AMD Epyc 2 processor with 32 cores appears in Online Database
Yeah, it's not exactly a secret that AMD has been working hard to get ZEN2 towards EPYC 2, but things might be moving faster than expected as the first one already shows itself in an online database from SiSoft Sandra.
EPYC 2 is expected in H2 this year, and the beast will hold 32 cores and 64 threads. As many ways lead to Rome, you can check out the entry yourself here in the SiSoftware Official Live Ranker .
The engineering sample processor is listed having a base clock speed of 1.7 GHz, and a boost speed of 2.4 GHz. These frequencies are common for early qualification and engineering samples, the clock speed is significantly lower than its predecessor. Other juicy stuff, 128 MB of L3 cache. The SiSoftware database it listens for the product code ZS1711E3VIVG5_24 / 17_N. The tdp is not yet known, but since the chip is based on a 7nm production process it should be pretty good.

AMD said double the performance of previous gen. If it isn't clocked bellow 2GHz it will be a phenomenal win.

I wouldn't blame AMD if Epyc2 is the main concern for Zen2 arc.
Matisse is nice and all, but considering how much they push servers CPUs and promote them, I wouldn't expect big difference for desktop CPUs.
Maybe it's unrelated, but the lack of leaks for Matisse makes me wonder....

again, its been a while but remember that matisse was already better than a i9900k at least on Cinebench 8 vs 8 cores. Remember that we are talking about a Ryzen 5 type of CPU vs a i9900k so...

And you know that how??? AMD did the test not for performance but for power consumption which was indeed impressive thanks to 7nm: AMD system drew just 133W compared to 180W for the equivalent Intel system - that was the whole point of the much famed benchmark...
Nobody knows what speed/type the AMD CPU was running - the whole point was power draw on similar number of cores and the same benchmark. Now Epyc will be...epic with that amount of cache and cores but again no price....

Can someone please get Intel a bucket so it can put it over it's ass for all the pooping it's doing recently. :p
