AMD's CTO Mark Papermaster just left the stage at AMD's 2015 Financial Analyst Day, and one of the first things he covered was AMD's CPU technology roadmap for the next couple of years.

The big question on everyone's mind over the last year has been AMD's forthcoming x86 Zen CPU, developed by Jim Keller's group, and Papermaster did not disappoint, opting to address the future of AMD's x86 plans first and foremost. AMD is not releasing the complete details on Zen until closer to its launch in 2016, but today they are providing some basic details on the CPU's abilities and their schedule for it.
