- AMD Officially Launches EPYC Rome, EPYC 7742 offers up to 64 cores and 128 threads
- Some of the highlights of 7nm EPYC Rome:
AMD's EPYC Rome series is the successor to the first generation of EPYC Naples processors that launched two years ago. Based on 7nm Zen 2 core technology, which has delivered a 15% increase in IPC over the original Zen core, 'Rome' CPUs are designed to deliver higher performance and more cores.
AMD Officially Launches EPYC Rome, EPYC 7742 offers up to 64 cores and 128 threads
During the presentation event, several very important clients joined AMD on stage to discuss and share announcements about the implementation of these new processors.
Companies like Google, Microsoft, Twitter, HPE, Lenovo, Dell and even VMWare made announcements about the implementation of EPYC Rome on their servers. For example, Google will use them for the Google Cloud Compute Engine, while Microsoft will implement them for its Azure virtual machines for general-purpose applications. Cray was also there, announcing that the Air Force Meteorological Agency will use a Cray Shasta system with second-generation AMD EPYC processors to provide comprehensive information on Earth and space weather to the Air Force and the United States Army.
Zen 2 not only offers higher performance, but due to a smaller manufacturing process, the resulting die size has enabled AMD to fill twice as many cores and threads in EPYC 7002 CPUs, while maintaining speeds of highest clock.
Some of the highlights of 7nm EPYC Rome:
- Built with advanced 7nm process technology. The world's first 64-core data center CPU. The world's first general-purpose PCIe Gen 4.0 data center CPU with a bandwidth of up to 64GB / s, Twice as much as PCIe Gen 3.0. Integrated security protection to help defend CPU, applications and data.
AMD has made significant changes to its CPU architecture that help deliver twice the performance of its first-generation Zen architecture. The main points:
- Performance Pipelines Enhanced Dual Floating Point (256-bit) and Load / Storage (Dual Bandwidth) Duplicated Core Density Half Power Per Operation Improved Branch Prediction Improved Pre-Fetching Instruction Re-Optimized Instruction Cache Increased Bandwidth Cache
The AMD EPYC Rome '7002' range of servers consists of 19 models, of which the EPYC 7742 is the flagship.
The AMD EPYC 7742 is the chip that sets the benchmark for all other chips. Offering 64 cores and 128 threads, 256 MB of cache and a TDP of 225W (up to 240W). The processor has a 2.25 GHz base clock and 3.40 GHz boost clock, while it has 128 PCIe Gen 4 tracks. AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su has rated the flagship as the world's highest performing x86 processor.

Compared to the Intel Xeon Platinum 8280L, the AMD EPYC 7742 turned out to be 97% faster on SpecRate 2017 Integer workloads, 88% faster on SpecRate 2017 floating workloads for high-performance computing, and 84% better in SpecjBB 2015 workloads.
The processor would cost $ 6, 950, which puts it around $ 3, 000 lower than the Xeon Platinum 8180, which offers just 28 cores and 56 threads. In this way, AMD is positioned in a privileged place in the server market, with cheaper products, more performance, more cores and new technologies implemented such as PCIe 4.0
