In yet another sign that Huawei is looking to break into new markets, the company has released details on a new desktop PC motherboard that is designed to house the company's Kunpeng 920 ARMv8 processors that it typically uses for server infrastructure.

Huawei launches its motherboards for its Kunpeng 920 ARMv8 processors

These chips come in 7nm quad-core and 8-core versions for the first desktop motherboards, but can be scaled up to 64 cores and are PCIe 4.0 compliant for full server models. New designs of motherboards and reference systems for desktop PCs, not to mention access to modern, high-core chips, indicate that Huawei has plenty of options if it seriously strives to capture a share of the desktop PC market..

The desktop motherboard supports the Kunpeng 920 dual-core and quad-core CPU, which can be extended up to 64 cores running at 2.6 GHz and support up to 1TB of eight-channel memory. These chips come armed with 20 billion transistors spread across three arrays in a multi-chip module, indicating scalability, and they support up to DDR4-3200 and 40 PCIe 4.0 interface tracks, not to mention support for the CCIX protocol, which It means that these chips rival AMD's market-leading desktop silicon in terms of connectivity. Plus, they feature the same 7nm process as AMD chips, bringing performance and efficiency benefits. For example, the full-featured 64-core chips have a relatively docile 180W TDP. These server-centric processors can also scale up to four sockets.

Huawei's S920X00 server motherboard also appears to be quite robust, with support for two Kunpeng 920 processors, 16 storage devices in SATA, SAS, or NVMe versions, up to 32 memory DIMMs spread across eight channels, and PCIe expansion.

There is another more modest model. In accordance with published specifications, the Desktop Board D920S10 supports the PCIe 3.0 interface, six SATA 3.0 hard interfaces, and two M.2 SSD slots. The memory consists of a four-channel DDR4-2400 interface that supports a maximum of 64GB of capacity, and the board also supports ECC. It also has an integrated Ethernet controller and naturally supports additional network cards up to 25GbE.
