Arm announced the "Arm Neoverse V1 platform" for data centers and the "Arm Neoverse N2 platform" for networks, which are the latest generation core designs.

The "Arm Neoverse V1 Platform" is a new core design (IP design) provided for high-performance computing and machine learning. Improves the performance of high-load workloads by 50% by adopting new vector processing technology of AArch64 instruction set while maintaining the same Armv8 architecture as before. In addition, the performance improvement of the vector calculation workload is 1.8 times and that of the machine learning workload is 4 times.

The "Arm Neoverse N2 Platform" is a new core design for network devices with improved edge computing, cloud processing performance, and security performance. The latest architecture, Arm v9, was adopted for the first time, and single-thread performance was improved by 40% while maintaining the same level of power consumption and area efficiency.

It also features excellent scalability for high-throughput computing. The performance of NGINX is 1.3 times faster, and the DPDK packet processing capacity is 1.2 times faster in the case of edge 5G, which has restrictions on power consumption and mounting area. Supports Arm v9.0-A profile for high performance processors and features such as SVE2 to improve performance efficiency between cloud edges.

Summary of announcement:

• Arm Neoverse V1 Platform: Arm's first new computing tier, as well as the first scalable vector extension (SVE) -enabled core design in Arm design, high performance computing (HPC) and machine learning (ML). ) Provides a 50% performance improvement for high-load workloads.
• Arm Neoverse N2 Platform : The first Armv9-based product to deliver 40% performance gains for a wide variety of workloads.
• Arm Neoverse CMN-700 : The industry's most advanced mesh interconnect technology, enabling you to take full advantage of the Neoverse V1 / N2 platform, which combines processing performance with performance per watt.

With the explosive growth of data center workloads and Internet traffic, new solutions are needed to meet these demands while mitigating the expected future growth in power consumption. .. However, with a wide variety of workloads and applications running, traditional general-purpose computing approaches cannot be the solution. The industry wants flexibility, which means that it's the right application, and the free design philosophy to get the right computing power.

With the end of Moore's Law, solution providers are pursuing application-specific processing. Since the birth of the Arm Neoverse platform, the realization of application-specific processing has been an important point, and this new product is expected to further accelerate this trend.

In addition, the new system IP product "Arm Neoverse CMN-700" was also announced. By combining the "Arm Neoverse V1 / N2 platform", the number of cores per die, cache size, memory and I / O devices can be expanded.
