AMD continues to roll out better AMD Serer CPUs and desktop CPUs. Now, AMD has doubled the L3 Cache for its 7nm 64-Core AMD EPYC Rome CPU.
AMD Ryzen CPUs have taken the CPU market by storm and Intel is still figuring out how to counter. On the other hand, AMD continues to roll out better AMD Server CPUs and desktop CPUs. Now, AMD has doubled the L3 Cache for its 7nm 64-Core AMD EPYC Rome CPU.
However, AMD is yet to officially confirm the double L3 Cache for AMD EPYC Rome CPU. A SiSoft SANDRA listing is the source of this information. The database entry sheds light on some technical aspects of the upcoming AMD EPYC CPU.
According to the listing, this particular AMD server processor comes with eight 7nm 8-core “Zen 2” CPU chiplets. The listing also reveals the cache hierarchy for 64-core AMD EPYC Rome.
The AMD server processor features 512 KB dedicated L2 cache per core and 16 x 16 MB L3 cache per core. Now there are a total of 8 Chiplets in AMD EPYC 64 Core CPU.
With the listing suggesting 16 x 16 MB L3 cache for AMD EPYC 64 Core CPU, it seems likely that each of the 8 Chiplets for the 64-core AMD EPYC Rome features double the L3 cache.
