A set of details on AMD's upcoming Naples platform's family of EPYC CPUs has leaked on the site videocardz.com, claiming that the top product, the EPYC 7601, will feature a turbo clock of no less than 3.2 GHz (base clocks are more moderate at around 2.2 GHz for the EPYC 7601), with a core count of 32 Zen units, and 64 threads. These clocks are pretty high for a 32-core CPU, and will probably be only for a handful of cores at a time. The EPYC 7601 is also a hot chip according to this leak, in both thermals and price. It costs over $4000 USD, and has a TDP of 180 Watts (not bad at all for a 32-core part, though!)
The rest of the lineup is detailed as well, but as this is a leak that is blatantly admitting to violating an NDA, it goes without saying this could be nothing more than a fabrication. Take it with your usual dose of healthy skepticism.

Bet if they down-clocked to 1GHz they could get it down to 65w. :kookoo:
But dam those chips looks AWESOME! :P.
some one would have to test that but i would be surpised if 1GHz was truely the most efficient clock. I would wager 1.5-2.5 GHz is the ideal range but i havent tested one of these so i am going off history of CPUs on whats most efficient. There is a large fixed power draw in CPUs where lower mhz does not mean the most efficient.
Edit: does anyone know if EPYC is an acronym?
That does not mean that there wont be people who will buy these CPUs and attempt to OC them: i'm sure there will be those that will do so, but these people will most likely not use these chips as servers.
