The new 64 core amd epyc 'rome' cpu works @ 2.35 ghz

It seems that the clock speeds of AMD's flagship EPYC Rome have been revealed in a recent presentation of the new ' Hawk ' supercomputer, which is being developed by HLRS and HPE. The details of the clock speeds of AMD's EPYC Rome chips are crucial as they will be the first output of a high-performance 7nm process-based chip for the HPC market.

AMD EPYC 'Rome' surprised with its 64 cores and 128 threads

AMD made its first public presentation of the EPYC Rome processors last week. Many details were officially revealed, in his battle for the server market that he is waging against Intel Xeon.

AMD only revealed a part in its presentation that included 64 cores, placed on eight 7nm chiplets (8 cores each), surrounding a large 14nm I / O die. The design is truly revolutionary for the industry as it paves the way for cost-effective, high-performance solutions not only in the CPU market, but also in the GPU market. Details about the chip's design were abundant, but AMD shelved the clock speeds, which are likely to be kept secret until the entire EPYC Rome family makes its official debut next year.

The EPYC Rome processor used in the 'Hawk' super-computer has a speed of 2.35 GHz

Now, as far as the Hawk supercomputer is concerned, it would be equipped with the star AMD 64 EPYC Rome processor, which has a speed of 2.35 GHz. Now, this is definitely an interesting clock speed for a chip with such a number of cores, but we don't know if this speed is basic, or if it is the 'boost' clock speed.

For comparison, the current EPYC 7601 processor has a base clock speed of 2.2 GHz and can reach 3.2 GHz (1 core) and 2.7 GHz (all cores) at full load. Sure, this processor has half the cores and threads (32/64).

For this reason, if 2.35 GHz is the base clock speed, it is a very interesting number. We will keep you informed.
