EPYC 9004 Series Processors with AMD 3D V-Cache Technology Deliver Leading Performance for Technical Computing

For customers in the design and manufacturing industries, in order to launch better products, in addition to the industry's top engineers, they also need stronger technical computing to support faster design iterations and more powerful simulations. Therefore, they have more stringent requirements for design and analysis workloads, hoping to obtain out-of-the-box speed, the potential for super-linear expansion and improved productivity.

AMD's fourth-generation AMD EPYC 9004 series processors (formerly code-named "Genoa-X") with AMD 3D V-Cache technology have excellent performance and are suitable for more demanding technical computing workloads.

"Genoa-X" uses the same core chiplet to integrate cache, with up to 96 "Zen 4" cores and 1152MB L3 cache per socket. The larger cache can provide complex data sets to the CPU faster and bring innovations to processor and workload optimization, thereby maximizing the potential of scientific computing.

"Genoa-X" is a high-performance x86 server processor designed specifically for technical computing, bringing higher efficiency to demanding design and simulation workloads1 ^, which can help companies handle some of the most challenging, compute-intensive work faster. Its average performance in Ansys® CFX® workloads is up to 2.44 times higher, and when faced with demanding CFD workloads, the amount of design work completed per day using "Genoa-X" is much higher than before2 ^. For companies with advanced digital design needs, this can increase the number of design iterations per day, thereby significantly accelerating product development, reducing capital expenditures and operating expenses, and enabling teams to develop better quality products and bring them to market faster, thereby improving corporate competitiveness.
