AMD EPYC 9654P 96 core Zen 4 spotted on Geekbench

the processor AMD EPYC 9654P is sighted in Geekbench with its 96 Zen 4 cores and a clock speed of 3.7 GHz. Geekbench is usually a benchmark tool that publishes its results online, so there are always results for CPUs that have not yet been released on the market.

AMD EPYC 9654P 96 core Zen 4 spotted on Geekbench

the processor EPYC 9654P of AMD It features a Genoa architecture and runs at a clock speed of 3.7 GHz. This is the first EPYC series that is using the new Zen 4 cores, which would explain the results over the previous EPYC generation.

The chip this offers a total of 96 cores and 192 threadswhich are possible with a few 12 CCD inside. Each CCD has regarding 8 Zen 4 cores. It is known that the Genoa series will offer 50% more cores than the Milan-X series.

Going into more detail regarding the EPYC 9654 “Genoa”, this has regarding 32 MB of L3 cache per CCD to be shared between all cores on the CCD and a total of 1 MB of L2 cache per core. In total, we are talking regarding 384 MB of L3 cache and 96 MB of L2 cache. This means a big increase in the amount of cache memory compared to the EPYC 7763 ‘Milan’, which has a total of 256 MB of L3 (32 MB per CCD) and 32 MB of L2 (512 KB per core).
