The US monopoly on microprocessors seems to be a thing of the past. Following China and Russia, the European Union is preparing its best practices. The European Processor Initiative (EPI) is developing its own processor for high-performance applications such as machine learning and artificial intelligence.
According to EPI chapter Jean-Marc Denis, the processor will be created using 6 nanometer technology at TSMC capacities. It will be released at the end of the current or early next year. It will be hardware based on ARM, but the architecture will get its own. It is called Zeus and is a version of the core server architecture Neoverese.
A separate chip is also promised. Titan based on RISC-V architecture. They want to use it for tasks of artificial intelligence, he will receive the memory of HBM. The common processor will be equipped with DDR5 memory and a PCIe 5.0 bus for internuclear communications.
