64-core full blood Zen3 AMD officially announced the world's strongest x86 processor

AMD previews the third-generation Xiaolong EPYC: Zen3 blessing, the world's strongest x86 server processor.

At tonight's CES show, AMD released the Ryzen 5000H and Ryzen 5000U series processors, which will replace last year's Ryzen 4000 series as the mainstay of notebooks.

In addition to consumer-grade products, AMD also announced a new generation of EPYC Xiaolong processors in the final stage. It will upgrade the Zen3 architecture. With a 19% increase in IPC performance, the third generation of EPYC products is called the most powerful in the world. X86 server processor.

AMD launched the first-generation EPYC (code-named Naples) and the second-generation EPYC (code-named Rome) in 2017 and 2019. The core numbers are up to 14nm 32-core Zen and 7nm 64-core Zen2. The third-generation EPYC will be upgraded to 7nm Zen3 still has up to 64 cores and 128 threads, 128 PCIe 4.0, and 8-channel DDR4 memory.

On the third-generation EPYC processors, thanks to the 19% increase in IPC performance of Zen3, the performance of the EPYC processor, which was already dominant, has reached a new high. AMD said that it will be the world's strongest in performance per core or throughput X86 server processor.

In addition, the third-generation EPYC has also strengthened important cloud services, which can bring customers the best commercial value (AMD does not seem to emphasize cost performance), and at the same time, it has better security.

As for the performance of the third-generation EPYC, AMD officially did not publish much data. It only used the 32-core EPYC compared to the 28-core Xeon 6258R processor, and demonstrated the third-generation AMD EPYC processor "Milan" operation weather research and forecast. Model (WRF), which is one of the most popular tools for climate research and weather forecasting. ​​​​

From the results, the performance of the 32-core third-generation EPYC is 68% higher, far exceeding the difference in the number of cores, and the advantages are very obvious.

The third-generation EPYC processor will have a special press conference in the future when AMD will announce more detailed information.
