Details have already leaked out about the first desktop CPUs based on AMD's next-gen Zen architecture, and now, Fudzilla has tasty morsels for the server crowd. The site has posted a legit-looking slide describing a monster with up to 16 Zen cores and 32 threads, doubling the CPU payload of the rumored desktop chip.

The CPU cores are joined by a "Stream Processor" dubbed Greenland. Obviously intended for more than just graphics, this spruced-up GPU promises ECC protection and only a 50% performance hit for double-precision math. More impressively, Greenland apparently gets up to 16GB of HBM ...
