Taiwan's industrial embedded manufacturer iBase today exposed a new motherboard 'MBN806', the processor labeled 'AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 Series', or rather a BGA integrated package on the motherboard SoC chip System, model EPYC 3201, 8 core 8 threads.
Before I heard of a EPYC 3251, but the specification is unknown, it is estimated that the core number more.
And this embedded EPYC 3000 series actually we already heard, in the first half of 2016 was exposed, was also classified as Opteron Opteron sequence.
Designed for high-end embedded markets such as communications and networking, the same code-named Snowy Owl, is based on 14nm Zen and is a modular design that is divided into SCM BGA and MCM BGA, 16 core 32 threads (32MB L3 cache), and another 12 core, 8 core, 4 core version, thermal design power 35-100W.
In contrast, ThreadRipper up to 16 core 32 threads, but the thermal design power consumption reached 180W, of course, the frequency of the EPYC 3000 series will certainly be much lower.
The EPYC 3000 Series also features four channels of DDR4 memory (RDIMM / UDIMM / LRDIMM / NVDIMM / Flash / 3DS), up to 64 PCI-E 3.0 buses, up to 16 SATA or NVMe devices, up to eight 10GbE 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Integrate independent security subsystem, server controller center.
Unlike the top-of-the-line Naples EPYC 7000 Series for data centers, the EPYC 3000 Series is a BGA integrated package that plugs directly into the motherboard.
One of the big benefits of an embedded platform is stability and durability. AMD will provide up to 10 years of technical support for the EPYC 3000 Series.
Its rival is obviously the Intel Xeon D series, which is currently the most high-end Xeon D-1587 specifications for 16 core 32 threads, 24MB L3 cache, the highest frequency of 2.1GHz, 32 PCI-E 3.0, thermal design power 20- 65W.
