Computing Performance 2022: What's on the Horizon
summary
Survey of near-term platform changes: processors hit ~3.5 GHz plateau with recent beta 3.9 GHz parts, chiplet and 3D stacking and rising core counts (e.g., AMD 96, Ampere 128) driving horizontal scale; memory sees DDR5 doubling bandwidth but not latency and on-package HBM enabling “HBM-only” server modes; storage and SSDs show new pathologies as NVMe/PCIe5 scales; networking shifts to QUIC, XDP/eBPF and 400–800 Gb/s NICs; lightweight VMs (Firecracker, Cloud Hypervisor) approach bare-metal; observability expands to PMCs, libbpf and io_uring; prediction: multi-socket is doomed and AI auto-tuning (Granulate, Acumoss) will surface high-value tunables.
