  AMD's CTO Talks to TheStreet About Next Gen Chips and Keeping Up With Rivals
  During a talk with TheStreet, CTO Mark Papermaster discussed AMD's plans for rolling out its third-generation Ryzen PC CPUs, as well as his thoughts on chip technologies deployed by AMD and its rivals.

  #1. megjelenés - mint a ZEN1 -nél

  "During our talk, Papermaster indicated that AMD's launch progression for 7nm Ryzen CPUs will be similar to the one it saw for its first-gen, 14nm, Ryzen CPUs, in 2017, with high-end desktop chips followed by cheaper desktop offerings, powerful Ryzen Threadripper CPUs for enthusiasts and workstation users and Ryzen Mobile notebook processors."

  #2. 7nm mobil

  "Papermaster declined to say whether this will be the case. But he did suggest that AMD is looking to launch third-gen Ryzen Mobile in 2020, a point in time when 7nm+ volume production should be well underway. "If you look at the [product launch] cycle, next year would be a natural time for that migration," he said. "We'll have more details on that as we get closer to that time.""

  #3. Gaming - single thread

  "Papermaster said AMD is mindful of the single-threaded performance gap that has remained for Ryzen, and promised his company will deliver "very exciting gains" in this area while maintaining its multi-threaded performance lead. "What you will see with our third-generation Ryzen really is simply outstanding gaming performance," he declared."

  #4. chip-packaging
  "When asked whether AMD, which has unveiled plans to use a 2D "chiplet" packaging architecture for 7nm desktop and server CPUs, could deploy something like Foveros, Papermaster didn't rule out the possibility. But he also insisted AMD is comfortable with its decision to go in a different direction in the near-term.

  "For CPUs, we looked at the analysis of a 3D stack versus a planar [2D] integration of those chiplets. It's always an individual optimization for the use case," he said, while adding there's "a constant re-evaluation at every generation" regarding which direction to go in."

  #5. Big.Little core

  "Likewise, Papermaster insisted there's no need for AMD to create CPUs featuring cores of different sizes in most of its markets, particularly since it can prevent cores from drawing power when they aren't being used.

  "It's a constant debate, does the Big.Little core really make sense?...On applications like a smartphone, I don't think there's any debate, because you have many, many maintenance tasks that can be offloaded to the little cores. But in most of our markets, it's not clear that there's benefit for the little cores," he said."

  #6.AMD's Views on ARM Server CPUs

  "When asked about his thoughts on ARM in the data center, Papermaster stated AMD "looked hard at ARM" and decided -- given that ARM's software ecosystem was still immature -- it made sense for AMD to direct its attention towards launching high-performance x86 products. At the same time, he admitted that ARM-based server CPUs will continue providing competition.

  "ARM will progress, ARM will build out an ecosystem," he said. "We don't see that there's a huge difference in performance per watt between one instruction set offering and another, we think they're within a few percent. It's just that there will be a more and more competitive environment over time...to us that just makes a more robust market out there and I think that's good for the industry. It keeps everyone on their toes.""
