Amd epyc 7000: specifications and performance

It seems that we can already get an idea of ​​what the new AMD EPYC 7000 processors will bring, along with some performance comparisons with Intel Xeon CPUs. All this thanks to the leak of the AMD press kit for the EPYC 7000 series, whose official launch is scheduled for June 20.

The AMD EPYC 7000 series of processors will be released on June 20

This leak comes to us through the guys at Videocardz, who were able to get the presentation of the new range of processors. According to their report, the EPYC 7000 series will feature up to 32 high-performance Zen cores, 8 DDR4 channels per CPU, up to 2TB of memory per CPU, 128 PCIe lanes, a dedicated security subsystem, an integrated chipset, and mono socket designs. and dual.

In total 12 EPYC SKUs are listed, with prices ranging from $ 400 to $ 4, 000. Meanwhile, its thermal designs vary between 120W and 180W depending on the model you buy.

Now, according to AMD's own tests, the EPYC 7601 model , which costs up to $ 4, 000, has up to 47% higher performance compared to the Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4. Meanwhile, the EPYC 7401, priced at $ 1, 700, has 53% higher performance than the Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4.

Interestingly, the EPYC 7301 (priced at $ 800) has the biggest advantage, with 70% higher performance versus the Intel E5-2640 v4. These performance comparisons were performed on a single socket EPYC versus a single socket Intel. However, we still don't know what types of benchmarks were performed to reach these results, so all we can do is wait until more details emerge.
