12 channels of DDR5-4800 memory in 1DPC configuration (2DPC speeds will be announced in Q1, 2023).AMD has six SKUs with higher core counts and claims that nine SKUs offer more performance in integer workloads (last slide in album).Īll of the Genoa chips support the following:

It should go without saying, but the flagship Xeon Platinum 8380 is simply outgunned with its 40 cores and a 60MB of 元 cache, while the Genoa stack tops out at 96 cores and 384MB of 元 cache. Besides, Genoa will primarily face off against the forthcoming Sapphire Rapids - as we'll see in the benchmarks, we’ll have to wait for that launch for a fair comparison. We added a few Ice Lake Xeon models to the above table but kept the additions to a minimum due to the large number of Intel SKUs. Also, bear in mind that, like Intel, AMD’s server chip pricing is merely a guideline, so actual pricing, particularly to larger customers, can vary dramatically. For instance, the two 32-core models have increased by $341 and $150, while the 48-core model has only increased by $200. AMD has also increased pricing for its 64-core models by $1,200 and $1,750 over the prior-gen models, but we see much more muted price increases further down the stack. The configurable TDP (cTDP), a customer/OEM-adjustable parameter that provides increased performance in systems with robust cooling, now tops out at 400W, an incredible 120W increase over the prior-gen chips.Īs you can see from the previous-gen 7003-Series Milan chips we added to the table, the Genoa flagship brings an additional 32 cores over the previous-gen halo part, the EPYC Milan 7763, and costs $3,915 more. The Genoa TDP ratings span from 200W to 360W, so the lowest TDP has increased by 45W while the highest end has increased by 80W. Peak clock speeds span from 3.7 GHz to 4.4 GHz, with the highest boosts coming from the frequency-optimized F-series models. The Genoa chips range from 16 to 96 cores, and we notice there are no longer 8-, 28- or 56-core offerings - at least for now. AMD also has a smattering of P-series models, like the 9354P, that are designed for single-processor (1P) systems (listed in the slides below). Meanwhile, the F-Series chips, which come with higher frequencies and larger core-to-cache ratios, slot into the ‘Core Performance’ tier.

The bulk of the Genoa family are general-purpose chips that slot into the ‘Core Density’ for the highest core counts, and the ‘Balanced and Optimized’ category that’s geared for a mix of performance and TCO.
#AMD EPYC SERIES#
The entire EPYC Genoa 9004 Series family spans 18 models in three categories - Core Performance, Core Density, and Balanced and Optimized - creating a vastly simpler product stack compared to Ice Lake Xeon, which has 56 total models with a wide range of varying feature sets.ĪMD has made a concerted effort to limit its product stack to the critical swim lanes.

In the future, SP5 will also support the Genoa-X processors, which incorporate 3D-stacked 元 cache like Milan-X, and the Bergamo chips, which have new dense Zen 4c cores that enable up to 128 cores in a single socket. The Genoa processors drop into the new SP5 socket that isn’t backward compatible with the Socket SP3 found on previous-gen EPYC systems, meaning the chips require an entirely new platform. The chip also includes a center 6nm I/O die to tie all the chiplets together, which we’ll cover in further depth on the following pages. That’s an increase of four additional CCDs compared to the previous gen Milan, necessitating a larger chip package and integrated heat spreader (IHS), which in turn helps improve cooling. Genoa’s larger chip package houses up to twelve 5nm Core Compute Dies (CCDs), each packing eight cores. As you can see on the left, the Genoa processors are much larger than the previous-gen Milan chip next to it, not to mention the consumer AMD and Intel processors we also threw in for comparison.
