The initial models from this series became available in March 2021, characterized by their Zen 3 architecture and the capacity to offer up to 64 cores.
Additionally, AMD has introduced a successor, the Genoa series, based on Zen 4 architecture since 2022, capable of accommodating up to 96 cores. Consequently, there are two generations of Epyc processors available in parallel, and this dual-generation approach is expected to persist until 2026. AMD's rationale for this approach is its commitment to fulfilling the diverse needs of its customers. All six of these new CPUs are compatible with DDR4 and PCIe Gen 4, further emphasizing AMD's aim to captivate customers with competitive pricing. The 3rd Gen Epyc CPUs have gained support from prominent OEMs including Cisco, Dell Technologies, Gigabyte, HPE, Lenovo, and Supermicro.
