AMD has added support for its future processors based on the Zen 5 microarchitecture to the GCC compiler. Znver5 is now a target in the GCC Git repository until the stable release of GCC 14.1. This step ensures that developers will have the necessary compiler support for Ryzen and EPYC processors based on Zen 5 before their release later this year.
In February, AMD announced the addition of the Zen 5 target to the GCC compiler, introducing new instructions such as AVXVNNI, MOVDIRI, MOVDIR64B, AVX512VP2INTERSECT, and PREFETCHI. These enhancements build on the capabilities of previous Zen 4-based processors, offering improved performance and efficiency for AMD's future processors for client computers and data center computers.
Including Zen 5 support in the GCC compiler before the release of any product is a natural step for AMD, as the company wants software developers to be prepared for the arrival of its next-generation devices. Adding the znver5 target to GCC allows software developers to optimize, fine-tune, and fully utilize the capabilities of the new processors in their programs. As a result, software will be able to fully leverage the potential of Zen 5-based systems from day one.
Currently, a Zen 4 table is used in GCC to support Zen 5, but it is expected that AMD will provide additional optimizations and improvements in future updates. This will further enhance the compiler's ability to take full advantage of Zen 5 capabilities.
AMD is expected to release its Ryzen and EPYC processors based on the Zen 5 architecture later this year. Some of these chips will be manufactured using TSMC's 3nm process technology, while others will rely on 4nm manufacturing technology. Processors based on Zen 5 are expected to significantly increase performance in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads.
