So far, the leaks we’ve gotten have pointed to Zen clocking about 3.6 Ghz max for their ES chips. If this is the 8 core variant, this means AMD has managed to pass Ivy Bridge in terms of IPC. This is somewhat expected as AMD previously showed an 8 core 16 thread Zen chip in Blender beating out an 8 core 16 thread Broadwell-E chip at the same clock speed. This new leak adds extra credence to AMD’s claims about 40% IPC uplift compared to Excavator.
