AMD has finally lifted the curtains off its next-gen Data Center powerhouse, the Zen 5-based EPYC Turin CPU which is expected to be branded under the EPYC 9005 family and feature a diverse range chips ranging from compute, cloud, telco, edge optimized variants. AMD isn’t giving us any specifics at the moment but what they are telling us is that Intel should be very afraid of what’s coming since Turin looks like a monster!
In terms of performance, AMD stacks a 128-core EPYC «Turin» CPU against an Intel 5th Gen Xeon Emerald Rapids CPU, the Xeon Platinum 8592+, with 64 cores since as high as Emerald Rapids go. The AMD Turin CPUs offer anywhere from 2.5x to 5.4x gains in performance across various work loads which is very impressive.
The preliminary specifications of AMD’s next-gen EPYC Turin lineup which will be branded under the 5th Gen EPYC family were also revealed a while back and included at least 20 SKUs based on the Zen 5 & Zen 5C core architecture. The CPUs are designed to feature drop-in compatibility with the existing 4th Gen EPYC family on the SP5 (LGA 6096) socket and will feature support for faster DDR5 6000 MT/s memory too. The lineup is going to feature up to 128 Zen 5 and 192 Zen 5C cores so starting with that let’s take a look at the SKUs.
So far, we have seen SKUs such as the EPYC 9845 (160 Core / 320 Thread), 9825 (144 Core / 288 Thread), 9745 (128 Core / 256 Thread), 9655 (96 Core / 192 Thread), 9645 (96 Core / 192 Thread), and 9565 (72 Core / 144 Thread). All of these SKUs are 64 Core+ variants and feature more than 256 MB of L3 cache and TDPs ranging from 320/400 up to 500W. Following are the various CPU configurations that we should expect in the EPYC Turin family:
100-000000976-09 — 12 CCD + 1 IOD (192 Zen 5C Cores / 384 Thread / 384 MB Cache / 500W)
100-000001152-05 — 10 CCD + 1 IOD (160 Zen 5C Cores / 320 Thread / 320 MB Cache / 360W)
100-000001153-09 — 8 CCD + 1 IOD (128 Zen 5C Cores / 256 Thread / 256 MB Cache)
100-000001249 -XX — 2 CCD + 1 IOD (32 Zen 5C Cores / 64 Threads / 64 MB Cache)
100-000001538-03 — 16 CCD + 1 IOD (128 Zen 5 Cores / 256 Thread / 512 MB Cache)
100-000001245-XX — 16 CCD + 1 IOD (128 Zen 5 Core / 256 Thread / 512 MB Cache)
100-000001246-02 — 12 CCD + 1 IOD (96 Zen 5 Cores / 192 Thread / 384 MB Cache)
100-000001341-XX — 12 CCD + 1 IOD (96 Zen 5 Cores / 192 Threads / 384 MB Cache)
100-000001247-12 — 8 CCD + 1 IOD (64 Zen 5 Cores / 128 Threads / 256 MB Cache)
100-000001247-04 — 8 CCD + 1 IOD (64 Zen 5 Cores / 128 Threads / TBD MB Cache)
100-000001342-XX — 8 CCD + 1 IOD (64 Zen 5 Cores / 128 Threads / 256 MB Cache)
100-000001538-03 — 4 CCD + 1 IOD (32 Zen 5 Cores / 64 Threads / 128 MB Cache)
100-000001249-02 — 2 CCD + 1 IOD (16 Zen 5 Cores / 32 Thread / 64 MB Cache)
Now since it isn’t mentioned if these are Zen 5 or Zen 5C SKUs, the cache pools range from 256 MB and up to 384 MB.
