AMD releases the first arm eight processor code Seatle

As early as 2012, AMD announced plans to launch an arm-based server processor in 2014, according to foreign media reports. AMD is taking a big step forward, officially releasing eight-core ARM server processors by the end of the first month of 2014 and starting shipments in March. AMD is about to launch the ARM server processor code-named "Seattle", is its plan to launch a series of Opteron A, which will be "Opteron A1100" in the name of the city. Its manufacturing process uses GlobalFoundries 28nm, based on the 64-bit ARM cortex-a57 architecture, has 4 or 8 cores (the former is shielded), the frequency can exceed 2GHz. Cache, the level two cache up to 4MB, three cache capacity of up to 8MB, all core sharing to achieve integration. The memory controller uses Dual-channel dual channel technology, supports DDR3, DDR4, the maximum capacity of up to 128GB. The processor also contains a number of connections, integrated with the PCI 3.0 Bus Controller, 8 SATA 3 channels, and 10GbE Gigabit Ethernet ports. The chip is designed with SOC chip and has the encryption compression engine. The entire processor uses 25W of power. AMD has shown great ambition in the ARM server processor area. AMD claims that the ARM architecture will occupy 25% of the server market in 2019, while AMD will be the leading manufacturer of ARM processors and servers. However, it is too early to conclude that AMD can become the core force in the server industry. Calxeda is a super high-density, Low-power arm server leader, despite tens of millions of dollars and cooperation with HP, but still announced the closure in late 2013.
