Succession

Zen 4 is a microarchitecture developed by AMD as a successor to Zen 3. See press release for details: AMD Launches Ryzen 7000 Series Desktop Processors

History[edit]

Zen 4 on the roadmap.

Zen 4 was first mentioned by Forrest Norrod during AMD's EPYC One Year Anniversary webinar. During the next horizon event which was held on November 6, 2018, AMD stated that Zen 4 was at the design completion phase.

Process Technology[edit]

Processors implementing Zen 4 are SoCs configured as a Multi-Chip Module or monolithic chip. MCMs consist of a single I/O die and up to 12 Core Complex Dies attached with full-duplex serial point-to-point links. The IOD contains memory controllers, I/O controllers, microcontrollers for security purposes and power management, and other peripherals. The CCDs communicate with peripherals and each other through the Data and Control Fabrics on the I/O die, and each contain a single Core Complex (CCX). The monolithic chips integrate a subset of the IOD facilities and additional peripherals tailored for their target market, a CCX, and a GPU. A CCX contains 8 CPU cores (fewer may be usable on some models) communicating through a shared L3 cache.

("Bergamo" processors configuration TBD.)

The chips are fabricated by TSMC, CCDs and monolithic chips on a 5 nm node, IODs on a 6 nm node.

Architecture[edit]

Zen 4 is a 64-bit superscalar, out-of-order, 2-way SMT microarchitecture with advanced dynamic branch prediction, 4-way decoding of x86 instructions with a stack optimizer, multiple caches including an Op cache for decoded instructions and prefetchers for code and data, four integer/address and two floating point instruction schedulers, 3-way address generation, 5-way integer execution. 4-way 256-bit wide floating point execution, a speculative, out-of-order load/store unit capable of up to three loads or two stores per cycle with a 48/88-entry load and 64-entry store queue, write-combining, and 5-level paging with four TLBs and six hardware page table walkers.

Key changes from Zen 3[edit]

  • AVX-512 instructions support, 256-bit data path[1]
  • L1 and L2 DTLB size increased from 64 to 72 and 2,048 to 3,072 entries
  • Op cache size increased from 4,096 to 6,912 Ops per core
  • L2 cache doubled from 512 KiB to 1 MiB per core (not all processor models), latency increased from 12 to 14 cycles minimum
  • L3 cache average load-to-use latency increased from 46 to 50 cycles
  • Five-level paging; Max. physical and linear address size raised from 48 to 52 and 57 bits respectively
  • Improved cache load, write and prefetch from/to register (less latency)
  • Higher Transistor Density, due to 5nm process
  • Capable of higher all-core clockspeeds (shown by AMD to reach 5GHz+ on all cores)
  • Larger integer register file (from 192 to 224), floating-point register file (from 160 to 192) and reorder buffer (from 256 to 320 entries)
  • REPE CMPSB (sometimes used to implement string comparison) is significantly sped up, processes more than 32 bytes/cycle when operating on L1 data.
  • BSF, BSR, and BMI1 instructions BLSI, BLSMSK, BLSR, TZCNT have smaller latency of 1 and x2 throughput (4 insn/cycle).
  • Latency and/or throughput of VPERMx, V[P]BROADCASTx, VPMOV{S,Z}Xx instructions improved.
  • Some ALU operations on vector registers increased throughput from 2 to 3 ops/cycle.
  • Some ALU operations on vector registers (VPABSx,VPHADDx,VPHSUBx,VPSLLx,VPSRLx,VPSRAx,VPACKx,VPSIGNx,VMAXx,VMINx) increased latency by 1 cycle.


Package level changes:

  • EPYC 9004 "Genoa": Max. core/thread count 96/192, up from 64/128 on EPYC 7003 "Milan"
  • EPYC "Bergamo": Max. 128 cores but preliminary data shows a slightly altered architecture featuring cores that take up less space
  • Support for DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen 5
  • New sockets AM5 (client), SP5 and SP6 (server), FP7/FP7r2 (mobile)
  • APUs: RDNA2-based iGPU with 2 compute units (128 stream processors)

New Instructions[edit]

Zen 4 introduced the following ISA enhancements:

Memory Hierarchy[edit]

  • L0 Op Cache:
    • Up to 6,912 Ops per core, 12-way set associative
    • 9 Op line size (restrictions apply depending on instruction type)
    • Parity protected
  • L1I Cache:
    • 32 KiB per core, 8-way set associative
    • 64 B line size
    • Parity protected
  • L1D Cache:
    • 32 KiB per core, 8-way set associative
    • 64 B line size
    • Write-back policy

    • 64 B line size
    • Write-back policy
    • Inclusive of L1
    • ≥ 14 cycles latency
    • DEC-TED ECC, tag & state arrays SEC-DED
  • L3 Cache:
    • "Genoa": up to 32 MiB/CCX (8 cores), up to 384 MiB total
    • Shared by all cores in the CCX, configurable
    • 16-way set associative
    • 64 B line size
    • L2 victim cache
    • Write-back policy
    • 50 cycles average load-to-use latency
    • DEC-TED ECC, tag array & shadow tags SEC-DED
    • QoS Monitoring and Enforcement with BMEC, L3RR, L3SBE

Translation Lookaside Buffers[edit]

  • ITLB
    • 64 entry L1 TLB, fully associative
      • 4-Kbyte, 2-Mbyte, 1-Gbyte page sizes
    • 512 entry L2 TLB, 8-way set associative
      • 4-Kbyte, 2-Mbyte, and 4-Mbyte pages
    • Parity protected
  • DTLB
    • 72 entry L1 TLB, fully associative
      • 4-Kbyte, 16-Kbyte, 2-Mbyte, 1-Gbyte page sizes
    • 3,072 entry L2 TLB, 24-way set associative
      • 4-Kbyte, 16-Kbyte, 2-Mbyte, and 4-Mbyte pages, PDEs to speed up table walks
    • Parity protected

4-Mbyte pages require two 2-Mbyte entries in all TLBs. 16-Kbyte page size refers to PTE coalescing of four physically consecutive and 16-Kbyte aligned 4-Kbyte pages. All caches and TLBs are competitively shared in multi-threaded mode.

System DRAM[edit]

  • Ryzen 7000 "Raphael":
    • Up to PC5-41600 (DDR5-5200) without overclocking
  • EPYC 9004 "Genoa":
    • 12 channels per socket, two 40-bit (32 data, 8 ECC) DDR5 subchannels per channel
    • Up to 24 DIMMs, max. 6 TiB
    • Up to PC5-38400 (DDR5-4800)
    • SR/DR RDIMM, 4R/8R LRDIMM, 3DS DIMM
