This model features a pretty good selection of I/O for a server CPU, as there are five PCIe 4.0 x16 (4x4) interfaces, with three supporting CCIX 1.0. Besides the core clusters, we see that a slum of cache connects everything, with six 72-bit DDR4-3200 PHYs and memory controllers surrounding everything. It also uses a home-grown RISC-V core for management and controlling secure boot sequences.īelow, you can see the die shots taken by Fritzchens Fritz and annotated details by Twitter user Locuza that marked the entire SoC.
With a TDP of 120 Watts, the design seems efficient, and the Russian company promises performance comparable to Intel Skylake Xeons or Zen1-based AMD EPYC processors.
Manufactured on TSMC's 16 nm process, the Baikal-S BE-S1000 design features 48 Arm Cortex-A75 cores running at a 2.0 GHz base and a 2.5 GHz boost frequency. Today, thanks to the famous chip photographer Fritzchens Fritz, we have the first die shows that show us exactly how Baikal-S SoC is structured internally and what it is made up of. In December of 2021, we covered the appearance of Russia's home-grown Baikal-S processor, which has 48 cores based on Arm Cortex-A75 cores. This price point makes it a fair bit more attractive, even taking potential driver related issues and hardware limitations into account. Local shops are offering the card on sale for US$372 to as little as US$313 (NT$9990), which is only US$13 less than Intel's own Arc A750 cards retail for in Taiwan. The port configuration consists of three DP 2.0 ports and one HDMI 2.1 port. The card measures 267 x 117.75 mm and has as we've also seen, a pair of 8-pin power connectors. We're not sure how there's a version 2.0 when this is Acer's first retail graphics card. The blower fan is referred to as Aeroblade 3D and the regular 92 mm fan as Frostblade 2.0. As seen in the launch announcement pictures, the card has a rather unusual fan design and Acer has even come up with some marketing names for the setup. The latter also increases the TDP from 250 to 280 Watts. The BiFrost comes with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and an overclocking option that boosts the GPU speed from 2,200 MHz to 2,400 MHz. Acer has launched its Predator BiFrost Arc A770 graphics card in Taiwan and the official pricing appears to be NT$12,900 or US$404, local shops are already selling the card for far less.
