AMD confirms Zen 4 architecture EPYC processors
According to the latest report, AMD has released the EDAC driver code patch for the fourth-generation EPYC processor on the Linux platform a few days ago. Some parameters of next-generation processors are shown in the new patch.
AMD’s fourth-generation EPYC processor, code-named Genoa Genoa, will be manufactured with Zen 4 architecture and support DDR5 memory. The code shows that the processor will support up to 12 DDR5 memory channels, and the previous generation only supports 8 DDR4. These 12 memory channels also increase the theoretical memory bandwidth to 460.8 GB/s, more than double the previous generation.

Moreover, the frequency of DDR5 memory starts at 4800MHz, the voltage is reduced to 1.1V, and it supports fine-tuning of the voltage. Samsung previously announced that the latest technology can increase the capacity of a single DDR5 memory to 512GB. If the next-generation EPYC processors are all equipped with this kind of memory, it will increase the memory capacity of a single processor to 6TB.
