AMD showed its third-generation EPYC Xiaolong processor based on the Zen3 architecture at the January 13 press conference.
This server processor has 32 cores and 64 threads. Compared with the previous generation, the IPC has increased by 19%, and the performance per watt has expanded by 40%.
According to the news, the processor’s Geekbench 5 running points were leaked, showing a strong performance.
The running score information shows that this processor is called AMD EPYC 7543 and runs on a 1U server motherboard with 378 GB of memory. The processor has 32 cores and 64 threads, the basic core frequency is 2.8GHz, and the L3 cache capacity is up to 256MB.
The performance of this processor is equivalent to Intel’s dual 28-core Xeon processors, with a single-core score of 1343 points and a multi-core score of 25909 points. But the old Intel Xeon processor does not support the AVX-512 instruction set, so the multi-core performance cannot be compared.
The acceleration frequency of EPYC 7543 can reach 3.7GHz, and foreign media estimate that TDP will exceed 200W at this time. If you simply compare single-core performance, AMD’s CPU has surpassed the previous generation EPYC 7542 by 37%, and multi-core performance has increased by 2 times.
Compared with Intel Xeon Gold CPU 6246R, AMD EPYC 7543 has a lead of 25%-30%, which is worthy of a turnaround.
AMD’s third-generation EPYC Xiaolong processor will support DDR4 memory and PCIe 4.0, up to 64 cores and 128 threads. The processor adopts a multi-chip fusion package design, with up to 8 CPU computing chips and one I/O chip.
