Huawei is the next company to present an ARM-based server processor-- the Kunpeng 920, designed for use in big data, distribution storage and ARM-native application scenarios, with higher performance per watt compared to the competition.
Built using a 7nm process, the Kunpeng 920 is based on ARMv8 architecture and offers 64cores operating at 2.6GHz. It also includes 8 channels of DDR4 memory and supports the RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) protocol, PCIe Gen 4 standard and Cache Coherent Interconnect for Accelerators (CCIX) architecture. Huawei claims the processor is faster by 25% on the SPECint benchmark compared to similar silocn, while power efficiency is 30% better.
