AMD's 96-core Epyc CPUs leapfrog Intel to put DDR5, PCIe 5.0 in the datacenter
AMD's status as scrappy underdog trailing in Intel's wake has been upended. The chipmaker has managed to pull out ahead of rival Intel with the launch of its fourth-generation Epyc"Genoa" processors this week.
However, the IPC gains are only part of the story. Combined with higher core counts and clock speeds, Ram Peddibhotla, AMD VP of Epyc product management, claims its flagship 96 core Epyc 4 CPUs are twice as fast as last year's 64-core Milan parts in a variety of cloud, high-performance compute , and enterprise benchmarks. As usual we recommend taking these claims with a healthy grain of salt.
Genoa's higher configurable TDPs are hardly surprising given the industry-wide trend toward hotter, more power dense CPUs and GPUs over the past few years. Just this week wethat Intel's 56-core HBM-stacked Sapphire Rapids CPUs — now called"Intel Xeon CPU Max" — will consume around 350W, putting it just a hair below AMD's 96 core Epyc 4 9654 at a default TDP of 360W.
