AMD's IPC war heats up as Zen 3 reportedly deliver staggering performance uplifts

Combine this with higher clocks, and AMD's onto another winner.



Read more about AMD's rumoured Zen 3 IPC improvements.

placing AMD in a strong position as we move into 2019.

2020 ?

I hope they can do this on X570

2020 was a hugely successful year for AMD

F#*! I over slept
Looks like someone is getting tired lol

Back to the topic, I do hope that we haven't seen corners cut that will enable spectre/zombie load type exploits down the line due to unifying the caches.
But good news all round if the the ipc gains are true, even without clock bumps

Let the awkward "what year is it" madness begin. I'm just a few days ahead of the curve.

I don't think the unified cache will do anything like that. Such an exploit would make any Ryzen CPU with L3 cache risky. Each core can already read all of the L3 cache on its die, it's just that the cache for the other CCX requires a larger latency jump to read.

As far as security goes, I'd hope that AMD knows what to look for now and design their processors to avoid these issues, that said, you can't make everything perfectly.

They've already done a great job of building secure architectures already so far. I don't expect a decrease in security.
