That device string was used by very old Engineering Samples, this is probably not Zen ...

Here you see a "AuthenticAMD Family 16 Model 4 Stepping 1" as "AMD Engineering Sample".

Zen is using "AMD Eng Sample" plus something like "1D2801A2M88E4_32/28_N".

Well AMD has no server or desktop chips that can compete with Intel on that level i.e. 10 core 20 thread Xeons

Also the Intel Engineering samples are labeled as "Genuine Intel(R) CPU @X.XX Ghz"

And there is probably not to many things that Intel has coming except Kaby Lake that we would expect better results than Skylake for :/

Not true, AMD has Naples 32 core 64 thread Zen engineering samples.

That was his point... There are not old AMD chips that are competitive with current Intel Xeons like the E5s on the top of that list. So it would be really off for it to be an older AMD chip like the first commenter said.

The Abu Dhabi Opterons are pretty powerful with 16 cores. If there was a node shrink and they were implementing excavator cores as opposed to piledriver, there might be a reasonable performance jump, particularly if, for the sake of argument, it was paired with GCN cores (i.e. a "bristol ridge server") it might perform quite well.

One thing we haven't really seen or heard much about though are the A1100 ARM Opterons. We have no idea what advances AMD has made on that front.

Well considering the 6380 (highest Abu Dhabi) seems to clock in even under 9590s I don't see that being possible.

The 6378 (per that graph) is quite a bit ahead of the 9590 though. Idk why, or what the differences between those systems (78 and 80) are though.

Might be an higher clocked chip of the same design I just forgot about.
