AMD Introduces EPYC 8005 Processors with 84 Cores and 384 MB Cache
AMD has officially unveiled its new EPYC 8005 (Sorano) processor line for servers. These chips are primarily designed for energy-efficient and compact systems, such as industrial servers, telecommunications infrastructure, and data storage systems. This is reported by news source.
A key feature of the new line is the abandonment of "simplified" Zen 5c cores. All processors are built exclusively on full-power Zen 5 cores, available in configurations from 8 to 84 cores (up to 168 threads) in a single-socket format.
The flagship of the series, the EPYC 8635P model, features 84 cores and 384 MB of L3 cache. It has a TDP of 225 W and a maximum frequency of up to 4.5 GHz. These specifications guarantee high performance for compact systems.
Compared to the previous generation (EPYC 8004), the new processors provide up to a 40 percent increase in performance, with energy efficiency improved by 9.5 percent. According to AMD, compared to similar Intel Xeon models, the new chips offer up to 91 percent higher efficiency while consuming less power.
The new processors support the modern PCIe 5.0 interface and the DDR5 RAM standard. This allows for a significant increase in data transfer speeds and meets the needs of modern servers.
