Forget Intel Xeons, AMD tops the server CPU list and it’s upcoming 64 Core Epyc Rome CPU spots #1 on SiSoft Processor Database
It’s been months since the announcement of the next-gen Zen 2 architecture based EPYC Rome CPUs by AMD. The company has only shown us the preview of these new server end processors.
After the launch the of Ryzen 3000 processors, now it’s obvious that AMD is planning for the launch of these anticipated server end CPUs by the end of this year. So leaks are also getting surface online now.
The new leak shows that the upcoming monstrous 64 core EPYC Rome CPU is holding the #1 spot at the SiSoft Processor Database. This is not surprising because we already have seen the power of Zen 2 based on 7nm process.
Not only the Zen 2 has great IPC boost but also accompanies more L3 cache memory, better clock speeds and greater efficiency.
To compete with AMD, Intel did announce an insane priced 56 Core Cascade Lake-AP flagship CPU but with so many cores Intel could not top the charts even costing as much as $40-50K.
The flagship 64 core EPYC Rome CPU is said to be costing around $10,000 and at that price bracket, you get only 18-28 core Intel Xeon CPUs that too based on old 14 nm architecture.
This AMD server-based CPU has 64 cores and 128 threads which double up if a multi-socket motherboard is used.
The CPU runs at a base clock of 1.5GHz and a boost up to 3.3GHz along with a huge 256 MB of L3 cache and 32 MB of L2 cache memory. Intel is not even close to such huge cache memories.
Here we see the 64 core monster scoring a whopping 1565GOPS in the processor arithmetic test, securing the top spot in the processor database (processor arithmetic).
This is the first time ever AMD has totally out beaten all its competitors and topped the charts, thanks to the new Zen 2 architecture. This will help AMD to lead the server end CPU lineup after disrupting the desktop CPU market.
It’s just the start of AMD’s aggressive roadmap which they are promising to deliver, unlike Intel. In the coming years, we are likely to see the Milan CPUs based on the Zen 3 7nm+ design as well which they say to be “on track”.
If you closely see the current top 10 leaders in the list then you’ll mostly find the multi-socket systems powered by 2-4 Intel Xeon Platinum parts with about 22-28 cores each.
Not even a dual-socket Intel Xeon CPUs could beat a single 64 core AMD EPYC Rome CPU which is pretty insane. So, with dual-socket, these CPUs will destroy the performance charts.
Also, with some reasonable price points, we can expect this efficient server end CPUs gaining much more popularity in the course of time.
