A presentation slide recently surfaced at an AMD investor's meeting and it shows the comparative performance between the company's highly-anticipated Zen processors and some earlier generation chips also from AMD. Based on the slides, it appears that the Summit Ridge processor performs almost twice as powerful as the Orichi processor.

Summit Ridge CPUs will include the upcoming AMD Zen processors while Orochi is the codename for the AMD FX 8350 processor, according to WCCFTech.

If the graphs provided by the slides are close to what AMD Zen can deliver in real-world applications, the processor will rival the eight-core Core i7 5960X processor from Intel. Although the graphs reveal some very interesting insights about AMD's upcoming Zen CPU, some tech analysts claim that it should be taken with a grain of salt until the actual processor is released and proper benchmarks are made and validated.

Speaking of the AMD Zen processor, some reports claim that AMD may have inadvertently reveled a wafer shot of the eight-core Summit Ridge during the company's shareholders' meeting which took place earlier this month.

A closer inspection of the wafer shot and many analysts suggest that each AMD Zen module will be composed of the following: four cores, an L3 cache located at the center, and a DDR4 interface situated on the top, with the South Bridge located on the top right part. Some analysts also speculate that on the bottom right part of the chip is the Global Memory Interconnect, which will handle chip-to-chip communication, according to Hexus.

AMD is set to release its Zen CPUs later this year, along with the equally anticipated Polaris graphics processing units. Before the big date, AMD is also scheduled to launch its seventh generation AMD A-Series Processors at the Computex Conference next week.
