AMD Launches 5th Gen EPYC 'Turin' CPUs with Up to 192 Cores and 5 GHz Clock Speeds

AMD launches Epyc 9005 "Turin" processors with up to 192 Zen 5c cores

In a nutshell: AMD has launched the fifth generation of its Epyc server processors, codenamed "Turin." The lineup includes 27 SKUs and introduces significant advancements with the new Zen 5 and 5c core architectures. These new chips will compete in the data center market against Intel's Granite Rapids and Sierra Forest offerings. Launched under the Epyc 9005 branding, the 5th-gen Epyc CPU family is compatible with AMD's SP5 socket, just like the Zen 4-based "Genoa" and "Bergamo" processors, and features two distinct designs. The first is the "Scale-Up" variant, utilizing 4nm Zen 5 cores with up to 16 CCDs for optimal single-threaded performance. The second is the "Scale-Out" variant, which leverages the 3nm Zen 5c core design with up to 12 CCDs for improved multi-core throughput. The lineup is led by the Epyc 9965, featuring 192 Zen 5c cores, 384 threads, a base clock of 2.5GHz, and a boost clock of up to 3.7GHz. It offers 384MB of L3 cache and has a default TDP of 500W. The processor is priced at $14,813. The flagship Zen 5 product is the Epyc 9755, which boasts 128 cores, 256 threads, 512MB of L3 cache, a 2.7GHz base clock, a 4.1GHz boost clock, and a 500W TDP. It retails for $12,984. On the other end of the spectrum, the entry-level Turin processor is the Epyc 9015, featuring 8 Zen 5 cores, a 3.6GHz base clock, a 4.1GHz boost clock, a 125W TDP, and 64MB of L3 cache. It has an MSRP of $527. AMD claims the Epyc 9965 chip offers up to 3.7x faster performance than the Xeon Platinum 8592+ in end-to-end AI workloads, such as TPCx-AI (derivative). In generative AI models, like Meta's Llama 3.1-8B, the Epyc 9965 is said to deliver 1.9x the throughput performance of the Xeon Platinum 8592+. According to AMD, the Zen 5 cores enable Turin to deliver significant performance gains over the previous generation, with up to a 17 percent increase for Enterprise and Cloud platforms, and up to a 37 percent improvement for HPC and AI platforms. The chips also feature boost frequencies of up to 5GHz (Epyc 9575F and 9175F) and AVX-512 support with the full 512-bit data path. The Epyc 9575F, AMD's purpose-built AI host node CPU, leverages its 5GHz boost clock to enable a 1,000-node AI cluster to handle up to 700,000 more inference tokens per second. Beyond the shift to Zen 5 core architecture, Turin introduces several key advancements, including support for up to 12 channels of DDR5-6400 MT/s memory, 6TB memory capacities per socket, and 128 PCIe 5.0/CXL 2.0 lanes. Another notable feature is Dynamic Post Package Repair (PPR) for x4 and x8 ECC RDIMMs, improving memory reliability.

AMD 5th Gen EPYC Turin CPUs Launched: Up To 37% IPC Increase, Up To 192 Cores, 500W TDP, 5 GHz Clocks & Significantly Outperforming Xeon

AMD's 5th Gen EPYC CPUs, codenamed Turin, are now official, and bring major uplifts across the board with the Zen 5 core architecture. AMD Zen 5 Now Launched For Data Centers With 5th Gen EPYC "Turin" Family: Up To 192 Cores, 500W TDPs and 5 GHz Clock Speeds The day is finally here, it's the start of a new chapter of EPYC with a brand new core architecture that once again delivers substantial generational uplifts and further elevates AMD's hold of the data center segments. Since launch, AMD's EPYC CPUs have amassed a 34% market share hold in the server segment, up from 2% back in 2018. The AMD EPYC platform is being used by some of the world's biggest tech companies with over 950 cloud instances and over 350 OEM platforms & now it's time for an upgrade! Meet Turin, the 5th Gen EPYC CPU family which is being branded under the "EPYC 9005" series. The lineup is set out to achieve three goals, extend server CPU leadership, propel towards efficient modernization, and offer an End-to-End AI leadership platform. To achieve these goals, AMD is using its latest Zen 5 core architecture to power the family. We have detailed the Zen 5 architecture in detail here. For its 5th Gen EPYC lineup, there are going to be two solutions. The 4nm version of Turin with up to 16 "Zen 5" CCDs, offering up to 128 cores and 256 threads, which is referred to as the "Scale-Up" variant while the second one is the "Scale-Out" variant which utilizes the 3nm "Zen 5C" cores with up to 12 CCDs, offering up to 192 cores and 384 threads. Turin packs up to 17 chiplets with a total of 150 Billion transistors for the full chip. The CPUs will come with AVX-512 support with a full 512b data path & up to 5 GHz clock speeds. Chips can be configured in 1P or 2P servers. In terms of IPC improvement, AMD states that Zen 5 delivers "exceptional uplifts" over the previous generation with up to a 17% increase for Enterprise and Cloud platforms and up to a 37% increase for HPC and AI platforms. The lineup scales from 8 cores to up to 192 cores and TDPs scale from 155W to up to 500W. As for the platform itself, AMD is