Next-gen AMD EPYC (Genoa) Would get 50% larger socket SP5, 96 cores and 400W TDP

Next-gen AMD EPYC (Genoa) Would get 50% larger socket SP5, 96 cores and 400W TDP

AMD is seriously pounding its way into the data-center. If anything, EPYC has proven to be a very cost-effective and high-performance solution in the data-center. But what's next? Well, that would be products tagged under the development codename genoa. 

Well-known twitterer ExecutableFix noticed that AMD Genoa with Zen4 core architecture would feature up to 96 cores, that's processor cores, which means 192 threads paired to 12-channel DDR5 memory. Personally, we're not too sure about the processor core count but speculated is the usage of 12 chiplets dies, each holding 8-cores and add to that the IO chip. Epyc can manage max eight channels; however, it would entail DDR5 at DDR5-4800 MHz for genoa. If you do the math scaled upwards, then this proc would also offer 160 PCIe lanes.

The new socket would be called socket SP5 and would get a tremendous amount of wires and pins with 6096 contact points. To feed all that core galore, the thermal design would change from 280 watts to 320~ 400 watts. AMD's Genoa server CPU will probably be unveiled at the end of 2022.

I get that when server has 50% more cores, it can benefit from 50% higher memory bandwidth.
But was not DDR5 supposed to deliver higher bandwidth by itself?

What would be speculated use of 12 memory channels + extra bandwidth per channel? (Conspiracy theory about drastic increase in Zen4 IPC or EPYC all core boost clock.)

Extra bandwidth available from PCIE5 devices would be my idea.

PCIE4 was pretty power hungry compared to PCIE3, and PCIE5 will be no different.
High frequencies will require more power for the moment, until it gets optimized, and maybe a lithography shrink (if that helps).

I was more expecting the CCX's to go to 12 cores rather than the extra chiplets.
Then again, with the increase in pin count, and overall 'chip' size, they would have the room.

12 memory channels/PCIE5 would mean a new IO die as well.

more cores means the requirement for more independent mermory channels goes up for latency reasons and a new socket has to have the legs for quite a few years so a bit overkill now is barely adequate when the socket dies

400W? So, matching the next gen 8 core Intel desktop CPU then. This is fine

It will support AVX3-512 instructions.
