I’m not even sure where and how to begin with this information. But a slide-deck roadmap has leaked onto the web through the usual channels. The information in the slide-show reveals is rather gigantic.
The information based on the data-center thus enterprise segment, and is mentioning 14nm Naples With 32 Cores in 2017, a 7nm 48 Cores proc in 2018 – Zen 1 and Zen 2 Based Horned Own, Grey Hawk, Banded Kestrel and River Hawk CPUs. The AMD internal roadmap leaked reveals pretty much any AMD CPU that is available and will be available in the upcoming year or two.
The slides apparently dates back to February and includes proc overviews starting at 2016 running up-to 2018. For this timeframe obviously Naples With 32 Cores is up and coming for the enterprise market, but also 3 CPUs code-named A1100 ARM using ARM Cortex-A57 cores. Then there’s Merlin Falcon using Excavator cores and a second Excavator based product called the Brown Falcon CPU.
| Enterprise Proc | AMD Snowy Owl | AMD Naples | AMD Starship |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPU Architecture | Zen 1 | Zen 1 | Zen 2 |
| Process Node | 14nm FinFET | 14nm FinFET | 7nm FinFET |
| Maximum Cores | 16 Cores | 32 Cores | 48 Cores |
| Maximum Threads | 32 Threads | 64 Threads | 96 Threads |
| Availability | Q2 2017 | Q2 2017 | 2018 |
Where your eyes will pop out though is slide 1, check the year 2018, where AMD has planned a 48 core server processor (that would be 96 threads) based on Zen 2 Cores. That product has code-name Starship, and would be based on 7nm Finfet. I do doubt that 7nm will be ready in 2018 though, especially with a product die this ginormous. TDPs would run anywhere from 30W up to 185W. Below the leaked slides, courtesy of Videocardz.
