> 500w is only for... 128/196 chips. The 16 core fast sku has a 320W TDP. When you think about it. 180W more for 7x threads is amazing

It’s not new that high frequencies require higher power.

The base clock falls by half between the fastest and the widest chips.

At 1:11 in the video, there's a chart of the TDP (which I looked for in the text but couldn't find). At 125-500W, these things run very hot.

Doubtful, the 350W threadripper parts don’t run particularly hot with normal desktop cooling. I’ve overclocked a 7975WX with an unrestricted power limit, and could dissipate over 800W while keeping it below 90C (admittedly, with water cooling). 500W with server cooling (super high RPM forced air) shouldn’t be a problem.

The 7950x3D is rated at 120w TDP. 320w seems quite high.

that's the processor you're supposed to buy only if you are paying $10000 per core per year for some ridiculously expensive enterprise software. the extra power comes from all the extra memory channels and cache

Naples, Rome, Milan, Genoa, and Turin are just cities in Italy; I'm not sure what's childish about that. They have to use something for codenames.

Whats wrong with an arbitary 16 digit number?

I'm sure each of the products has a numeric identifier. One can use that if they feel pressed by the "childish" names.

This is lazy criticism and honestly, I'll take a name like Epyc over Intel Core Ultra 7 258V or Ryzen AI 9 HX 370.

Yes, it must be everybody else, not your comment, which is the pinnacle of deep analysis. Get real, dude.

Here I am running a 12 year old Dell PowerEdge with dual Xeons.. I wonder when the first gen Epyc servers will be cheap fodder on eBay.

Unsure about the Epyc chips but Ryzen 5 series kit was being given away on Amazon in the week...

I snagged a 9 5950X for £242

The criticism is about "EPYC" not about the codenames. That brand name has been used since 2017 but if you don't know that, it sounds quite gamery nowadays. Admittedly I also have no idea why Intel calls theirs Xeon, which sounds like misspelled xenon. But then it might be a proper Greek word?

Trademarks are easier if they are not words (no prior use or conflicts), but having them be like words is easier so people can say them.

I'd like to see the 9965 in action. These parts are crazy. Will definitely be looking to buy a machine from this generation. https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/server/epyc/9005-...

I wonder how this compares to the 7950x3d. So much cache and a high boost clock. https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/server/epyc/9005-...

Great if you have 16 independent workloads, terrible for things that care about communication between threads.

It has 16 CCD, each with only one thread enabled, latency between CCD is ~150ns.

Truly mind boggling scale.

Twenty years ago we had just 1-2 cores per CPU, so we were lucky to have 4 cores in a dual socket server.

A single server can now have almost 400 cores. Yes, we can have even more ARM cores but they don't perform as well as these do, at least for now.
