Meet Bergamo and Genoa-X
AMD is yet to announce its Zen4 based Genoa server CPUs. Now it seems that the giant is already working on the 3D V-Cache variants of these CPUs along with a ‘Density Optimized’ variant. Density optimized CPUs are used to handle heavy traffic.
SP5 and SP6 Sockets
AMD’s 9004 and 8004 series will make use of the SP5 and SP6 socket respectively. The main difference between them may be the power delivery limit and the physical size of the socket. Similarly, the ‘standard’ lineup in the picture below shared by YuuKi_AnS shows that the only way to differentiate between a Genoa and a Bergamo CPU will the core count. Genoa goes to a maximum of 96 cores, whereas Bergamo starts from 112 cores.
Cache Increments
The ‘EPYC 9754‘ from Bergamo ships with a massive 128 core count along with 256MB of L3 cache. From the Genoa-X lineup, which is focused on cache optimization, we see the amount of cache breaching the 1GB territory. The naming scheme for the Zen4 Processors is as follows:
Release Date
AMD’s Genoa-X CPUs can be expected sometime in 2023 whereas the Genoa CPUs are planned to launch in Q4 2022. Are you excited about this new series from AMD?
