recently disclosed new specifications on the EPYC Genoa line in the announcement of its next-generation servers. Dell EMC PowerEdge servers are already being driven by AMD’s 3rd Gen EPYC processors, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. The company’s pace of releases stands in contrast to competitor Intel, which recently delayed the launch and availability of its Xeon Scalable CPUs until January.ĪMD’s 4th Gen EPYC Genoa release will give it a head start over Intel as the chips migrate into the server supply chain.

Industry tracker TrendForce has indicated that the new Genoa EPYC server chips will be the first to support PCIe 5.0 connectivity, DDR5 memory and Compute Express Link 1.1 standards.ĪMD’s news comes not long after the launch of its Ryzen 7000 series for desktop processors. This has meant faster time to market for AMD, as evidenced by its latest release. And because AMD no longer manufactures its own chips, it can focus on design and partner with the fabs. Next-gen processors can take advantage of more advanced manufacturing. This latter point is critical from a cost and market perspective. AMD has also indicated that Genoa will be based on a 5-nanometer manufacturing process to provide greater density and power efficienc y.

Over the past several months, AMD has provided hints of what the release will include, including scaling of the Genoa stack to 96 cores with 192 threads of Zen 4 computing. (* Disclosure below.)
