![]() ![]() In terms of coherent interconnects, V1 supports CCIX 1.1, while N2 steps forward to CCIX 2.0 and CXL 2.0. These chips will also adopt future tech, like PCIe 6.0, and as-yet-undefined new versions of the CCIX and CXL interfaces.Ĭhips based on "Zeus" V1 and N2 "Perseus" designs could come in either 7nm or 5nm flavors, support PCIe 5.0, DDR5, and either HBM2e or HBM3. ARM also teased enhanced performance in vectorized/machine learning workloads. The company predicts a continued cadence of 30% IPC gains, and these designs will be based on either 5nm or 3nm process nodes to enable higher core counts. V-Series: Optimize for maximum performance, at the cost of power and areaĪRM's three-prong approach targets scale-out (N-Series), edge-type devices (E-Series), and scale-out high performance compute, high-performance cloud, and machine learning (V-Series).ĪRM also teased its next-gen Poseidon platforms that will come in 2022 and beyond.E-Series: Optimized for power and area - efficiency-focused at the cost of performance.N-Series: Optimized for performance-per-power (watt) and performance-per-area.As such, each of ARM's three platforms is tuned for specific objectives: Like most semiconductor vendors, ARM designs its chips to meet specific power, performance and area targets (PPA), with adjustments on these axes defining the end solution. Nvidia's graphics and DPU IP could also serve as high-performance chiplets (possibly even in APU-style implementations) that would tie in well with ARM's chiplet-based ambitions. Snapping Nvidia's IP into the ARM portfolio would enable new possibilities for both companies, such as tighter integration for Nvidia GPUs and networking with the ARM architecture. That would help enable the Neoverse platform to upset the industry in a shorter period of time. ![]() Nvidia intends to further accelerate the already-impressive ARM roadmap when (and if) all goes to plan, taking the reins in ~2022. Not to mention that ARM's roadmap positions it for continued gen-on-gen performance gains that will soon outstrip x86 architectures. In light of the success of ARM's Neoverse platform, which has already achieved monumental feats over the last two years, ARM's roadmap vision, which stretches to 2021 in its public form, looks particularly threatening to the x86 data center duopoly of Intel and AMD. ![]()
