Having achieved a steady rise with EPYC processors, especially on the corporate side, AMD announced its new processors that will strengthen its hand in the competition. The highly anticipated EPYC Genoa-X processors raise the bar on competition.What does the AMD EPYC Genoa-X series offer?
Genoa-X series, which will be among the Zen 4-based server processors, known by the code name Genoa, comes with 3D cache technology as it is understood. With the second generation 3D caches, a processor can reach a total of 1248MB of cache.
The processors come with a total of 12 Zen 4 dice. Each dice contains up to 64MB of 3D cache stacks. A total of 768MB of 3D cache is obtained, while the standard Level 3 cache is 384MB and the Level 2 cache is 96MB. Also, 3MB is reserved for Level 1 cache. The amount of memory varies depending on the processor.
Genoa-X processors, which have 56 percent more cache memory than the first generation Milan-X series, provide a 2.6-fold increase compared to standard Genoa processors. There will be optimizations up to 320W in the series, which consumes 400W of energy.
The flagship in the series is the EPYC 9684X and can be scaled up to 96 processors. The processor with a total of 1152MB Level 3 cache consumes 400W of power. The EPYC 9384X processor has 32 cores and 768MB Level 3 cache. The EPYC 9284X processor has 24 cores, while the EPYC 9184X processor has 16 cores. It also has 768MB of cache.
The EPYC 9684X processor, with its 60-core Intel Xeon 8490H Sapphire Rapids processor, achieved up to 2.9x gain in tests focused on CFD and FEA workloads. The impressive results will also play an important role in AMD’s growth. AMD, which took over a significant part of the Microsoft Azure infrastructure; Dell Technologies has started supplying processors to customers such as HPE, Lenovo and Supermicro.
