AMD near future will push 9 ” Shanghai ” server CPU
October 6, 2008
[dispatch of Sai Di net] on October 5 message, AMD says to server manufacturer it is in future will roll out 9 code name to be in a few months ” Shanghai ” server chip. Chip of wh some of which will be in next year roll out first quarter. AMD plans to roll out a series of power consumption to be the chip of 55W above all, be in next next year the chip that rolls out more power consumption to be 55W again first quarter and the chip that a series of power consumption are 105 tile.
AMD should eliminate Barcelona chip to give client and server manufacturer brought undesirable impression, and promise should make Shanghai chip has great performance to rise than Barcelona. Promise of AMD official Patrick Patla says, compare with Barcelona chip photograph, the function of Shanghai chip will rise 35% , energy efficiency will rise 35% . These numbers reflected basic function and clock rate rise. In clock speed same situation falls, the performance of Shanghai chip will be higher than Barcelona chip function 20% .
According to media coverage, the kernel frequency of 9 processor that AMD rolls out this month is 2.3 to 2.7GHz. These 9 processor use the F electrical outlet of AMD entirely, have two-way server model and 8 servers type. The DDR2 memory controller on all chip that these new chip contain AMD level and 6MB cache and standard of supportive HyperTransport 1.0. The processor that supports HyperTransport 3.0 will be in the 2nd quarter was rolled out 2009.
The speed of the 2.2-2.7GHz that AMD rolls out perhaps can let a few people feel disappointed. Nevertheless, shanghai chip is actual function rose than Barcelona chip 20% . This result will give a person deep impression. Considering this difference, the function of the Shanghai chip of the function of the Barcelona chip of 3.2GHz and 2.7GHz is consistent. If the power consumption of the Shanghai chip of 2.7GHz is 105 tile, this means AMD to still have upgrade the space of this kind of processor. As the maturity of Barcelona chip, AMD can produce clock rate the chip with identical smaller power consumption. The hot design power of the K10 chip of inchoate 2.5GHz is 125 tile, the hot design power of the chip of new version is 105 tile. If Shanghai chip can develop according to this trend, AMD at least should the power consumption that can let 3GHz chip maintains it is in power of 125 made of baked clay hot designs.
