The latest design features microarchitecture improvements that make it the most powerful ARM CPU currently available. It features 32 ARMv8-A 64bit cores operating at up to 3GHz, eight DDR4-2667 memory channels and the ability to address up to 1Tbyte of memory. According to the company, X-Gene 3 is expected to offer up to six times the performance of X-Gene products currently shipping.
“X-Gene 3 performance and power measurements are exceeding our expectations,” said Kumar Sankaran, associate vice president of software and platform engineering for MACOM’s newly acquired compute business from AppliedMicro.
