Snow Ridge (SNR) is a 10 nm microarchitecture for servers and edge computing designed by Intel. SNR is planned to be introduced in late 2019.

Process Technology

Snow Ridge is planned for Intel's 10 nm process.

Architecture

Jacobsville platform

(Snow Ridge / Parker Ridge)

The Snow Ridge System-on-a-Chip (SoC) product family is Intel’s next generation of communication processors designed in Intel’s 10 nm process technology. The three major subsystems in this highly-integrated SoC are the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Complex, the Platform Control Hub (PCH), and the Network Accelerator Complex (NAC).

The CPU Complex contains up to 24 next-generation 64-bit Intel Atom processor cores (code name Tremont). The PCH is architected with a rich set of interconnect technologies. The NAC includes technologies for security and packet processing. The SoC architecture is highly scalable and efficient, providing a unified solution across an array of products.

Features

• Up to 24 Intel Atom processor cores (code name Tremont) at up to 2.2 GHz
• Mid-Level Cache (MLC) and Last Level Cache (LLC), including memory and cache
• Quality of Service (QoS):

• 4.5 MB of MLC per four-core cluster, for a total of 27 MB for 6 clusters

• 2.5 MB of LLC per tile, for a total of 15 MB for 6 tiles

• Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) that provides up to two 72-bit DDR4 interfaces (64-bit data + 8-bit Error Correcting Code (ECC)) and operating up to 2933 MT/s
• Network Accelerator Complex (NAC) with high performance, programmable, packet-processing acceleration technology, including:

• Network Interface and Scheduler (NIS, code name Columbia Park), with nine levels of hierarchical scheduling

• Flexible Packet Processor and Switch (FPPS, code name Highland Park (SKU dependent)), leveraging high-performance cut-through architecture

• Intel QuickAssist Technology (Intel QAT) v1.8 (SKU dependent), which performs security and compression acceleration
