A very interesting article from Phoronix, where they compare the original Zen 1 EPYC server CPU Naples with the latest and greatest Genoa CPUs. The improvements in performance are quite astounding.

Looking forward later this year to the resurgence of AMD HEDT platform with Zen 4 "Siena" cpus.

AMD 8000 processors with 32c/64t or 64c/128t configurations using the Zen 4c core.

Packages and sockets will have the same footprint as SP3 sockets with a slightly higher pin count per socket. Socket is SP6/TR6.

Cpus will consist of 4 CCX dies and an I/O die with the CCX's containing 16 Zen 4c cores. L3 caches will be half of Zen 4 cores. Same 96 PCIE Gen5 lanes as Zen 4.

Follow the standards/specs, or... Really? How many USBs?...
