Included in the device is Qualcomm’s Falkor CPU, its custom ARMv8 compliant core optimised for performance and power efficiency.
“Centriq 2400 series processors will drive high performance, power efficient ARM-based servers from concept to reality,” said Anand Chandrasekher, pictured, general manager of Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies. “We are first in 10nm IC technology for mobile and, leveraging our expertise in ARM processors and system on chip design, we are the first with our Qualcomm Centriq family of server processors to bring the leading edge to the datacentre.”
Qualcomm has described the launch as a ‘monumental achievement’ and says it is ‘uniquely positioned’ to address the needs of cloud customers seeking server solutions optimised for total cost of ownership, while meeting performance, efficiency and power demands.
The Qualcomm Centriq 2400 processor series, sampling to key customers, is expected to be available in the second half of 2017.
