Chip firm takes aim at Arm with design that can scale up to 256 cores
SiFive has announced the launch of its latest core for datacenters, the P870-D, and claims it has a leg up on Arm's Neoverse N2 in density for AI., which debuted about a year ago. The main upgrades for the P870-D include its rest capability, error detection, 57 bits of virtual addressing for more memory, and the ability to scale up to 256 cores in a single SoC, which can optionally be monolithic or chiplet-based.
Ferguson says the P870-D doesn't try for top-end performance but instead balances speed with efficiency. The core is apparently on par with Arm's Neoverse N2 – which features in Microsoft'sWhen we asked Ferguson about efficiency though, he said it was hard to quantify since it depends on the process node; SiFive has modeled out the P870-D characteristics on TSMC's 3nm, but many customers are taping out cores on the older 7nm node.
