AMD will focus in the coming two years did not focus on high-end serverchips, as would be seen from a leaked roadmap. The company will instead Opteron Warsaw with Piledriver cores continue to sell.

From the presentation of AMD’s roadmap for serverchips shows that the company has no plans to the Opteron 4300 and 6300-processorreeks the next two years to renew, or to other high-end serverchips, writes Xbitlabs. AMD has the news confirmed nor denied.

In 2014 and 2015 the company will be Opteron 6300-series, called Warsaw, with twelve and sixteen Piledriver cores deliver. The architecture of the new ‘Warsaw’processors is equal to the current Opteron processors, but must be due to optimizations for a better performance-per-watt ratio. On the basis of the roadmap from 2012, there is still that AMD are Piledriver cores on the half of 2014 wanted to replace with processors based on the Steamroller architecture, but that is not the case.

AMD did its new roadmap at the SC13 conference on supercomputing from the cloths. This shows that AMD in 2014, as expected, his ‘Berlin’-processors with Steamroller cores on the market will bring. This will be in 2015, followed by ‘Toronto’chips with Excavator cores. The chips will have up to four x86-cores. The company does not seem to Steamroller and Excavator processors for 2 – or 4-way servers work. So this means that AMD will focus in the coming few years will focus on the high-end servermarkt.

In addition, AMD the next few years, server-based solutions based on the arm architecture to offer. Specifically, the Seattle-based processors, four to eight 64-bit arm cores with ddr3 and ddr4-geheugencontrollers and pci-express 3.0. These processors will in 2015 be followed by the ‘Cambridge’processors.
