The Zeppelin and Vega 10 based MCM will feature 4 GMIs or Global Memory Interconnects (which constitute the Coherent Data Fabric I suppose) allowing the CPU to converse with the GPU at 100GB/s. The MCM itself will talk to the RAM at 100 GB/s as well – allowing for a very HSA friendly environment and minimum bottleneck throughout the whole process. Each Zen core will be capable of running two threads (thanks to the company’s shift to Simultaneous Multi-Threading). The processor is thought to have 4 DDR4 channels with a capacity of 256GB per channel.
What we do know for sure (thanks to a published research paper by AMD) is that the Zeppelin EHP variant will utilize the next generation Vega 10 graphics, although the exact core count remains unknown. The diagram published by AMD points towards the MCM divided into two compute and one graphic portions, which are manufactured separately and put together on the interposer later on in assembly (possibly at UMC’s Fab 12 foundry in Singapore, which is already used to assemble Fiji dies). So basically, AMD is fabricating the compute side of the Scale Heterogeneous Processor (EHP) in dies with 16 Zen cores each (4 core complexes), for a total of 2 computing and 1 graphics die assembled on the interposer (ignoring the HBM).

This is the second major milestone that we’ve heard about concerning Zen’s development The first being the tape out of the Zen core / microarchitecture back in 2015 and the second being the tape out of the eight core Zen based SOC in January. This means that not only has the core design been finalized, but development of the first product chip with Zen cores has been completed. This is the eight core 95W Zen SOC which will be coming to the desktop later in the year. AMD has several other Zen based SOCs – systems on a chip – in development. A 32 Core Zen server CPU, a sixteen core Zen HPC APU and a quadcore Zen consumer APU. All of which should be taped out sometime later this year.
The desktop FX CPUs allegedly feature a 95W TDP and eight high performance Zen cores with multi-threading for a total of 16 threads. Zen is said to have extremely competitive single threaded performance according to engineers with knowledge of the chip. Citing more instructions per clock than Intel’s Broadwell and just a smidgen behind Skylake. The 95W TDP if accurate indicates that indeed we’re looking at a very power efficient design. In contrast, Intel’s eight core i7 5960X is rated at 140 watts but then again we’re comparing a 14nm FinFET product with a 22nm chip so a delta is to be expected.

Dubs, I totally understand your point, but at this stage, the only thing that will stop the NSA is policy.
Even if not a single person bought an Intel or AMD processor ever again, for the publicly stated reason that they were anti-surveillance, would it even make the NSA consider halting surveillance for even a moment.
