ThunderX2 Strengthens ARM Servers: Cavium Starts Production of World's Most Powerful ARM CPU

摘要

It's been a long time coming, but Cavium is now shipping its ThunderX2 processor. The chip features the most powerful ARM CPU yet to reach market, implementing a custom microarchitecture that runs circles around the best Cortex CPUs available today, although it falls short of Intel's massive Skylake. Still, the 32-core chip packs a mighty punch, delivering plenty of performance for mainstream data-center applications and even some high-performance computing (HPC).
