AMD's Epyc X-chips are back after a three-year hiatus
The Register · By Tobias Mann ·
The Brief
- AMD is officially bringing back its cache-heavy Epyc X chips after a three-year gap.
- The HPC-optimized Venice-X parts are reported to offer up to 96 cores.
- The chips use AMD's 3D V-Cache stacking technology to triple L3 cache.
Why it matters
Developers running HPC or cache-sensitive server workloads may get more cache per socket from the new Venice-X parts, which could change hardware choices for those systems.
Who’s affected
- Teams running HPC workloads on AMD Epyc servers
- Operators evaluating AMD server CPUs for cache-sensitive workloads
AMD's cache-packed Epyc X chips are officially making a comeback. Based on the House of Zen's frequency-optimized SKUs we looked at back in September , its HPC-optimized Venice-X parts will offer up to 96 cores and use the company's 3D V-Cache chip stack tech to triple the L3…
