning and intelligent power grid optimization drives a 6% reduction in switching capacitance, 16% increase in frequency, and an F MAX of 5.7GHz.Over 30% increase in isopower performance vs. the prior generation in desktop products is demonstrated.
