AMD has announced the launch of its 5th-gen EPYC Turin processors, set to hit the market in the second half of 2024. These 3nm chips are a significant leap in AMD’s data center offerings, marking the debut of the Zen 5 architecture.
The EPYC Turin processors will feature up to 192 cores and 384 threads, fabricated on the 3nm process node. These chips will be paired with a 6nm I/O Die (IOD) in a single socket, making them a powerhouse for data center operations.
The Turin processors come in two variants: one using standard Zen 5 cores and another using a density-optimized variant called Zen 5c. The highest core count models will utilize AMD’s Zen 5c architecture, which uses density-optimized cores similar to Intel’s e-cores.
AMD claims that these new processors are up to 5.4x faster than Intel’s current-gen Xeon chips in key AI workloads. This significant performance boost is set to make the EPYC Turin processors a game-changer in the data center market.
