Zen+ will feature the same core as Zen but will take advantage of the new [[GlobalFoundries]]' 12nm process to deliver higher clock speeds and improved power consumption. Zen+ was initially mentioned by AMD's senior fellow and lead architect of Zen, Michael Clark, during Hot Chips 28 in [[2016]] as part of AMD's continuing commitment in the high-performance computing market. |

The enhanced process is set to provide as much as 15% higher density and 10% higher performance. 12LP brings around a 10% frequency bump for the {{amd|Ryzen}} lineup at the same power envelopes. |

But drivers must be integrated into the installation image or installed first before switching to a zen based system. Otherwise support for any kind of USB device like keyboard and mouse would be missing. |

In fact all Zen-based microprocessors (including {{amd|EPYC}}, {{amd|Ryzen Threadripper}}, and Zen-based APUs) have an L2 latency of 12 cycles for all patterns. Only mainstream Zen-based {{amd|Ryzen}} processors (i.e., {{amd|Summit Ridge|l=core}}) have a latency of 17 cycles. The problem has been sorted out with Zen+. |
