Last modified: 8 Apr 2022, 5:32:55 UTC First AMD Genoa motherboard and SP5 socket image with 12 DDR5 slots. https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?attachments/lga6096-png.20966/ See the socket attachments of SP5 for the cooling solution has changed to 6 threaded posts instead of 4 threaded sockets of SP3. Expected I guess to be able to pull the cpu evenly down to mate with LGA6096 pins. Unfortunately, An account upgrade is required to continue. I don't have a Facebook, Google or Twitter account which appear to be required to view that image. I can view the forums OK. EDIT- Found the image at Tom's Hardware. EDIT- Found the forum thread at STH, can see image, but can't click on it for full size. EDIT- Interesting, the original post was made Dec 31 last year. EDIT- i have to admit, i am really looking forward to Phoronix putting one of the top of the line Genoa CPUs through it's paces. Grant Darwin NT ID: 2097369 · Reply Quote

The all-AMD build ranks as the 3rd fastest computer according to the Top500 rankings owing to its 550 Petaflops performance. It also claims the title of the world's third-greenest supercomputer, thanks to the impressive energy efficiency of the Epyc CPUs and CDNA-based MI250X GPUs... ... LUMI was engineered to derive 100 percent of its energy from renewable sources. It can be fed up to 200 MW of energy through hydropower, while the supercomputer's waste heat will be repurposed towards the Kajaani district... ... The underlying software is powered by AMD's ROCm software stack, which stands in contrast to NVIDIA's CUDA thanks to its open-source approach. It also features a translation mechanism that can adapt CUDA-based code to AMD's software stack with minimal software engineering efforts... Openly and efficiently the way to go!

If true, they offer some interesting insights into where AMD is going with its silicon designs. It appears AMD is focusing more on IPC and clock gains in this generation and isn't as interested in competing with Intel on core count. Here's a breakdown of the SKUs per the leak: * Ryzen 9 7950X: 16 core / 32 threads, with base clock of 4.5GHz, a boost clock of 5.7GHz, a TDP of 170W, and 64MB of L3 / 16MB of L2 cache. * Ryzen 9 7900X: 12 core / 24 threads, with a base clock of 4.7GHz, a boost clock of 5.6GHz, a TDP of 170W, and 64MB of L3 / 12MB of L2 cache. * Ryzen 7 7700X: 8 core / 16 threads, with a base of clock of 4.5GHz, a boost clock of 5.4GHz, a TDP of 105W, and 32MB of L3 / 8MB of L2 cache. * Ryzen 5 7600X: 6 core / 12 threads, with a base clock of 4.7GHz, a boost clock of 5.4GHz, a TDP of 105W, and 32MB of L3 / 6MB of L2 cache.

Actually if you stick to the base DDR5 spec of 4800-CL40, the modules are not that much more expensive than DDR4. It's when you push for the higher speeds and lower latencies do the modules go stratospheric in cost.

Can't complain about the Ryzen 9 7950X retail MSRP pricing of $699. That is $100 less than the launch price of the Ryzen 9 5950X. Cheaper and better performance all in one generational uplift. Assume the aggressive pricing of Alder Lake by Intel had something to do with the pricing. Gotta love manufacturer competition for benefiting the consumer.

Speculation that the internal microcode in the Zen 4 die already has optimized pathways that take into account the security mitigations. Or that the software developers have optimized their code pathways to choose the fastest route with the standard security mitigations in place.
