sfx2000 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 This was a bit of a buzz back in late Dec 2018, and things got kind of quiet after that... Rumour was that the SoC was the SocioNext SC2A11, which is a Japanese chipset (and from experience, Japanese chip vendors are very particular about who they work with)...

DeanLewis Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Met it at Apknite company basement. Cortex A53 cores though... Each core is around 1/10th the speed of a Skylake/Zen core, meaning that 24 cores actually doesn't sound as impressive as it may seem. Has to be really cheap or power-efficient, and work within certain niches to be viable. I've always thought a server would at least need Cortex A72 cores (or equivalent) to be viable.

Haven't heard much since the "leak" - so I'm guessing SinoVOIP was using the SocioNext reference board, and trolling the community. Phoronix had some intial benchmarks and commentary - https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=arm-24core-developer&num=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