relying on the same SP5 socket for both variants of Turin which makes it an easy drop-in upgrade from the previous Genoa and Bergamo "Zen 4" releases. The platform still offers a 12-channel memory solution but now has DDR5 speeds configured up to 6400 MT/s with ECC support, 6 TB capacities per socket & you still get 128 PCie 5.0/CXL 2.0 lanes. New on Turin is support for PPR or Dynamic Post Package Repair for x4 and x8 ECC RDIMMs. On the security front, you get Trusted I/O, FIPS 140-3 in process, and Hardware Root-of-Trust support. The 5th Gen AMD EPYC "Turin" lineup will consist of a total of 27 SKUs which include the EPYC 9965 as the 192-core "Zen 5C" flagship, the EPYC 9755 as the 128-core "Zen 5" flagship, and the EPYC 9575F "Zen 5" chip as the first 5 GHz EPYC SKU. Moving to the details of the flagship SKUs, the AMD EPYC 9965 will feature 192 cores, 384 threads, and 384 MB of L3 cache. This chip will feature a 2.25 GHz base clock and a 3.7 GHz boost clock. The CPU will be configured at a default TDP of 500W and will be priced at $14,813 which is significantly lower than Intel's top Xeon 6900P offering which is priced at $17,800 US. That's a 17% higher price for Intel's flagship offering with 128 cores. The EPYC 9755 which is based on the standard Zen 5 cores will come configured with 128 cores, 256 threads, 512 MB of L3 cache, a base clock of 2.7 GHz, a boost clock of 4.1 GHz, and a TDP of 500W. This chip will feature a price of $12,984 US which is again much lower than Intel's 6980P chip, marking a -27% difference. AMD also has several frequency-optimized variants in 64, 48, 32, 24, and 16 core flavors. The top part is the EPYC 9575F which offers 64 cores, 128 threads, 256 MB of L3 cache, a 400W TDP, a base clock of 3.3 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.0 GHz. This chip is priced at $11,791 US. Lastly, we should mention the entry-level 8-core SKU, the EPYC 9015, which is configured with a 125W TDP and has a base clock of 3.6 GHz, and a boost clock of 4.1 GHz and 64 MB of L3 cache. This chip will cost $527 US. The full lineup and their respective specs/prices can be seen in the table below: AMD 5th Gen EPYC Turin CPU Lineup Specs: Now let's talk about performance, throughout its slides, AMD compares its 5th Gen EPYC CPUs against the 4th Gen EPYC and 5th Gen Intel Xeon lineup. The red team starts by presenting a world record within the SPEC CPU 2017 Integer Throughput tests, leading Intel by 2.7x and 4th Gen EPYC by almost 60%. In terms of per-core performance measured using 32-core parts in the SPECrate 2017 INT base test, the 5th Gen EPYC CPUs deliver a 40% improvement over Intel's 5th Gen Emerald rapids and a 27% uplift over the 4th Gen EPYC SKU. AMD even highlights strong performance at the same cost of licensing in the virtualized segment. In terms of workload performance, the AMD EPYC 9965 192 core CPU offers up to a 4x increase in video transcoding (FFMPEG raw to vp9), 2.3x increase in Business app performance (Specjbb), 3.9x increase in open-source databases (MySQL OLTP), and a 3x increase in Image Rendering (vRay 5) performance versus the Intel 5th Gen Xeon SKU. The EPYC 9965 does offer 3x more cores than the Intel Xeon 8592+ chip which offers 64 cores. So how about performance using the same core count, well AMD also showcased 64-core EPYC 9575F comparisons against the EPYC 9554 and Xeon 8592+. The Zen 5 part with the same core count still leads in performance by up to 1.6x across a range of Enterprise HPC workloads such as Ansys LS-DYNA, Altair Radioss, Ansys Fluent, and Altair AcuSolve. The Opensource HPC performance sees a big gain too across Dense Linear Solver and Modeling & Simulation workloads with the EPYC 9965x delivering anywhere from 2.1 to 3.9x gains over the Intel Xeon CPU and over 2x gains against the 4th gen EPYC "Genoa" CPUs. For AI performance, AMD is also touting some big gains, mostly coming from those AVX-512 512b capabilities which do yield up to an impressive 3.8x gain in performance. Faster SKUs such as the 5 GHz EPYC 9575F deliver a 28% speedup in GPU orchestration tasks. AMD's EPYC platform is known for delivering superb performance at great value and that continues with Turin. With Turin, AMD says that data center firms can move from 1000 servers based on older CPU platforms to just 131 modern servers equipped with EPYC 9965 CPUs. This 7-to-1 approach will allow data center firms to easily migrate to the latest chips while retaining the same x86 architecture set, the same mature ecosystem & same robust tools available at their disposal. The AMD EPYC Turin platform can provide up to 68% reduction in power requirements, up to 87% reduction in server space, and lead to 67% lower TCO over 3 years. AMD also proposes that the extra save spacings can be used to grow the AI and compute capabilities of data centers by over 1.1 Million AI TOPs using just 416 GPUs and a 2.5x compute performance increment coming from those new 640 CPU racks. AMD is also outlying