AMD Zen 4 EPYC CPU Benchmarked Showing a 17% Single Thread Performance Increase from Zen 3
The next-generation flagship AMD GENOA EPYC CPU has recently appeared on Geekbench 5 in a dual-socket configuration for a total of 192 cores and 384 threads. The processors were installed in an unknown Suma 65GA24 motherboard running at 3.51 GHz and paired with 768 GB of DDR5 memory. This setup achieved a single-core score of 1460 and multi-core result of 96535 which places the processor approximately 17% ahead of an equivalently clocked 128 core EPYC 7763 in single-threaded performance. The Geekbench listing also includes an OPN code of 100-000000997-01 which most likely corresponds to the flagship AMD EPYC 9664 with a max TDP of 400 W according to existing leaks.

Geekbench is quite sus with results though
they ll delay and are delaying even more ( DG2 and server CPUs) - I don't remember if intel has followed any of the road maps these days!
I assume that it's with boosting. That would mean we could expect similar gain for Ryzen CPU. If it's at static clock and Ryzen 7000 is clock way higher than Zen 3, this will mean huge gain.
We will know more soon. but still that is a nice gain.
Yes, the Alder Lake CPU's are great (competition at last), and yes both Raptor Lake and AMD 7000 will be out shortly, but AMD 8000 is only 1-year away (depending on a million factors).!
Be grateful that we have competition in all arenas, and new technology all happening at once, it's glorious :D
Now if the number uplift basically means this keeps up with Alderlake design per core in a single thread but has 40% more cores per socket that is MASSIVE in the datacenter environment in terms of density capability and min/maxing U space utilisation.
Now how the HBM intergration on Sapphire Rapids will impact performance will be interesting to see as 3D cache on the previous Gen Milan vs Non 3d cached models could provide a 10% uptick in server/workstation workloads in situations where large cache would be beneficial (think database crunching/medical modelling etc)
Intel I think will take the Single/Low threaded crown even in the datacenter so things like FinTech etc will be throwing all the money at Intel regardless.
Im just glad we have 2 VERY competative options in the market pushing innovation/improvements with each release vs the Stagnation Of Sandy to Coffee Lake when Bulldozer/Piledriver/Excavator was the only competition.
Not sure how one cools 384 threads :laugh:
For the clueless people, I didn't mean 96 cores max for the double socket system (48+48), I mean 96 per cpu.
Zen 4 with 3D V-Cache is not far away, for the desktop parts at least.!
IMHO, it is fairly likely that AMD will launch Zen 4 EPYC CPU's with 3D V-Cache models (at the same time they launch the non V-Cache models), if so, this gives Intel another kick in the delicates.!
FYI: Here is some info.
