Processors for data centers have played a leading role in the opening of Computex. AMD gave details on EPYC 'Rome', ushering in a new era of 7nm processors.
AMD officially announced 64-core EPYC Rome and is twice as powerful as the Xeon Scalable 8280
AMD started by saying that EPYC 'Rome' will be used on the ExaFLOPS 1.5 'Frontier' supercomputer. The most powerful computer in the world. Furthermore, since the announcement of EPYC two years ago, these processors have already been used on more than 60 platforms globally.
This supercomputer would be ready in the year 2021, where EPYC processors and Radeon Instinct graphics solutions will be combined. AMD is aiming for the top, and that's an exciting thing to watch.
Technical details and performance
For starters, AMD's Rome processors increase their number of cores and threads to a maximum of 64 and 128 units respectively, which is a double increase compared to their current generation offerings.
AMD also offers a 2X floating point performance boost, which when combined with the core boost allows performance to be increased in this important section by up to 4x.
AMD gave a small demonstration of the expected performance with this new chip, notably outperforming the Intel Xeon Scalable 8280. EPYC Rome offers double the performance per socket than previous generation EPYC models, and quadruple in FP workloads.
One of the main novelties of AMD's Rome processors that sets them apart is the SCH (Integrated Server Controller Hub) that the company is integrating into each chip as a separate 14nm I / O array.

This new integrated SCH chip enables the company to increase Rome's IO capabilities. We are talking about 8 channels of DDR4 memory and 162 PCIe 4.0 tracks.
It has been confirmed that second-generation “Rome” processors for servers and data centers will be released in the third quarter of 2019, bringing to market the world's first 7nm x86 processors.

Amd vastly outpaces intel in cpus sales in November
Intel sold less than half its rival AMD during November at Mindfactory.de. Ryzen R5 2600, R7 2700X and R5 2600X top sellers.
Amd epyc 7662 and epyc 7532 join the epyc 'rome' family
The EPYC 7662 and EPYC 7532 are made from the same ingredients as AMD's other Zen 2 based EPYC Rome, 7nm node.
