As the company had announced a few days ago, AMD today took the wraps off the third generation of EPYC CPUs, geared towards the server market. These are the first EPYC processors based on the Zen 3 core architecture that debuted with the Ryzen 5000 series, and they promise up to a 19% increase in instructions per clock compared to the previous generation.
The lineup includes processors with anywhere from eight to 64 cores, and between 16 and 128 threads, and they include support for things like 4-6-8 channel memory interleaving. AMD is claiming to have the highest performing server CPU - the 64-core EPYC 7763 - as well as the highest performance per core, though that refers to the eight-core EPYC 72F3 in a dual-socket system.
