Announced by AMD that more and more companies are betting on the EPYC Rome and also the EPYC 7H12, the company's most powerful.

AMD's EPYC Rome processors are breaking numerous records . This second generation of processors is making a significant impact in the professional segment. AMD expects these processors to help it regain considerable market share from Intel, which previously dominated this segment. These new processors offer higher performance than Intel's, consume less power, and are also more affordable.

EPYC Rome is based on Zen2 @ 7nm, as are the new Ryzen 3000 processors. The new AMD solutions go up to 64 cores and 128 threads. These processors will reach a maximum TDP of 280W and have support for PCIe 4.0.

AMD EPYC Rome processors have great popularity

As reported by AMD Italia, the number of customers only grows. Dell Technologies bases five of its Dell EMC PowerEdge platforms with these processors. IBM Cloud intends to increase its offering with new EPYC systems. Nokia will also use these processors for Cloud Packet Core systems, which promise to double performance over Intel's processor-based systems.

ATOS on the other hand announces that Genci supercomputers will be based on EPYC Rome processors. As reported ATOS is to break "the barrier of performance, efficiency and costs." OVHcloud, a company specialized in cloud systems, will use the EPYC 7402P for their hosting at the end of the year.

TSMC, who produces these processors, will use the Rome for "next generation research systems and leading manufacturing process technology"

As icing on the cake, the EPYC 7H12 has been announced, which will be the top of the range. This will have 64 cores and 128 threads with a base frequency of 2.6GHz and will arrive in Boost mode at 3.3GHz. It will have 256MB of L3 cache and a TDP of 280W. It outperforms the EPYC 7742 which has the same number of cores and threads. It differs in that it works at 2.25GHz and in Boost mode it reaches 3.4GHz. This processor has 55W less TDP than the EPYC 7H12.
