− | + | At a very broad view, Zen shares some similarities with its predecessor but introduces new elements and major changes. Each core is composed of a front end ([[in-order]] area) that fetches instructions, decodes them, generates [[µOPs]] and [[fused µOPs]], and sends them to the Execution Engine ([[out-of-order]] section). Instructions are either fetched from the [[L1I$]] or come from the µOPs cache (on subsequent fetches) eliminating the decoding stage altogether. Zen decodes 4 instructions/cycle into the µOP Queue. The µOP Queue dispatches separate µOPs to the Integer side and the FP side (dispatching to both at the same time when possible). | |
