AMD has added around six new third-generation EPYC Milan processors to its lineup, extending the availability of these CPUs until 2026. This move reflects AMD’s confidence in the success of this server-focused series.
AMD EPYC Milan: Six CPUs with up to 56 Cores and 112 Threads
AMD EPYC Milan processors typically offer an advantage over the fourth-generation EPYC ‘Genoa’ and ‘Bergamo’ series</strong in terms of cost-effectiveness while maintaining a substantial number of cores and performance. Therefore, the introduction of six new processors makes perfect sense. These processors include the following:
List of New Processors
- AMD EPYC 7203 (8 cores + 16 threads, 64 MB cache, and 120W TDP)
- AMD EPYC 7203P (8 cores + 16 threads, 64 MB L3 cache, and 120W TDP) (Socket 1P)
- AMD EPYC 7303 (16 cores + 32 threads, 64 MB L3 cache, and 130W TDP)
- AMD EPYC 7303P (16 cores + 32 threads, 64 MB L3 cache, and 130W TDP) (Socket 1P)
- AMD EPYC 7643P (48 cores + 96 threads, 256 MB L3 cache, and 225W TDP) (Socket 1P)
- AMD EPYC 7663P (56 cores + 112 threads, 256 MB L3 cache, and 240W TDP) (Socket 1P)
These six processors have been introduced two years since the launch of the EPYC Milan series, filling in some gaps within this extensive catalog, ranging from 8 cores to 64 cores.
These processors are based on AMD’s Zen 3 architecture and support up to 8 channels of DDR4 memory and up to 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes.
“Today’s CIOs and IT decision-makers, leveraging legacy data center infrastructure, need a smooth and direct upgrade path to next-generation technologies at a pace that meets their needs,” said Dan McNamara, Senior Vice President and General Manager of AMD’s Server Business Unit. “We have seen a clear opportunity to offer our customers more choices that bring the performance and leadership efficiency of EPYC to technically less demanding yet still critical business workloads. Servers equipped with third-generation AMD EPYC CPUs provide an impressive price-performance ratio in widely deployed, cost-effective, and proven mainstream technologies.”
The aim is for these processors to be cost-effective variants that allow manufacturers such as Cisco, Dell, Gigabyte, HPE, Lenovo, or Supermicro to offer more affordable solutions with good performance. For more information, you can visit the official AMD page. We will keep you informed.
