SiSoft Sandra benchmark results were spotted online for one of AMD's upcoming Zen CPU architecture. The Naples is the company's given name for its upcoming SoC server platform and the results show the capability of this 64-core, 128-thread monster.
The tech savvy Dressdenboy, from NewCitaviaBlog, first saw the test results. SiSoftware eventually pulled down some of the pages, but thanks to high-resolution screen shots, the tech community was not deprived of the information, especially its complete product string, which is "4x AMD Diesel Platform, 2S145A4VIHE4_29/14_N, 16 C."
The aforementioned CPU is designated as the "4x AMD Eng Sample" and has a base clock of 1.44 GHz and a turbo clock of 2.9 GHz, based in the "29/14" of its product string. The "2S" denotes a dual socket, which means that it comes with 32 core processors.
The result showed a multi-media score of 643.37 Mpix/s, processor cryptography result of 0.17GB/s and a memory bandwidth of 0.31Gb/s. Its PCI bandwidth speed is shown as 310 MB/s. The benchmark test also revealed 4 dies with 64 cores, as well as 4 clusters of 8 MB shared L3 and 16 clusters of 512 KB L2. The upcoming chip has a speed efficiency of 46.35kOPTS/GHz.
Since this is an engineering sample, it is safe to say that it is still not producing the performance that it should produce considering that it is a 64-core chip. Its new abilities are still undetectable by the benchmark test, WCCFTech added
A few months back, another processor, with a product sting code of 2S1451A4VIHE4_29/14_N, that also belongs to the Naples SoC product line surfaced on the Geekbench database. The chip features 32 Zen Cores per CPU that also clocked at 1.44 GHz base and 2.0 GHz boost. It also scored 15,620 for multi-core and 1,141 for single=core tests. However, the result page is no longer available.
AMD is confident that their new Zen and other next-generation products, which will be available starting next year, will be a big competitor for Intel products that have dominated the market for quite a time.
