wccftech - AMD EPYC Genoa & SP5 Platform Leaked – 5nm Zen 4 CCD Measures Roughly 72mm, 12 CCD Package at 5428mm2, Up To 700W Peak Socket Power
 
“We know that with EPYC Genoa, AMD will be moving over to a new platform and introducing so many new features. The Genoa lineup is pinned to ship later this year with a hard launch planned for 2022 as AMD confirmed recently.
 
The LGA 6096 socket will feature 6096 pins arrange in the LGA (Land Grid Array) format. It looks like the peak power of the LGA 6096 SP5 socket will be rated at up to 700W which will only last for 1ms, the peak power at 10ms is rated at 440W while the peak power with PCC is rated at 600W. If the cTDP is exceeded, then the EPYC chips featured on the SP5 socket will return to these limits within 30ms.
 
The socket will support AMD's EPYC Genoa and future generations of EPYC chips. Talking about Genoa CPUs themselves, the chips will pack a mammoth 96 cores and 192 threads. These will be based on AMD's brand new Zen 4 core architecture which is expected to deliver some insane IPC uplifts while utilizing the TSMC 5nm process node.
 
It is stated that AMD's EPYC Genoa CPUs will feature 128 PCIe Gen 5.0 lanes, 160 for a 2P (dual-socket) configuration. The SP5 platform will also feature DDR5-5200 memory support which is some insane improvement over the existing DDR4-3200 MHz DIMMs. But that's not all, it will also support up to 12 DDR5 memory channels and 2 DIMMs per channel which will allow up to 3 TB of system memory using 128 GB modules.
 
The main competitor of AMD's EPYC Genoa lineup would be Intel's Sapphire Rapids Xeon family which is expected to launch in 2022 too with PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5 memory support. The lineup was recently rumored to not get a volume ramp until 2023. Overall, AMD's Genoa lineup seems to be in great form after this leak and could be a major disruption for the server segment if AMD plays its cards right till Genoa's launch.”
 
With the competition between AMD and Intel for the server market and both introducing new products, will AMD be able to gain more of a percentage of that market?