its EPYC platform to be used as an AI Host CPU for AMD Instinct and NVIDIA MGX/HGX platforms. The solution can be equipped with up to 8 OAM MI300X or MI325X GPUs & configurations that use the EPYC 9575F 5 GHz chip and can see up to a 20% performance increase in AI inferencing and up to 15% uplift in training. For NVIDIA, the MGX solutions can be equipped with up to 16 AI accelerators (Hopper/Blackwell) and HGX configurations can get up to 8 accelerators with up to 2 EPYC CPUs. AMD & NVIDIA have announced a technical partnership, recommending a range of EPYC CPUs ranging from 32, 48, and 64 cores which can be seen below: Overall, AMD's 5th Gen EPYC "Turin" family looks to be another disruptive launch, especially given the performance and value they have on offer. AMD isn't sharing the performance figures against Intel's Xeon 6900P for now but we can expect a few updates in the coming months as both chips become widely available.

AMD Launches EPYC 'Turin' 9005 Series: Our benchmarks of fifth-gen Zen 5 chips with up to 192 cores, 500W TDP

AMD launched its fifth-gen EPYC 'Turin' processors here in San Francisco at its Advancing AI 2024 event, whipping the covers off the deep-dive details of its new Zen 5-powered server CPU family for enterprise, AI and cloud use cases. We also ran some of our own benchmarks in preparation for our review, but decided to share a preview of the impressive results below. AMD has unified its standard scale-up optimized models with full-fat Zen 5 cores and its scale-out optimized models with dense Zen 5c cores into one stack that flies under the EPYC 9005 Turin banner, and made several impressive performance claims against Intel's competing Xeon processors. AMD claims that its flagship 192-core EPYC 9965 is 2.7X faster than Intel's competing flagship Platinum 8952+, with notable speed-up claims including 4X faster video transcoding, 3.9X faster performance in HPC applications, and up to 1.6X the performance per core in virtualized environments. AMD also announced its new high frequency 5GHz EPYC 9575F that it claims is up to 28% faster than Zen 4 EPYC models when used to accelerate AI GPU workloads. We'll break down the product stack and features, and then work our way to the benchmarks. Notably, AMD isn't introducing its X-series models with stacked L3 cache for this generation, instead relying upon its Milan-X lineup for now. AMD says its X-series might get an upgrade every other generation, though that currently remains under consideration. AMD's new series scales from eight cores up to the $14,813 192-core 384-thread EPYC 9965, a 500W behemoth that leverages TSMC's 3nm node for the ultimate in compute density with dense Zen 5c cores. AMD also has five other Zen 5c-powered models that scale well for high-density applications with 96, 128, 144 and 160-core models. AMD also has standard models with Zen 5 cores fabbed on the 4nm node that top out at 128 cores and 256 threads with the $12,984 EPYC 9755. This stack has a total of 22 models that begin at a mere eight cores - a new small-core level for AMD that it created in response to customer demand. AMD also has four single-socket 'P" series models interspersed throughout its product stack. AMD's standard Zen 5 lineup now includes new high frequency SKUs that top out at 5.0 GHz, a new high watermark for AMD's datacenter CPU lineup that will maximize performance in GPU orchestration workloads. AMD has a total of five F-series models for various levels of performance and core counts. The standard Zen 5 models employ up to 16 4nm CCDs (chiplets) paired with a large central I/O die (eight cores per compute chiplet), while the Zen 5c models employ up to 12 3nm CCDs with 16 Zen 5c cores per chiplet paired with the same I/O die. AMD claims a 17% increase in IPC for the RPYC 9005 series, borne of the new Zen 5 architecture. Zen 5 also brings the notable addition of full 512b datapath support for AVX-512, though users have the option to also run the chips in a 'double-pumped' AVX-512 mode that issues 512b instructions as two sets of 256b, thus lowering power requirements and improving efficiency in some workloads. With the exception of the flagship 192-core model, all Turin processors can drop into existing server platforms with the SP5 socket. The 192-core model also drops into the SP5 socket, but it requires special power accommodations, so newer motherboards are needed for that top-end model. This marks the second generation of SP5-compatible EPYC chips, with the previous-generation Genoa also utilizing the platform. This meshes well with AMD's strategy to speed time to market and reduce upgrade friction for its customers and OEM partners; for instance, the first three generations (Naples, Milan and Rome) all utilized a common platform as well. TDPs span from 155W to 500W, with the highest-power models often utilizing new dense watercoolers that resemble standard AIO coolers - the radiator is integrated inside the chassis, as pictured in our