It wasn't a Zen variant; but the K12 was intended to be AMD's custom ARM uArch aimed at the server space. So there's a good chance it would have been focused on performance over power efficiency.

Power efficiency is an issue in the datacenter as well as you have to get that heat out, which also takes power.

I said over, as in relative to other ARM uArchs. Clearly, the power efficiency was the main draw of the proposal in the first place.
