AMD has officially announced the availability of their EPYC Gen 5 server CPUs with code name Turin, launched in mid of the previous year. These CPUs are based on Zen 5 and Zen 5c architectures, supporting DDR on the SP5 platform with core options starting from 8 cores up to a maximum of 192 cores and 384 threads, boasting a throughput 2.7 times better than the competition.
In the EPYC 9005 series, a new submodel with 64 cores, the EPYC 9575F, has been introduced to work alongside GPUs, enhancing AI processing capabilities with a maximum boost clock of 5GHz. Benchmarking against Intel’s Xeon 8592+ using NVIDIA’s H100 GPU shows a 15% improvement in training tasks and a 20% improvement in inference tasks.
The EPYC Gen 5 CPUs are now available through server partners such as Cisco, Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo, Supermicro, and various cloud service providers. Since its introduction in 2018, AMD has seen a significant growth in market share, from a mere 2% to 34% in 2024, with over 350 OEM partners and more than 950 cloud instances.
