bp9801 Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 AMD has been previously rumored to be working on a 16 core APU, but a new rumor is doubling that core count for the server market. The Opteron CPU would pack 32 Zen cores and, being a server part, would not need a Greenland GPU along for the ride. It seems that stripping out the GPU component allows for double the cores. Each core apparently will have 512KB of L2 cache and every four cores share 8MB of L3 cache. The CPU would have eight clusters of four cores each, with support for secure boot, cryptographic co-processing, and eight DDR4 memory channels. Each channel would support 256GB of RAM, so that means 2TB in total is possible. The 32 core model should sit at the top, with fewer cores available as you get further down the line, based on what your server needs. Again, this is all just rumor, with the 32 core Opteron not likely to arrive until sometime next year. Once we have some confirmation on this and any other AMD part in the works, you can be sure to find it here. Source: WCCFtech Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjloki Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 that's sounding amazing, but have you seen AMD's stock prices lately ? $2.30 per share, pfft ridiculous...they're gonna have to come up with something better than that to bring some value to the company...if it goes much lower HP, Qualcom, or Broadcom, hell maybe even Samsung is gonna scoop 'em up...
