AMD focuses on Zen X86 this year

K12 ARM future unconfirmed

We're not sure if many people caught the fact that in last week's financial analyst update, AMD didn’t mention anything about the K12 and future ARM server products. We reached out and asked it for a comment.

We were puzzled by the fact that Forrest Norrod SVP and general manager, Enterprise, embedded and semi-custom business group didn’t talk about ARM based server products.

AMD had a K12 ARM based SoC that it simply stopped mentioning a while ago. Back in late 2015 we wrote a piece stating that sources close to the matter claimed that Jim Keller, a chief architect of X86 Zen architecture was not a big fan of K12. Last year, AMD said that the focus is on the Zen core and that K12 will be delayed.
