Insider Q&A: Peak Computing Power and Performance

Design engineers have seen their workflows evolve to include more rapid design iterations, more frequent use of simulation, more complex modeling, and more rapid visualization and rendering. As a result, there has been demand for more powerful engineering workstations and compute resources, and the AMD “Zen” core architecture has been a key component in enabling these workflows.

Digital Engineering spoke to Chris Hall, Director of Software Performance Engineering at AMD about the development of the “Zen” core architecture, and how the latest AMD CPUs, like the recently announced AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO 5000 WX-Series processors, continue to move the goalposts on CPU efficiency and performance.
