4th Gen EPYC with As much as 96 Zen 4 Cores and 1GB L3 V-Cache

As AMD makes strides in snatching market share with its high-performance x86 processor designs within the server market, it has introduced a few of its upcoming 4th generations EPYC households anticipated someday in 2023. Specializing in its technical computing and database-focused household codenamed Genoa-X, it’s the direct successor to AMD’s Milan-X EPYC line-up which launches, in a while, this 12 months in Q4. 

Basically the V-Cache enabled model of AMD’s Genoa EPYC CPUs, Genoa-X will embrace as much as 96 Zen 4 cores and 1GB (or extra) of L3 cache per socket. We all know that Genoa-X might be utilizing the most recent SP5 socket (LGA6096), and can function twelve reminiscence channels, similar to the common Genoa platform which is ready to debut in Q4 2022.

Which means the brand new SP5 platform will assist Genoa, Genoa-X, Bergamo, and Siena, though it’s unclear if customers upgrading from Genoa to Genoa-X will want a brand new LGA6096 motherboard or if it will likely be enabled with a firmware replace.

Because the successor to Milan-X, Genoa-X is designed to fit into the identical consumer phase, with AMD pitching it at prospects who’ve workloads that uniquely profit from outsized L3 caches – that’s, workloads that may predominantly slot in these caches. That features technical computing workloads (CAM, and many others) in addition to databases.

We anticipate to listen to extra about Genoa-X and any particular options it’ll carry to the 4th Gen EPYC platform sooner or later. AMD Genoa-X is scheduled to be launched someday in 2023.
