Overview[edit]
Kunpeng, also known as Hi16xx, is a series of 64-bit ARM server microprocessors designed by Huawei. First introduced in 2015, those processors are geared towards highly-threaded or high-throughput applications. Those processors were only found in the HiSilicon evaluation development boards and in a few limited series of Huawei servers. Huawei expanded their server offerings in 2018 and 2019 with the TaiShan line of servers. In early 2019, with the introduction of the 920 series, Huawei rebranded the series as the Kunpeng.
Naming scheme[edit]
Models[edit]
Older models[edit]
Older models were based on Arm's mobile Cortex cores. Those models range from 16 to 32 cores and offer up to four memory channels.

930 Series[edit]
Next-generation SoCs are the Hi1630 which are branded as Kunpeng 930 series. Those chips are expected to feature a higher-performance core with higher frequencies, simultaneous multithreading support, and Arm’s Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) extension. Those chips will are also planned to move to DDR5 memory.
950 Series[edit]
The Kunpeng 950 series will be the follow-up to the 930 and are planned for the 2023 timeframe.
