AMD has launched its fifth-generation Epyc processors, codenamed Turin, featuring up to 192 cores and clock speeds reaching 5 GHz. This new lineup includes two variants: a performance-tuned version with 8 to 128 full Zen 5 cores and a throughput-optimized version with 96 to 192 compact Zen 5C cores. AMD claims significant performance advantages over Intel's latest Xeon processors, with the 192-core Epyc 9965 reportedly achieving a 2.7x lead in benchmark tests against Intel's 64-core Xeon 8592+. The new Epycs are designed to excel in high-performance computing (HPC) workloads, with AMD asserting that they can outperform Intel's offerings by up to 60% in specific applications. However, AMD's Turin lacks support for high-speed memory configurations, which could limit its performance in memory-intensive tasks compared to Intel's Xeons. The new processors are built on advanced manufacturing processes, allowing for increased core counts and improved performance per watt, although they also come with higher power consumption, rated up to 500 W. AMD aims to leverage these advancements to increase its market share in the datacenter CPU segment, currently holding about 33.7% of the market.
