AMD EPYC 7004 “Genoa” processor pictured, features twelve Zen4 chips

AMD Epyc Genoa with 12 chips shown

Just yesterday, the first photo of the new SP5 (LGA6096) socket appeared, and now we can finally see the next-gen EPYC processor without the integrated heatsink.

A photo of a purported EPYC Genoa processor was shared on TF AMD (Top Talent) in Malaysia. This is the first photo showing the 12 chiplets installed on the SP5 package. What’s important to note here is that this is most likely a mockup and the photo is at least 10 months old (judging by when it was posted).

EPYC Genoa offers up to 96 cores and 192 threads in its full configuration. AMD will release many SKUs with partially disabled cores, so just because this CPU has 12 chiplets doesn’t mean it will have all 96 cores active.

Each Zen4 CCD chip has an area of ​​72 mm², which is 8 mm² less than Zen3 (as on the EPYC “Milan” series). The I/O die is also smaller, around 397mm² compared to 416mm² on the Zen3 EPYC processors. That said, AMD had no trouble installing 6 chiplets on either side of the I/O die, given that the SP5 package (LGA 6096) is also 37% larger than the SP3.
