The first European processor will arrive in 2023

The European Processor Initiative (EPI) has finally announced when we can expect the first processor developed in Europe to be official. The prototype of it has already been presented, a previous step for its launch, which is expected to occur in 2023. This processor will be manufactured at 6 nanometers by the Taiwanese TSMC.

TITAN would be the name of the same, which will use the ARM Zeus cores as a base. This European processor is designed with your use in data centers and computing systems in mind.

First European processor

This first EPI processor will incorporate a co-processor based on the RISC-V architecture, which has been designed to accelerate HPC and Artificial Intelligence tasks. It will be possible thanks to the fact that it has VPUs (Vector Processing Units) and STX (Stencil / tensor accelerators), all in a design where resources such as memory will be shared directly.

The CPU will arrive with an HBM memory system that will be placed directly into the Titan co-processor and will also support DDR5 directly to the CPU. In addition, the processor is expected to come with support for the PCI Express 5.0 standard, which will be the next of its kind.

What the EPI is looking for is to free the hardware to other manufacturers to be able to unify a common interface and allow other components to enjoy a good integration. You also want to give small companies and startups the opportunity to take advantage of this project. In addition, having a processor of its own development will reduce the dependence of the European Union on other countries.
