Dual/Quad

SOC

Meh.

I'd heard that AMD was moving to a 1MB L2/module. Interesting that the claim was true.

That roadmap is a year old tho. Only 20nm for the small chip.

"Boot flash"? That must be eMMC 5.0.

Nvm, I am mistaken.

10 months old slide, while there is little reason to doubt its authenticity, what are the odds that the roadmap has not changed in the meantime?

Like, I thought that they agreed to fab all of their APUs at GF now? And GF isn't going to offer a 20nm node, are they? I thought that they were going to skip over to using a ported Samsung process for 14xm or whatever they were calling it.

Then again, AMD is doing 20nm for their GPUs soon, so I assume that those are being fabbed at TSMC, as always.

Got a link for that?

I thought that it was mentioned in a thread here, about one of the earnings conference calls with AMD. They said that they were going to having some of their products transitioning to 20nm. At least, that's what I thought I read here.

But nothing was mentioned of GPUs.

And you said AMD is doing 20nm for GPUs soon.

 

[AtenRa]

Yeap they only said they will have 20nm products in 2015, didnt specify what products or when exactly.

 

[AtenRa]

Also, GF has 20nm LPM ready but i have no idea if this one is suitable for AMDs Cat Cores and x86 SoCs.

 

[DrMrLordX]

People have been saying since February (I think) that Carrizo is going to be GF28A.

Carrizo is the big core Excavator, the above slide is for the small Cat cores and G-series SoCs for Embedded market.

The source is your own Reddit sub.

Did your source not know the slide is a year old?

There's a larger version of the slide with R-series SoCs on it in 2015.

My bad. Must have read one too many NostaSeronx posts.

6x1 PCI-E? that has to be a tablet chip.

Any clue as to what's going on at the Malta fab?

Kabini only had 4x1 PCI-e lanes.

No new info on Malta, anyone else ??

 

[DrMrLordX]

No new info on Malta, anyone else ??

They are busy at work preparing for the Maltese Falcon SoC.

. . .

wait for it

. . .

no, not really. But they should.

Looking at that diagram, I see ECC listed for use with one memory channel, not two.

So I assuming the die harvested parts with partially broken GPUs will be the server parts.

P.S. With regard to server usage, I wonder how many SATA ports these will come with?
