AMD confirms all-new architecture for Zen 3 EPYC Milan CPUs and huge IPC gains

Zen 3 will feature an all-new architecture, rather than being a further refinement of Zen 2 and Zen/Zen+ that came before it. With that should come some nice improve in instructions per clock (IPC). AMD was able to eke out a roughly 15 percent uplift in IPC performance going from Zen/Zen+ to Zen 2, which is to be expected with the die shrink from 14nm/12nm to 7nm and evolutionary improvements to the architecture. But with a completely new architecture under the hood, coupled with TSMC's refined 7nm+ process node, we could see an even bigger jump in performance with Zen 3. Single-threaded performance was a sticking point for earlier Zen and Zen+ processors, but Zen 2 has allowed AMD to close the gap significantly with Intel. With Zen 3, we're hoping that the all-new architecture will make any concerns about single-threaded performance a thing of the past for AMD's processors.
