AMD EPYC Bergamo CPUs Deliver Up To 128 Zen 4C Cores To Cloud & Data Centers, Up To 2.6x Faster Than Sapphire Rapids

AMD's EPYC Bergamo CPUs break official ground today, offering up to 128 Zen 4C cores to cloud and data center servers. The Bergamo chips are designed to offer higher density in an efficient chip package.

The AMD EPYC Bergamo CPUs are the first products to feature a brand new iteration of Zen cores known as the "C" series which are density optimized. Bergamo being the first is featuring the latest Zen 4C cores which offer double the core count of a traditional Zen 4 die and are designed purely for density-optimized servers where the most amount of cores are required. With Genoa, the red team offered up to 96 cores but with Bergamo, AMD will be offering up to 128 cores with half the die area. Some of the features of Bergamo include:

The main competition of AMD's EPYC Bergamo is the various Arm & compute-density optimized chips coming from Intel such as Sierra Forest which is going to feature up to 144 E-Cores. Intel's solution won't be out till the first half of 2024 and that is if everything goes according to plan for Intel 4 (process node). This will also be targeted as the competitor to NVIDIA's Grace which relies purely on Arm cores and among a dozen of other Arm-based chips that are becoming a common household in major tech data centers.

So what we already know about AMD's EPYC Bergamo CPUs is that they will feature up to 128 cores based on the Zen 4C cores which are fabricated on TSMC's 5nm process node which can be seen as a slight improvement over the 5nm process node which powers the Zen 4 cores at the moment. It's going to offer up to 256 threads so multi-threading is there whereas that's not the case with Intel's E-Cores, it supports 12-channel DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen 5.0 functionality, & is drop-in compatible with
