Hardware AMD EPYC 7371 3.1-3.6Ghz +700mhz clock speed boost part announced

eva2000 · Nov 14, 2018

Patrick from STH posted the news of a new AMD EPYC 7371 3.1-3.6Ghz clocked part which has +700mhz higher base and turbo boost frequency with 16 cores + 16 threads = 32 cpu threads New AMD EPYC 7371 Frequency Optimized Processor Launched. All 16 cpu core turbo boost is at 3.6Ghz but for 8 cpu core turbo boost it goes to 3.8Ghz !

Interesting part of this story is that I actually proposed such a while back but suggested +400mhz boost would be enough for AMD EPYC to take the crown from Intel. Patrick reminded me of this on Twitter too Patrick J Kennedy on Twitter

AMD EPYC 7371 Key Specs
We do not have full specs on the chip yet, however, what we do know is that the AMD EPYC 7371 has 16 cores and 32 threads. Since this is a “73×1” part, we expect that it will also have 64MB L3 cache.

Clock speeds are much higher. The AMD EPYC 7351P featured a 2.4GHz base and 2.9GHz turbo clock with a 170W TDP. AMD announced that the AMD EPYC 7371 will have a 3.1 GHz base frequency, with a 3.6GHz all core boost frequency and a 3.8GHz max boost frequency for eight cores. That is a 700MHz+ upgrade over the AMD EPYC 7351 and 7351P. For those who wanted higher frequency AMD EPYC SKUs, this is it.

Since this is not listed as a “P” SKU, we expect it to be dual socket capable. AMD did not give out the official TDP, but it is reasonable to assume that increasing clock speed by 700MHz will yield more power. The AMD SP3 socket has plenty of thermal headroom for higher-power processors.

George is changing AMD! I wonder if you get a couple free processors?

I wish. But great to see AMD EPYC and EPYC 2 giving Intel some competition - it's much needed

Review of AMD EPYC 7371 is in AMD EPYC 7371 Review Now The Fastest 16 Core CPU

With the release of the AMD EPYC 7371, AMD will have a chip with more performance than the Intel Xeon Scalable family at 16 cores. It will have more memory capacity and PCIe lanes than the Intel Xeon Scalable family. That will change the industry’s narrative on AMD EPYC v. Intel Xeon.

The AMD EPYC 7371 is the chip that fixes AMD’s Achilles heel: clock speed. Until now, Intel has had an advantage in clock speed while AMD has had an advantage in core counts with their current generations. With a 3.6GHz all core turbo and a 3.8GHz 8-core turbo, the AMD EPYC 7371 now matches or exceeds virtually every public Intel Xeon Scalable SKU.

Key stats for the AMD EPYC 7371: 16 cores / 32 threads, 3.1GHz base, and 3.6GHz all core turbo. With 8 cores active, the AMD EPYC 7371 hits 3.8GHz turbo boost clocks. Feeding these high-speed cores is a whopping 64MB L3 cache or 4MB per core. The CPU features a 200W TDP which is the hottest AMD EPYC 7001 series CPU we have seen in the lab.

More regarding AMD EPYC 7371 high cpu clocked cpu at AMD EPYC 7371, Bringing Speed to HPC Workloads | Community

In November we showed those customers that we were listening and introduced the brand new EPYC 7371 processor, a new high-frequency product in the EPYC 7000 series family. Providing 16 cores at 3.6Ghz all core boost and a 3.8Ghz max boost for eight cores, the AMD EPYC 7371 is a perfect processor for workloads like EDA and high-performance computing that need access to higher frequency speeds. For AMD, the EPYC 7371 is particularly important as we race towards time to market with our next generation 7nm parts in the CPU and GPU space. You can read more here about how the EPYC 7371 helped us do that with the recently announced 7nm, Radeon™ VII products.

And now the first AMD EPYC 7371 systems are available, providing the high-frequency core performance that EDA and similar workloads need. There are numerous OEMs that are supporting the EPYC 7371 processor in their platforms.

For HPE customers, it is available in the fantastic HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen 10 server, which is purpose built to address to address HPC workloads of all kinds. Supermicro is supporting the EPYC 7371 across their entire AMD portfolio, including the BigTwin and Ultra lines that are popular among HPC and enterprise customers. We expect additional OEMs like ASUS, Gigabyte and Tyan to announce their support for the EPYC 7371 in the coming months.

Beyond high-frequency speeds for EDA workloads, the 7371 gives customers using software with a core-based licensing structure like ANSYS Fluent a benefit. Having a lower core count and a higher frequency processor allows them to get the best performance for their application, while optimizing their licensing costs without having to sacrifice memory and I/O.

No matter if you are running EDA, HPC, or any other workloads that need access to high-frequency cores combined with incredible memory bandwidth and expansive I/O capabilities, the AMD EPYC 7371 is the right choice, providing the performance and price needed to get work done, with speed and cost, efficiently.
