AMD Naples

AMD Naples is the server processor.

The AMD Naples processor is created on 14-nanometer FinFET technology on production GlobalFoundries. On one crystal eight cores are created. Models with 16 and 32 cores are created by a set in the uniform LGA SP3 body of two or four crystals respectively. Data exchange between cores provides the AMD Coherent Fabric connection with capacity of 100 GB / page.

The processor is equipped with the eight-channel controller of memory. About 128 PCIe 3.0 lines work. Support up to 32 drives SATA or NVMe is provided.

2016: AMD was shown by Naples

On August 19, 2016 the AMD company announced some details architecture and showed results of performance tests of the main cores of Zen. In San Francisco showed to AMD growth of number of instructions for one clock period for 40% on cores of "Zen" that provides a processor capacity gain.

Showed to AMD on public the server processor code-named Naples, with 32 cores and 64 flows of Zen. It was provided in a dual-processor server configuration running Windows Server OS.

Performance and efficiency of cores of Zen shows the best sides of AMD. For the last four years we made considerable investments to reach high performance and to create several generations of processors for use in the advanced products. The enthusiasm of customers in relation to Zen continues to grow as we achieve considerable results as approaching start of products which can be used in any environment – from DPC to high-performance PCs. Liza Suu, the president and the CEO in AMD

Computing cores of Zen have a number of architectural improvements which allow to increase performance, capacity and efficiency of the perspective products AMD. The chip has the updated hierarchy a cache memory, the improved prediction functions of transitions and support of simultaneous multithreading (SMT). These functions will allow cores of Zen to work in different conditions - from the built-in decisions and systems 2 in 1 without active cooling to high-performance PCs and DPC.
