Rumor: Next gen AMD Epyc processors will get 64 CPU cores
And that would be up-to 64 CPU cores per processor. AMD Epyc processors are intended for the enterprise and server market of course and seem to become a huge success story thanks to its terrific price and performance ratios against the competition.
French computer magazine Canard PC posted this tidbit on their Twitter account, the next-gen generation Epyc server processors would see 64 cores and get 256 MB of L3 cache. I would love to see a screenshot of the task manager and 128 Threads (SMT) ;-)
They have been right on more than one occasion, so this seems and deems plausible. The upcoming processors would support up to eight DDR4 RAM banks at a speed of 3200 MT/s and get 128 PCIe Gen 4.0 lanes. With 64-cores that proc would haul the proverbial azz alright. The current Flagship Epyc 7601 processor has "32 cores and 64 MB of L3 cache.
It is currently not known when the new Epyc processors would be released. The final PCIe 4.0 spec was released last week, it might take a year or two before we'll see market penetration for that. We can only assume the new Epyc procs would be released within that very same timeline.
Rumor: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 2GB and 1050 Ti 4GB - 09/26/2016 08:13 AM
Over in the Asian countries there's quite a bit of speculation on the GeForce GTX 1050. Apparently there will be two models released, the regular 1050 with 2GB graphics memory yet also a 1050 Ti with...
Rumor: Nvidia to use GTX 1070 and 1080 in laptops - 06/02/2016 08:46 PM
And to spice up that rumor, they might not release a GTX 1070M and GTX 1080M in the process. The manufacturer would use the GPUs of the desktop versions of the GTX 1070 and 1080, as it previously di...
Rumor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Ti Would get GP104 ASIC - 05/02/2016 07:06 AM
Let's call it rumor Monday today ? It looks like there will be another SKU, or let me rephrase that, there's rumor of another ASIC from NVIDIA. It would be the GP104. Earlier on we indicated the Ge...
Rumor: Nvidia Mobile Pascal-GPUs during Computex 2016 - not Desktop - 02/26/2016 12:31 PM
It's been topic for discussion for a while now. Personally I think we'll see some soft of announcement in April during the GTC, and later on a broad announcement in the Computex timeframe. Likely, a...
Rumor: No ATI RV790 at CeBIT - 01/20/2009 11:09 AM
German computer site ATI Forum claims AMD isn't planning to release the ATI RV790 GPU at CeBIT. Their source claims there's no reason to introduce the RV790 yet and that ATI can still squeeze more per...

I know Intel has that new Xeon Phi, but that architecture is a little too limited and niche to be a direct competitor to something like this.
Unless Intel managed to copy AMD with the multi-die configuration (in which case they were a little too quick to laugh at the whole "glued together" thing), I don't see how Intel could ever compete with this within a year of its release. There is no way they could ever make a single-die 64-core CPU without making any sacrifices and have even a semblance of a decent value. Their 18-core consumer parts are already absurdly expensive.
Intel may for now be the overall better choice for mainstream desktop PCs, but they are in serious trouble when it comes to servers. With Ryzens's better performance-per-watt and AMD's more powerful GPUs, Intel will also need to figure something out regarding laptops, too. But, I believe Intel can out-do AMD in laptops in a timely manner (whether or not they will is a different story).

This is azz backwards right now and that is why AMD shares are tanking. Still eight months later AMD stock is down from 14.90 at RyZen launch to 10.80 today at a lower volume.
They are down because server contracts are not coming up as expected.
And because they guided revenue decrease of 15 percent sequentially.

I don't like nor care about cores race. All these strange things are gonna help greedy companies like Ubisoft to give us 6-way DRM solutions just for their money. I hate this kind of trash programmers destroying our systems. They should use their degree as toilet paper at best.

You do realize this is for servers right? One of these CPUs are probably going to cost more than your entire PC. In large mainframes, products like this are a necessity. I bet a single rack equipped with fully-occupied dual-socket 64-core Epycs could replace an entire row of racks made just 3 years ago. This is a really big deal.
