As suspected with the [leak](https://technosports.co.in/2022/03/20/amd-epyc-7773x-milan-x-to-launch/)we received yesterday, new [Milan-X processors](https://technosports.co.in/2021/11/09/amd-epyc-milan-x-cpus-with-3d-v-cache-announced/)will be launching in the market, launched at CES 2022. AMD has today announced the world’s first data center CPU using 3D die stacking, the [3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors with AMD 3D V-Cache technology](https://www.amd.com/en/events/epyc), formerly code-named “Milan-X.”

As the highest-performing x86 server CPUs for technical computing, these latest processors deliver the industry’s largest L3 cache, leadership packaging innovation and modern security features. These new Milan-X server processors can deliver up to 66% performance uplift across a variety of targeted technical computing workloads versus comparable, non-stacked 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors.

- **Outstanding leadership performance in technical computing workloads**:
  - EDA – The 16-core, AMD EPYC 7373X CPU can deliver up to 66 percent faster simulations on Synopsys VCS™, when compared to the EPYC 73F3 CPU.
  - FEA – The 64-core, AMD EPYC 7773X processor can deliver, on average, 44 percent more performance on Altair® Radioss® simulation applications compared to the competition’s top of stack processor.
  - CFD – The 32-core AMD EPYC 7573X processor can solve an average of 88 percent more CFD problems per day than a comparable competitive 32-core count processor, while running Ansys® CFX®.

As the leak suggested, AMD has launched four new SKUs: 64, 32, 24, and 16-core options. This includes the flagship CPU i.e. EPYC 7773X featuring 64 Zen 3 cores supercharged by 768MB L3 cache, which comes with a TDP of 280W and a whopping price tag of $8,800. All of these processors come with 8 CCDs and each of these chiplets is equipped with 96MB of L3 Cache (64+16MB).

Coming to the other SKUs, the 32-core SKU called the EPYC 7573X will cost you $5,590 while the more affordable 24 and 16 core models, known as EPYC 7473X and 7373X respectively will come with a TDP of 240W and will shed $3,900 and $4,185.

These new 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors with AMD 3D V-Cache technology are now available today from a wide array of OEM partners, including, Atos, Cisco, Dell Technologies, Gigabyte, HPE, Lenovo, QCT, and Supermicro.
