Esikhathini esithile esidlule, izindaba zakhishwa mayelana neminye imikhondo yokusebenza kwe Ukwakhiwa kobuchwepheshe be-AMD Zen sibonga ikhodi enikezwe ku-Linux kernel ukuyisekela. Futhi ukuthi iZen ivusa intshisekelo enkulu ngoba kwa-AMD benze umzamo ongaphezu kowomuntu, bakhansela yonke imisebenzi abebeyihlelile futhi bagxila emizameni yabo kwiZen, befunda emaphutheni ezakhiwo ezincanyana zangaphambilini. Okwamanje, kulinganiselwa ukuthi inokuthuthuka okungama-40% ku-IPS ngokuqhathaniswa nokwakhiwa kwamanje okuncane.
I-AMD inenhloso yokubuyela kulokho eyayiyikho futhi imelane ne-Intel futhi uthole isabelo semakethe sezikhathi zaso ezinhle kakhulu. Ngalokho, kuye kwafunwa umlingani onamandla amakhulu, i-Samsung, amafektri ayo ahamba phambili kakhulu futhi azohlinzeka ngobuchwepheshe bokukhiqiza be-14nm FinFET (into i-Intel ehlulekayo muva nje futhi ephoqeleke ukubambezela nokumisa amaphrojekthi ngenxa yezinkinga ezikhiqizwayo ubuchwepheshe). Ngokwengeziwe, i-AMD iqashe izingqondo ezithile ezishisayo zokuthi uLisa Su ubuyele enkampanini eluhlaza ngemuva kokulahlekelwa yibo esikhathini esedlule, ngaphezu kwabanye ochwepheshe abasezingeni eliphakeme.
Inkampani ihlelwe kabusha Futhi esikhundleni sokusebenza njengokuphindwe kashumi usayizi wayo wangempela, njengakuqala, manje ususebenza njengebhizinisi elincane futhi elisheshayo. Futhi izingqondo engikhuluma ngazo zisinda kakhulu, njengoRaja Koduri, isazi se-GPU eshiye i-AMD ye-Apple futhi manje isibuyile. UMark Papermaster ubuye wasebenzela i-Apple, IBM ne-PA Semi, esebenza kumaphrojekthi afana ne-PowerPC microprocessor noma i-POWER enamandla, manje naye ujoyina i-AMD. Kepha u-icing on ikhekhe nguJim Keller (ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule waqashwa ngu-Elon Musk weTesla Motor), naye owaya kwa-Apple ukuhola ama-ARM Ax Series SoCs futhi kunabantu abambalwa abazi kakhulu ngama-chips asebenza kahle njengo UKeller.
Kungakho iZen kufanele ibe yimpumelelo futhi lokho kungukuthi manje sesibonile idatha evela kumakholi angama-32 iZen ezofinyelela kuwo, njenge igama lekhodi uZeppelin emlayezweni "I-AMD Zeppelin (Umndeni 17h, Imodeli 00h) wethula imiyalo esetshenziswayo esiphikisayo esiphikisayo ekhonjiswe yiCPUID.8000_0008H: EBX [1]. Futhi ama-Instructions Register Retired Register (MSR 0xC000_000E9) angeziwe kanye kanye kuyo yonke imiyalo ethathe umhlalaphansi.«. Futhi i-patch elandelayo inikezwe i-Linux kernel, lapho kubonakala khona i- "core_complex" futhi engabhekisa ku-Compute Unit ye-AMD:
+core_complex_ide = (apicid & ((1 << c->x86_coreid_bits) - 1)) >> 3; +per_cpu(cpu_llc_id, cpu) = (socket_id << 3) | core_complex_id;
