AMD K12

K12
General Info
Launched	Never released; (Planned 2017)
Designed by	AMD
Architecture and classification
Min. feature size	14 nm FinFET
Instruction set	ARM64 (ARMv8-A)
History
Predecessor	A1100 series

K12 was to be AMD's first custom microarchitecture based on the ARMv8-A (AArch64) instruction set^[1] with a planned release in 2017.^[2]^[3] Its predecessor, the Opteron A1100 series, also ARMv8-A, used ARM Cortex-A57 cores.^[4] As of 2023 the product has officially been canceled.^[5]

The microarchitecture was to focus on high frequency and power efficiency and was to target the dense server, embedded and semi-custom market segments.^[6]
