AMD has launched its latest server CPU line, the 5th Gen Epyc family, previously known as Turin.
Based on the Zen 5 architecture, the CPU offers a core count from eight to 192. The company claimed that the new architecture provides up to 17 percent better instructions per clock (IPC) for enterprise and cloud workloads and up to 37 percent higher IPC in AI and high performance computing (HPC) compared to Zen 4.
“From powering the world’s fastest supercomputers, to leading enterprises, to the largest hyperscalers, AMD has earned the trust of customers who value demonstrated performance, innovation, and energy efficiency,” Dan McNamara, SVP and GM, server business, AMD said.
“With five generations of on-time roadmap execution, AMD has proven it can meet the needs of the data center market and give customers the standard for data center performance, efficiency, solutions, and capabilities for cloud, enterprise, and AI workloads.”
The 192-core Epyc 9965 CPU has a boost clock of 3.7GHz and a TDP of 500W, with an L3 Cache of 384MB, for a price of $14,813. The 64-core Epyc 9575F is designed for GPU AI workloads and is capable of 5GHz, with a TDP of 400W, at a cost of $7,592.
At its Advancing AI 2024 conference, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su said that the company's server CPU market share had hit 34 percent, as it continued to eat into Intel's business.
