Epyc milan would beat the ice lake

During a presentation at HPE Cast 2019, AMD revealed that its third-generation Zen 3-based EPYC Milan CPUs would offer better performance per watt than Intel's 10nm Xeon chips.

EPYC Milan will offer higher performance per watt than Ice Lake-SP 10nm

Just a month ago AMD introduced its second-generation EPYC Rome chips (Zen 2) and today we are already receiving some details about Milan.

With the launch of the second generation of 'Rome' EPYC processors based on the Zen 2 architecture, AMD introduced a ton of key features, most notably its new chiplet architecture, which has enabled the company to scale its chips to twice the number of cores and threads. The chips also feature industry-leading I / O and are the first server products to rely on a 7nm process node.

The recently updated AMD roadmap showed that Zen 3, the architecture that powers Milan's CPUs, will arrive in 2020. The Zen 3 core would be based on the 7nm + process node that would oppose Ice Lake-SP processors from 10nm and Cooper Lake Xeon 14nm ++.

In terms of efficiency, AMD has highlighted that its processors would offer much better performance per watt, and just by looking at the slide, we can also see that even EPYC 'Rome' processors are designed to compete favorably with Intel's Xeon products of the year. coming. This is something AMD had hinted at since 2018, when Rome was still being designed.

AMD Technical Director Mark Papermaster also revealed that Zen 3 is built on the foundation of Zen 2 and that it will primarily boost efficiency along with increased overall performance.

The AMD Zen 3 core will be built on top of the 7nm + node which allows for 20% more transistors than the current 7nm process. The 7nm + process node also offers 10% more efficiency.
