AMD Teams up with Microsoft to Advance Open Source Cloud Hardware

AMD Teams up with Microsoft to Advance Open Source Cloud Hardware

AMD announced their collaboration with Microsoft to incorporate the cloud delivery features of AMD's next-generation "Naples" processor with Microsoft's Project Olympus -- Microsoft's next-generation hyperscale cloud hardware design and a new model for open source hardware development with the OCP community.

Through Microsoft's contribution of the Project Olympus design much earlier in the cycle than many OCP projects, AMD was able to engage early on in the design process and foster a deep collaboration around the strategic integration of AMD's upcoming "Naples" processor. The performance, scalability and efficiency found at the core of Project Olympus and AMD's "Naples" processor means the updated cloud hardware design can adapt to meet the application demands of global datacenter customers.

"Next quarter AMD will bring hardware innovation back into the datacenter and server markets with our high-performance 'Naples' x86 CPU, that was designed with the needs of cloud providers, enterprise OEMs and customers in mind," said Scott Aylor, corporate vice president of enterprise systems, AMD. "Today we are proud to continue our support for the Open Compute Project by announcing our collaboration on Microsoft's Project Olympus."

Kushagra Vaid, general manager and distinguished engineer, Azure Cloud Hardware Infrastructure, Microsoft Corp. said, "Collaboration across the open source community is central to driving rapid innovation and creating a vibrant ecosystem for Microsoft's Project Olympus. Partnership in design, such as our collaboration with AMD, shows how engaging early and often with hardware innovators can produce open source designs that are faster to market and customizable to enable flexibility and choice for end users."

Designed to securely scale across the cloud datacenter and traditional on-premise server configurations, "Naples" delivers the "Zen" x86 processing engine in configurations of up to 32 cores. Access to vast amounts of memory, and industry-leading on-chip support for high-speed input / output channels in a single-chip SoC further differentiates "Naples" from anything else in the server market today. The first "Naples" processors are scheduled to be available in Q2, with expected volume availability building in the second half of 2017 through OEM and channel partners.

AMD will deliver two presentations on "Naples" and its datacenter strategy this week during the Summit. Scott Aylor, vice president of enterprise solutions will talk in the main hall on Wed., March 8th at 4:55 PM, while Dan Bounds, senior director of enterprise products, will deliver an engineering Tech Talk on Thurs., March 9th at 9:20 AM on the Expo Hall stage.

Maybe they should collaborate to fix Windows 10's scheduler for Ryzen.

And I thought it was OCP corporation....

It is allready the case. In fact, what we can ask, is why MS has not fix it allready, but as many "patch" have been delayed...

I ask me if insiders windows 10 program ( creator update) can test if the fix is allreay there.

This said, dont expect miracle... this will not make a 1800x to beat a 7700K in single threaded applications, but will resolve some inconsistency vs the 6900 in some games.

6700K-7700K are quadcore clocked really high. 8 cores are constrained by the TDP vs clock speed. ( 4.5ghz vs 4ghz )

As it should be the 1800x vs the 6900k not the 7700k

Windows 7 is getting more fps than w10 with RyZen, w10 is detecting 16 physical cores and 136MB total cache (lv2+lv3) :infinity: as Windows 7 with Bulldozer, said 8 physical cores up to get updated... maybe we´ll see two hotfixes soon... :pc1:
