AMD Naples 32-core Zen-Processors photos
AMD next year will release the Naples server CPU. This is a model with an amazing 32 cores and 64 threads, and is based on Zen architecture. AMD has the means to seriously compete with Intel in the server market with this processor.
The highest positioned Intel processor E7 8890 v4, has 24 cores and 48 threads (but is working on Skylake-EP with 32 cores) . Apparently last month AMD submitted some engineering samples to partners, and now images have surfaced on the web through wccftech.
The images below show a compact server configuration with active cooling AND two Zen CPUs, each with 32 cores. So yes you are looking at a 64 cores and 128 threads configuration there. Also it should be noted that the photos reveal two Radeon Pro GPUs. You can immediately recognize the large Naples-chip configured and setup as LGA-configuration (not PGA which we have seen from the previous gen AMD server processors. The CPU has a large Naples-L3-cache, which is 512 MB.
These 32-core processors should only have a 180W TDP.
BLEH!

I'm interested in the one with the 1024-core GPU built in

But that picture has the pins on the CPU, isn't the pins supposed to be located on the socket for LGA?

PGA is pins on CPU, LGA is pins in socket

Yeah I was a good 99% sure LGA was pins on socket. Intel's been doing that forever now. That picture is either not of the CPU in question or it's still PGA.

That is a fat chip, die size must be pretty huge for 32 cores too

I sure hope the mainstream Zen chips don't have pins on them. Having them on the motherboard is so much safer.

Yeah, but with each core running at 150Mhz.
minehunter & solitaire can both be run at 60fps...at the same time!!!
1.45GHz (14.5x100MHz) and 2.90GHz Turbo Max, or someting similar for non ES CPUs
Im not sure if these Opterons gets iGFX because 32 Cores ocupes muchas área and generates much hot, between 125-140w TDP as common on Server CPUs, the advantage of much Cores is the amount of multthreading performance, essential in servers, then dont care muchas on frequencies but is possible that next models gets ~2.20GHz base (140w) if actual (1.45GHz model) is 125w, other thing, we just know the "Turbo Max" clock (2.90?GHz) that affects the half of cores but we don't know the "Turbo" frequency that affects all cores, example my FX-6300 has 3.50GHz base, Turbo for all Threads 3.80GHz and Turbo Max (one Thread per module) 4.10GHz, this affects depending on load between threads

One of picts is a Desktop AM4 CPU, the Opteron CPU is rectangular

512MB l3 cache? are you serious? LOL
I feel so inadequate with my 45MB.

Wait is that on each CPU? if so then that server has a total of 1GB of cache! holy ****...
