AMD’s Naples server platform has been detailed

  

 

With such a large amount of PCI bandwidth at their disposal, AMD is looking to take Intel out of the high performance compute market by allowing platforms to be created that can heavily utilise both CPU and GPU resources. This is key for both the future or Radeon and AMD’s CPU division, as it will allow servers to be created that can take advantage ludicrous amounts of GPU and CPU horsepower for AI and other complex calculations. 

AMD’s Naples CPU platform is also said to feature 8 memory channels, offering AMD servers insane amount of memory bandwidth and capacity, which is something that will be very beneficial for compute given Vega’s new memory architecture. This will allow an AMD powered server to use GPU compute with some exceptionally large datasets, which will be very beneficial for large rendering machines and other GPU-based tasks that require larger than average datasets. 

  
  

AMD’s upcoming Naples CPU platform looks like it will be making a huge impact on the global server market, especially for those that are looking to deliver GPU-based analytics or compute solutions. It seems that Intel is going to have to work hard on their next generation server platform, as it seems their market dominance may be close to an end.
