During its press event held today, AMD showed a first public demo of the AMD Seattle, an upcoming server chip based on ARM Cortex-A57 CPU cores.


AMD currently plans to ship the 28nm 64-bit Seattle ARM based chip later this year but it was definitely nice to see this eight-core SoC running on Fedora Linux. AMD also shed some more details regarding the actual specifications of the AMD Seattle A-Series ARM APU which included up to eight Cortex A57-based cores, up to 4MB of L2 and 8MB of L3 cache, up to 128GB of dual-channel DDR3/4-1866 w/ECC memory per CPU.

The aforementioned demo included web hosting with Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP stack and was running on what was detailed as Red Hat Server for ARM 2.0 development preview OS.

AMD is currently sampling the 28nm Seattle APU and it is currently on track to be released in the fourth quarter of this year.
