AMD roadmaps reveal "Starship" series CPUs

Anyone who is well acquainted with AMD should know that they have big plans for the Enterprise/ High-End Desktop (HEDT) market, with plans to take back market share from Intel and cement themselves as a worthy competitor in the x86 arena once more.



Thankfully AMD's plans do not end with Ryzen, with the company planning to create even more impressive CPUs with increased core counts and future manufacturing technologies. Recently leaked roadmaps from AMD show that the company is planning to create codename "Starship" CPUs which will be built on a 7nm FinFET manufacturing process and offer up to 48 total CPU cores and 96 total threads.



This plan will have AMD release a CPU that offers 50% more cores than their upcoming Naples CPUs by mid-2019, which will come with the same TDPs as Naples and in theory offer 50% or higher performance gains if clock speeds remain the same. At this time it is expected that these new CPUs will also be using a next-generation GPU architecture that will offer performance improvements beyond their current Zen/Ryzen offerings

AMD plans to make a success out of their new Zen CPU architecture in the mobile, server and consumer markets, though it is clear that AMD's strategy stretches out well into the future with intentions to use upcoming process technologies and to evolve their new Ryzen CPU architecture to better suit the needs of consumers.

Lisa Su, AMD's CEO has already stated that AMD plans to jump immediately to 7nm after 14nm, which should offer some significant performance advantages for upcoming AMD hardware, though it remains to be seen how well GlobalFoundries' 7nm node will perform and how long it will take for it to be production ready.

You can join the discussion on AMD's "Starship" series of Enterprise CPUs on the OC3D Forums.
