AMD Zen CPU engineering sample specifications leak
The specification of some of AMD's early Zen Silicon have been leaked online, with a quad-core and octo-core variants for the AM4 socket and 24 and 32 core CPUs for the server markets.
These engineering samples are set as revision A0, making these the first set of engineering samples to leave AMD if these leaks are correct. The 4-core variant is set to have a TDP of 65W and the 8-core variant is set to have a TDP of 95W with clock speeds of 2.8GHz to 3.2GHz. These CPUs will throttle down to 550MHz at idle allowing these CPUs to draw as little as 2.5-5W at idle.
Typically early engineering samples of CPUs will come at lower clock speeds than their final retail counterparts, meaning that it is likely that AMD's Zen CPUs will run at higher clock speeds when it releases.
Right now it looks like AMD's Zen CPUs will be hitting the market in late 2016 or early 2017.
