AMD and Microsoft team up to advance open source cloud hardware
Microsoft’s Project Olympus platform design to incorporate the upcoming high-performance “Naples” x86 server processor.
AMD recently announced it is working with Microsoft to advance open source cloud hardware. During the 2017 Open Compute Project U.S. Summit, the company said it teamed up with Microsoft to add Naples’ processor’s cloud delivery features to Microsoft’s Project Olympus.
Project Olympus is Microsoft’s next-gen hyperscale cloud hardware design, and also a new model for open-source hardware development within the OCP community.
AMD says the joint effort means updated cloud hardware design can ‘adapt to meet the application demands of global datacentre consumers’.
“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.”
Naples will bring the ‘Zen’’ x86 processing engine in configurations going up to 32 cores. AMD says the access to large amounts of memory and industry-leading on-chip support for high-speed I/O channels in a single chip SoC will separate Naples from everything else available in the market today.
The first processors are expected in the market in the second quarter of this year.

>Intel cucks everyone except Google and Amazon out of Skylake Xeons for 6 months literally a week before rollout
>rest of the 7+1 all start moving to AMD and ARM processors
Fucking blunder of the decade by Intel.

They did that because yields and supply.
But then again it stranded relationships with others by saying "your business is not good enough for us!"

Nah the stepping had non-functional xPoint support which was one of the key selling points. Wasn't found till chips were already being pumped out. Google and Amazon didn't give a fuck and offered to buy the whole lot. Yields are fine.
It wasn't just the exclusivity, it was that it was fucking last minute. They were ready for the chips n boards to come flowing in before Intel sent word that oy vey 6 month delay.

Major companies, priority customers. Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc

>>59569889
But skylake-ep only launches in q3, there's no way they had supply half a year ago when charlie breached this exclusivity deal.

>>59569921
Q2 2017, and I told you, chips missing features, bad stepping. Original launch was Q4 2016
>>
>>59569981
You sure it's Q2? I haven't seen any confirmation by Intel except 'second half'
