The AMD Jaguar Family 16h is a low-power microarchitecture designed by AMD. It is used in APUs succeeding the Bobcat Family microarchitecture in 2013 and being succeeded by AMD's Puma architecture in 2014. It is two-way superscalar and capable of out-of-order execution. It is used in AMD's Semi-Custom Business Unit as a design for custom processors and is used by AMD in four product families: Kabini aimed at notebooks and mini PCs, Temash aimed at tablets, Kyoto aimed at micro-servers, and the G-Series aimed at embedded applications. Both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One use chips based on the Jaguar microarchitecture, with more powerful GPUs than AMD sells in its own commercially available Jaguar APUs.[2]
Design

- 32 KiB instruction + 32 KiB data L1 cache per core, L1 cache includes parity error detection
 - 16-way, 1–2 MiB unified L2 cache shared by two or four cores, L2 cache is protected from errors by the use of error correcting code
 - Out-of-order execution and speculative execution
 - Integrated memory controller
 - Two-way integer execution
 - Two-way 128-bit wide floating-point and packed integer execution
 - Integer hardware divider
 - Consumer processors support two DDR3L DIMMs in one channel at frequencies up to 1600 MHz[3]
 - Server processors support two DDR3 DIMMs in one channel at frequencies up to 1600 MHz with ECC[4]
 - As a SoC (not just an APU) it integrates Fusion controller hub
 - Jaguar does not feature clustered multi-thread (CMT), meaning that execution resources are not shared between cores
 
Instruction-set support
The Jaguar core has support for the following instruction sets and instructions: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4a, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, F16C, CLMUL, AES, BMI1, MOVBE (Move Big-Endian instruction), XSAVE/XSAVEOPT, ABM (POPCNT/LZCNT), and AMD-V.[1]
Improvements over Bobcat
- Over 10% increase in clock frequency[5]
 - Over 15% improvement in instructions per clock (IPC)[5]
 - Added support for SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AES, CLMUL, MOVBE, AVX, F16C, BMI1[5]
 - Up to four CPU cores
 - L2 cache is shared between cores
 - FPU datapath width increased to 128-bit[5]
 - Added hardware integer divider
 - Enhanced cache prefetchers
 - Doubled bandwidth of load–store units
 - C6 and CC6 low power states with lower entry and exit latency[5]
 - Smaller, 3.1 mm2 area per core
 - Integrated Fusion controller hub (FCH)
 - Video Coding Engine

Jaguar derivative and successor
In 2017, a derivative of the Jaguar microarchitecture was announced in the APU of Microsoft's Xbox One X (Project Scorpio) revision to the Xbox One.[26] The Project Scorpio APU is described as a 'customized' derivative of the Jaguar microarchitecture, utilizing eight cores clocked at 2.3 GHz.[27][28]
The Puma successor to Jaguar was released in 2014 and targeting entry level notebooks and tablets.[29]
