Bergamo launch yesterday.
The following video is not just about performance… But the video also details the advantage of chiplets that lets AMD make new processors at faster speed.
128 Cores & 3D V-Cache EPYC – Launching Today!
Benchmarks in linux
Across all of these benchmarks carried out, the EPYC 9754 2P on average had a 385 Watt power draw… In comparison the EPYC 9654 2P had a 447 Watt average and the EPYC 9684X 2P had a 464 Watt average. And need we mention the Xeon Platinum 8490H 60-core processor consuming even more power with a 568 Watt average. The EPYC 9754 power consumption results surpassed my expectations in frankly not expecting Zen 4C to deliver such power efficiency improvements while still performing so well.
To me, the impact of the AMD EPYC Bergamo is hard to understate. An organization can deploy mainstream 32-core and 64-core Genoa parts for mainstream x86 applications. Specialized 16-core Genoa-X SKUs with 48MB of L3 cache per core or 96 core parts with 1.1GB of L3 cache per core can be added to a cluster for extreme software licensing or HPC workloads. For the sea of 4 and 8 vCPU VMs the AMD EPYC 7954 provides a meaningful upgrade in terms of density and lowering the cost per VM from a power and footprint standpoint. That portfolio all runs the same Zen 4 flavor of ISA which is different than Intel’s P-core and E-cores today, and especially swapping to Arm.