sample Turin server above (we have a review in progress). The Turin family is only available with 12 channels of DDR5 memory support, with up to 12TB of memory capacity per server (6TB per socket). AMD originally spec'd Turin at DDR5-6000, but has now increased that to DDR5-6400 for qualified platforms. AMD's platform only supports 1 DIMM per Channel (DPC). Each CPU hosts 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes for single-socket servers and exposes 160 PCIe lanes in a dual socket configuration. AMD also supports CXL 2.0 (caveats apply). We ran short on time before we traveled here to the event, so we didn't have time to finish all of our tests - the testing for the 192-core model isn't yet done. However, we do have plenty of our own results we can share below in advance of our review, which will be posted with the complete results in the coming days. Here's a preview of our results in key areas: AMD shared a series of benchmarks to solidify its performance claims, but as with all vendor-provided benchmarks, we should wait for third-party verification. We are currently testing an EPYC Turin server, so stay tuned for our benchmarks. We included AMD's test notes in an album at the end of the article. AMD made all of its comparisons against Intel's fifth-gen Xeon, though Intel recently begun shipping its Xeon 6 'Granite Rapids' lineup. AMD says it hasn't been able to secure those systems for testing yet, so keep in mind that these benchmarks aren't against Intel's current flagship. AMD claims a new world record in the industry-standard SPEC CPU 2017 integer throughput benchmark with the EPYC 9965, with a 2.7X advantage over Intel's fifth-gen flagship. AMD also claims a 1.4X advantage in per-core performance, which is key to effectively utilizing expensive software licenses that often cost more than the CPU itself - a core value prop for AMD's Turin. In fact, AMD claims 60% more performance at the same licensing costs. Naturally, AMD also included a spate of benchmarks in general compute workloads like video transcoding, business apps, database, and rendering workloads, with a 4X, 2.3X, 3.9X and 3X advantage over fifth-gen Xeon, respectively. AMD also provided plenty of HPC benchmarks that you can see in the above album. AMD shared plenty of benchmarks to back up its assertion that Turin is the best choice for the full range of AI workloads, with those workloads falling into three different buckets. In AI inference workloads that fully saturate the CPU, Intel has held a distinct advantage in CPU inference workloads that leverage its AMX (Advanced Matrix eXtensions) instructions. However, AMD claims that Turin changes that equation with up to 3.0X to 3.8X faster AI inference with its 192-core EPYC 9965 in a range of AI workloads. Many AI implementations rely upon the CPU to orchestrate the GPU AI workloads, thus pushing the GPUs along as they handle the heavy inference and training work. Here AMD claims advantages ranging from 1.08x to 1.2x with its new high-frequency 5GHz EPYC 9575F. AMD shared a list of Nvidia recommendations for pairings with its HGX and MGX systems, along with optimum pairings for its own MI300X systems. AMD also argues that Intel's AMX advantage is only applicable in 100% saturated AI throughput workloads, but AMD opines that most AI workloads occur in mixed environments where general purpose compute workloads are also active. Here AMD claims advantages in a range of mixed general-purpose and AI compute workloads running concurrently on the CPU, with a claimed doubling of performance per dollar over Intel's fifth-gen Zeon. AMD notes that many of its customers are keeping their existing servers for longer periods of time now, with some keeping servers deployed for five or even six years. However, the company points out that you can take 1000 older Xeon Platinum 8280 servers and consolidate that down to 131 Turin servers, yielding up to 68% less power consumption with up to 87% fewer servers. AMD started with roughly two percent of the datacenter revenue market share back in 2017 when it launched the first-gen EPYC Naples chips, but it has now expanded to an impressive 34% of the revenue share throughout the first half of the year on the strength of its fourth-gen Genoa ($2.8 billion last quarter alone). Much of that success comes from not only performance and pricing advantages, but also from on-time predictable execution, a mantra that AMD has repeatedly incessantly since the first-gen launch. AMD says the intervening years have found it offering 6 times more cores and 11 times more performance over its first-gen Milan, which Turin naturally adds to. It also touts its double-digit IPC increase (~14%) with each successive generation. Those generational improvements have built up to an exceedingly impressive lineup for Turin. As you can see above, we have both the Granite Ridge and Turin systems in-house and will share our further analysis of our own test results in our review soon.
